Equipment and the PRD

[Anhara]

Since many items, such as the Traveler's Anytool, are listed in the PRD do I actually need to own the books the equipment is in, or can I simply refer to the PRD?

For what purpose? You can have anything your GM will let you have.

If this is for PFS, you're in the wrong forum, but if I recall correctly you must own (and bring) any publication whose materials you're using.

In PFS, for an item outside the player's core assumption (the core rulebook and the Guide to Organised Play, which contains stats for one item that I know of: the standard wayfinder), you must provide, if your GM requests it, either a hard copy of the book or a PDF of the book with your watermark on it (printed out or immediately visible on a device), as well as the current Additional Resources list. Websites, including the PRD, are not legal sources for additional rules.
