PFS Item Purchases

Party People:

I am confused about access to magic items. The guide to pathfinder society organized play says +1 weapons, armor, mundane items and all of Chapter 6 are always available.

Does that mean if I want to buy a headband of vast intellect I must encounter one on a chronicle sheet?

Does that mean stat-boost items are exceptionally rare?

The guide to PFSOP seems not only very restrictive, but skewed toward martial characters.

Thank you in advance for the inputs...

Stay Awesome!

Finding items on a chronicle sheet is one way to gain access. The other way is to increase your fame score to a point where those items become readily available. Keep reading the guide and take a look at the Fame and Purchasing chart.

Kyle,

Thanks for the input. I guies I'm strictly looking at the pg 23 (right column, top paragraph) limitation that "Weapons, armor, equipment, magic items adn so on that are outside of these lists are not available for purchase at any time."

Then Fame allows for purchases through the faction. The limit increases the value of the item, but nowhere does it specify what items are available. The "purchase spells and items from her faction between scenarios" verbiage on pg 25 (left column, top paragraph) does not specify what spells and items to which the faction has access.

Does that mean any item from a book permitted via the Pathfinder Society Additional Resources may be purchased?

P.S. I loved your "countdown to killing the cleric" at GenCon thread. Way to write a scenario allowing you to settle a personal vendetta (i.e. invoking Rule 0).

Thanks again!

As long as the value of the item is equal to or less than the value allowed by your fame, yes.

Terrific, and thank you for the clarification.
