Doing my first PFS today. How do I find out what books certain abilities / traits / gear come from?


Pathfinder Society


I'm making a level 1 half-orc for a PFS that starts in 30 min. I own a lot of books, so I just assumed I'd be able to back up the build I made from using the d20pfsrd database. However, I have no idea how to figure out what books any of this stuff is in since the database doesn't mention it.

How strictly do stores enforce the rule? If I just show them a backpack full full of 10 PF books, will they leave me alone and assume I own the book?

Some examples that i'm using on my level 1 character and I have no idea what book they are in:

Toothy: Some Half-orcs’ vestigial tusks are massive and sharp, granting a bite attack. This is a primary natural attack that deals 1d4 points of piercing damage. This racial trait replaces the orc ferocity racial trait.

Weapon Cord

Vermin Repellent

Halp?

At the bottom of the page for each ability on d20pfsrd.com it tells you what book it comes from.

I don't see anywhere on that page where it says what book it comes from.

and from here: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/advanced/advancedGear.html
it doesn't say where weapon cord comes from.

I now see that the vermin repellent comes the adventurer's armory (which I own, but randomly wasn't going to bring, heh).

4/5

Toothy is in the Advanced Player's Guide and Advanced Race Guide.

Weapon Cord is in APG, Adventurer's Armory and Ultimate Equipment.

Vermin Repellent is in Adventurer's Armory and Ultimate Equipment.

The Exchange

I generally use nethys, it has always had the book and page number for anything i've needed

fwiw
weapon cord is ue page 58
toothy looks like tusked from orcs of golarion page 23 if you dont have arg/apg
vermin repellent ue page 101, aa page 19

5/5

I realize this is too late to help you for this game, but for future reference, I'd check out the Archives of Nethys instead of the d20pfsrd: http://www.archivesofnethys.com/
