Hi everyone !
I would like to play a rock thrower leveraging the Stone Oracle "Rock Throwing" Revelation (see below). However, I suddenly realized that a "rock" is not an item listed in any Legal Source I was aware of (please correct me if I am wrong). I am talking about a simple stone rock for throwing purposes.
So here are my questions :
1) Is there any PFS Legal way to buy a rock ?
2) Am I allowed to pick up a rock off the ground and write it in my inventory sheet ?
3) Assuming that I could pick a rock, am I allowed to actually use such a mundane item if it is not listed in any PFS Legal source ?
Thanks for your help and advice !
Rock Throwing (Ex): You are an accomplished rock thrower and have a +1 racial bonus on attack rolls with thrown rocks. You can hurl rocks up to two categories smaller than your own size. The range increment for a rock is 20 feet, and you can hurl it up to 5 range increments. Damage for a hurled rock is 2d4 for a Medium creature or 2d3 for a Small creature, plus 1-1/2 your Strength bonus.

Pick up the rock. As long as you are within reason, I don't foresee a GM begrudging you a few rocks in your inventory.
I have a rock-thrower and this is how I've always done it. And sometimes during travel or boxed-text, I say that I pick up a couple of nice chuckin' rocks and put them in my pocket, just to establish that it's something my character does regularly and thus should always have a rock or two when needed.

Isn't that how sling stone, separate from bullets, work? The CRB mentions that you can fire them from a sling but no price or other info so I always just assumed they can be found loose on the ground for free. Size tiny stones would be more limiting in how many you could carry but beyond that I wouldn't think you'd generally have any trouble with a GM allowing you to have them.

Remember that the rock is not sized a tiny-sized creature. It is sized as a tiny-sized weapon.
A medium weapon-sized rock sized for a medium creature would be one that can be grabbed by one hand, about the size of a baseball. Now halve that size, and haves again for a tiny weapon -sized rock. It would be the size of a skipping stone.
If it was a tiny creature-sized rock, it would be the size of a house cat or chicken.
If you can remember the difference between the two, then you can know that you can carry a whole pouch of them with no worry.
As for the damage, it is an extraordinary ability, so 2d4 doesn't really mean anything.
Edit: Refer to this thread for concerns about size, proficiency, etc.
