Blood Resevoir of Physcal Prowess in PFS

[mjmeans]

Since adding charges to the item cause CON damage which is healed normally, is it assumed that the item was charged at some point between scenarios and begins each scenario/session fully charged?

[Patrick Harris @ MU]

That would be my assumption, but be prepared for some GMs to hate that idea. Fortunately it's cheap and slotless, so even if one GM won't let you use it, it's not a huge hardship.

This item doesn't seem to have a maximum number of charges, unless I am mistaken, meaning you could theoretically have something like 1k charges, sure it'd take something like 3 years between games to get 1k charges, but the point is you could theoretically give yourself +2000 Strength for a round and pretty much one shot anything if you don't roll a natural 1.

Filling the reservoir takes a full minute, deals 4 points of Constitution damage (which can be healed normally), and imbues the reservoir with 4 charges.

Maximum of four charges.

That would be a really crewel thing to do... charge it with 4 CON damage, then cast restoration, then repeat. Several times a day. It must be immensely painful to charge it. I suspect after a week or so of doing this, you would either go insane or join the hell knights. :)

It does say "Filling the reservoir takes...". If it's full, then it can't hold any more. 4 charges. That's it.

I suspect that most of the people that want to use this item don't realize that command word takes a standard action to activate.

Yeah, it really cuts down on it's awesomeness.
