3.5 items on Chronicles that don't exist in Pathfinder

[Ring_of_Gyges]

Season 0 was written before the core rulebook came out, uses the 3.5 rules, and sometimes items show up on chronicle sheets that were unique to 3.5.

If a chronicle lists "Gloves of Dexterity +2" or a "Periapt of Wisdom +2" for 4,000gp can I buy them? Yes, because it is on the chronicle sheet? No, because you have to go to a non-Pathfinder rulebook for the rules?

It's a corner case, all the other seasons use the Pathfinder rules, and 95% of the season 0 items from 3.5 carried over (I don't know of any that didn't except the stat boosting items). Is there a ruling though?

This should be addressed in the Guide. Was that language removed in the most recent printing?

Joshua Frost (then Campaign Coordinator) made the ruling long ago.

If the chronicle sheet on a Season 0 scenario offers items that don't exist anymore, cross it out. If it offers an item that's changed, replace it with the new item.

Mark Moreland (then Campaign Developer) and Mike Brock (Campaign Coordinator) both verified the ruling is the case.

Also, John Compton, Campaign Developer also confirms the confirmation

Good to know, thanks.

They cannot be used in PFS. There is no legal rules source that has stats for "Gloves of Dexterity" or similar items. Being allowed to substitute the PFRPG equivalents is very generous of them.

Sure it exists, Belt of Incredible Dexterity.

The only thing that changed is the slot for this item, from gloves to belt. Otherwise it still gives an enhancement bonus to dexterity like normal.

I just double checked my CRB, and I couldn't find "Gloves of Dexterity." I checked the Additional Resources page. No "Gloves of Dexterity." They don't exist in PFS unless you can show me an approved resource.

I'm not being nitpicky or arguing semantics. If you show up to a table with your "Gloves of Dexterity" and the GM has never played 3.5, you won't be able to show him a source for your illegal item that he has no reason to believe actually exists.

the only exception is from later seasons where it calls out on the chronicle that you get the item but can not enhance it.

So the gloves would be replaced with the belt on the chronicle.
