Magic Item Questions and / or Clarification Requested


Pathfinder Society


All of the following questions pertain to PFS Organized Play when buying magic items with gold presuming one has sufficient fame:

1) You can buy a Belt of Giant Strength, but does it have to be a belt? Could one buy it as Gauntlets?
A) If so, does PSOP have "slot affinity rules" as I've seen vaguely mentioned (it's unclear whether they are referring to PSOP, Pathfinder in general, or some edition of D&D)?
B) If so, is the affinity only for the slots the items can be bought in, or are they broader than that?
C) What is the multiplier for the cost of getting an enchant in a non-affinity slot? If using a different slot is allowed at all, is the cost doubled for a non-slot version as suggested by the CRB?

2) If one has Feather Step Slippers, can one add the Boots of Speed enchantment to them?
A) If so, how is the price of the upgrade determined? Would it be the price of the second enchant +50%, as suggested in the CRB?
B) Would the price be different if one wanted to add the Feather Step Slippers Enchant to Boots of Speed, since it would then be the cheaper enchant whose cost is increased 50%?
C) When one does the upgrade, which *total price* is used to determine whether the character has sufficient fame to buy the upgrade? Is it the price actually paid by the character for both enchants? Is it the price of building the item in the most efficient manner (e.g. Speed first, then Feather Step, regardless of which order the character actually performed the upgrades)? Or is it the price of building them item in the least efficient manner (e.g. Feather Step, then Speed)?

If the item doesn't exist in a book, you can't buy it.

In other words, a belt has to be a belt. Slippers have to be slippers.

And you can't add anything to an item that the item doesn't have in the book.

The only exception to this is that you can use the options for weapons, armor and shields to upgrade your weapon, armor or shield to have different enhancements.
