You may only benefit from this mutation if you actually rolled a natural 20, not by purposefully selecting the mutation.

Pete, you were a backer of the recent Pathfinder MMO kickstarter, yes? (The second one, not the demo.)

Anybody going to be at Kublacon?
I know of at least two other people that will be saving theirs to play at Kublacon. In fact, I would suggest listing them in the KublaCon Thread. I would love to track how many of these show up and get signed during the weekend.

Do I actually have to sit as a player with my character that wiull have this boon at a table with another player whose character has this boon for us to use these together to pick the bonus,
or
if I am GMing, and giving the credit to the character I have given this boon, and there is a player whose character has this boon, can we pick the bonus that way?
I'm betting the former, but hoping the latter.
Giving this to my Kitsune for the Disguise boost. Change into her human form and then disguise myself from there to look like another race. Disguise-ception! :P

okay so now we will see the yellow tengu (bigbird) with the wholly mammoth companion (snuffleupagus) traveling with Kermit (grippli boon for GenCon 2013). Hell, we could add in a drum-playing goblin (special boon from GenCon 2012) named Animal and a half-orc female bard (Miss Piggy). What's next? Elmo?!? <.< >.> O.O
Please sit at my table of Bonekeep! It'll be fun, I promise. >:D
So this is a permanent effect in game that you paid actual money for?
Smells like a freemium computer game.

I've been trying to get a good answer to this, but I haven't really gotten one that makes any sense to me.
Every boon or magic item I've ever pulled at a promo/perk at, say, GenCon, has been pre-signed by an event GM. That signature wasn't tied to the "attachment to the character" it was just pre-signed.
The elixir boon is, obviously, NOT pre-signed.
Paizo folks tell me via e-mail that "The GM signs the boon when you attach it to your character," which... OK, but then why are all the GenCon boons pre-signed? Shouldn't they ALSO be signed when they're attached to the character?
Does anyone have some experience with this, who could perhaps explain this discrepancy to me?
The race boons are signed to indicate that they're legitimate. They don't need a GM's oversight for application.
The EE boon is watermarked to indicate it's legitimate. It does need a GM's oversight for application.

I believe this conversation was had already, but I'm too lazy to find the link. You get a fun little boon, but it's not a big deal. People who received it are not going to suddenly outclass other characters like you will sometimes see in online computer games.

Most of my characters could benefit from #5's bonus to carrying capacity. It's probably what I'll end up going with.
I'm interested in the aestetics of a white-haired witch taking #10 and having prehensile porcupine quills. Something like Kerrigan comes to mind. I'm not sure how the mechanics would stack though.
I know at least one halfling who thinks he's a goblin and is probably (OOC) going to take #16 to help with the disguise.

Oh man; 8 characters (with at least 1 XP) * 19 results = 152 options to choose from. And that's ignoring the option of adding it to a brand new, not yet built PC...Sorry Paz:
The last sentence before the table indicates that it is 1/player
I think what he meant is that *because* it's 1/player, he has to look at over 152 options and just pick ONE.

Ahh, my bad.

Indeed. I'll probably end up putting it on a low level PC that I know I'm happy playing; it seems a bit silly to put it on one that's already halfway through their PFS career.
Maybe the low light vision one for my human 2nd-level witch.

Most of my characters could benefit from #5's bonus to carrying capacity. It's probably what I'll end up going with.I had considered that one for a while, but seeing as it doesn't really matter after you can afford the 2,000gp for a handy haversack, I'm probably going to use it to give my human heavens oracle low-light vision...
The haversack helps, but weighs 5 lbs on its own. Add to that clothing, spell component pouch, belts, cloaks, shoes, armor, a wayfinder, and the weapon you're holding, and it's easy to find yourself at 30 or 40 lbs again.
Raise carrying strength from 9 to 11 and strap the haversack onto a masterwork backpack, and you just gained 13 lbs of carrying.

Muuuutaaant royal ruuuumble!: ** spoiler omitted **...
Funny list. In real life I have several of these "mutations", including 6, 8, 9, & 11.
Twice as many as I could get through this boon.
BTW, 8 has nasty side effects on your life-expectancy. Due to the increased clotting factor, you get a higher risk for strokes when you get older. So if you get this one, you should lose one more CON than you normally would as you age (-2 for middle age, -3 for old age), and die real soon after you hit venerable.

Can the "simple Advanced template until the end of the adventure" boost be used during a module?Did we ever get an answer to this?
Modules and APs are not scenarios, so you can't use the Advanced Template option during them. That option specifically states it has to be used during a scenario.
Since modules are roughly two to three times longer than a scenario, the option to use the template during a module will most likely not be approved. Since that leads to unbalanced rewards between the two options.
If the advanced template had the option of being used in three different scenarios, I could of seen it being allowed in a single module for the expenditure of all three scenario uses.

As the member of the Paizo staff who answered your query both when you addressed it to Goblinworks and to Paizo's customer service, I'll do my best.
First, we have never, to date, issued a pre-signed digital asset to anyone via any venue. We have no plans to start distributing Chronicle sheets in that manner.
Second, this Chronicle sheet involves a random die roll or other variables that need to be adjudicated by a GM to ensure they're handled correctly. When you get access to a new race via a convention boon or gain a new language or bonus to hit, that's about as straightforward as a boon can be. In this case, a player can add a simple template to a character 1 time OR roll randomly to get a special permanent mutation OR choose a permanent mutation when others utilize the same boon simultaneously. To prevent someone from just applying a preselected boon to a character without a GM being there to verify that, yes, in fact two people did use the Chronicle sheet at the same time, a GM must be present to verify that the Chronicle has been properly administered to the character in question.
I hope that's clearer than past clarifications on why this Chronicle sheet contains no signature.

Did they ever decide if the DM counted as a player to roll up this boon with?
At Kublacon, I was told they did not. Very frustrating, as the only other person I found there who had one (that hadn't just blown it on bonekeep) was either playing at my table or I was at theirs.
|
To expand on Seth's question. If two players are present with the boon, but playing at different tables, can they both use the boon to pick their mutation prior to their respective games ( with GM oversight to the selection, of course) or do both ayers need to be at the same table?
Don't have a copy immediately handy, so if this question is covered on it, just disregard.
