Is it allowed to combine magical items?


Pathfinder Society

Shadow Lodge 1/5

Greetings!

I've got a question regarding magic items:
In the core rules on page 549 it says that you can combine several magical items together that would normally occupy the same space.
The cost of such items are calculated as follows:
[100% GM of the first item + 150% cost of the second item]=Cost of the new item.

For example:
A combination of a Cloak of Elvenkind and a Cloak of resistance +2 would cost 7750 GM (4000 + [2500 x 1,5] GM).

My Question to this rule:
Is this allowed in the Pathfinder Society Organized Play?
I haven't found anything to it.

I thank you in advance for your participation in this topic!

Crafting is NOT allowed in Pathfinder Society.

Crafting is not allowed; nor is purchasing anything that's a non-standard magic item. If an item (with its price and creation prerequisites) isn't explicitly listed in an legal rules source for the campaign, it's not allowed.

No,because it's a custom item. The ONLY things allowed are item straight out of allowed sources and what you can purchase from a chronicle. No customisation .... period.

I know, that crafting isn't allowed. My question was about buying items.

Does it mean, that a combination of the standard magic items wouldn't be a legal standard item?

Is there a rule that says this explicitly?
Where can I find it? PFSGtOP?

The rule states what's allowed are items in the book. You also misunderstand. Only what's stated is what's allowed. There is no rule that says combos of standard magic items are legal. You can only buy what's listed in the source and combos are not listed.

From the PFS FAQ:

"Magic items or spellcasting services must be purchased as listed in the Core Rulebook"

Bolded the two most important words in relevancy.
