If a normal (non-masterwork) non-core armor or weapon appears on a chronicle sheet, are we able to purchase a masterwork version? Similar to how you can purchase a small version of any weapon or armor that appears on a chronicle?

If in Core we can't purchase masterwork versions of non-masterwork armor and weapons placed on chronicle sheets, then please include the masterwork version on the chronicle instead of (or in addition to) the non-masterwork version.

IMO a standard, non-enchantable weapon or suit of armor isn't worth an investment of gold or feats.

In other words, stop teasing the core characters with haramaki and falcatas that we can't enchant! :)

I have a "Fighting Off Corruption" boon that gives my Core sorcerer the Psychic bloodline from Occult Adventures.

The Psychic bloodline gives bonus feats and spells that are also from Occult Adventures.

Does my Core sorcerer gain access to these non-core feats and spells?

Feats: Focused Spell, Intuitive Spell, Logical Spell

Spells: mind thrust I (3rd), id insinuation I (5th), ego whip I (7th), intellect fortress I (9th), psychic crush I (11th), mental barrier V (13th), tower of iron will III (15th), bilocation (17th), microcosm (19th)

If you get a boon on a chronicle from CORE play that opens up a gun-using archetype, e.g. spellslinger, does that make it possible to purchase guns and ammunition for that character?

[Gary Bush]

Yes. You would need to own the resource however.

[Paladin of Baha-who?]

Well of course, you always need to own the resource. Which guns can I buy, then, just the ones in UC?

[andreww]

I am not sure you can buy any. The archetype may give you a starting gun but on its own doesn't open access to anything else. I am not even sure it would let you buy ammunition.

Spellslinger gives you the Gunsmithing feat, and the PFS additions to that feat state that it allows you to buy ammo at crafting prices, so I imagine that'd be enough justification to be able to buy ammo in Core (interestingly, only at the reduced price; ammo would be unavailable to you at full price). You'd certainly be stuck with just the starting gun, though.

Let's not try to rules-lawyer something into being useless.

[Gary Bush]

Agree. You can buy ammo as outlined by the feat.

As to gun, you can't buy any. You only get the free one or two depending on you choice.

*casts thread necromancy*

If a Core wizard has a non-Core spell in their spellbook (obtained legally, either from a chronicle or a looted spellbook), can they buy scrolls or wands of that spell?

This assumes that the non-Core spell didn't come from a scroll, because the PC could buy them as needed.

Offhand I'd lean towards no, because Core wizards are already better off than sorcerers or bards in their spell selection--giving them additional item options seems to be too much.
