Bladebound Magus: Black Blade's purpose?

[Zelda Marie Lupescu]

So, when making a Bladebound magus for PFS, how does one determine the purpose of the weapon? Normally it's up the the GM, but since the GM in PFS varies, does the player get to make the decision or does the blade not have a purpose?

[Imbicatus]

The blades purpose is to Explore, Report, and Cooperate.

[BigNorseWolf]

Players call. It doesn't usually come up anyway since they have such weak egos.

I've heard it both ways.

That is the exchange's version of the pathfinder motto

[Zelda Marie Lupescu]

Haha thanks guys, actually didn't even think about the best 'purpose' would be make it a Pathfinder blade... No GM could find fault with that, I'm sure. :)

Grand lodge:Explore, Report, and Cooperate.

Exchange: extort, cut short and perforate?

Liberties Edge: Exhort, cavort and liberate

Silver Crusade: Implore the court magistrate.

Shadow lodge: make war, extort and retaliate

Sovereign Court: Restore, comport and agglomerate

Osirion: ??

Dark Archives: Get lore, support and fornicate.

I gave mine the secondary success conditions. If we miss the condition, the blade reacts.

What wait was the Shadow Lodge removed? The new book has "Scarab Sages" and not Shadow Lodge... also looks like Osirion was removed?

Shadow lodge has been officially disbanded for 3 years now (but we haven't gone anywhere, shhhh)

Osirion was renamed scarab sages and a new faction head took over the number one spot. Do NOT make her angry. You really, really wouldn't like her when she's angry.

[BigNorseWolf]

Scarab sages: exhume, recruit, deliberate

[Quintin Verassi]

Does annoy other high star GMs count as a purpose? That's all my Blade seems to do...

[Kazmarok]

Kazmarok Starforger here! I forged me own axe Dum-Muzaz from the metals of a fallen star. He tells me he is here to strike at the demonic horrors that keep comin' through the Worldwound. While I'm more of a historical bent meself, I keep him happy in me quest to explore the Sky Citadels because the latest one is near the Wound itself, which means I have to strike down me fair share and more of demons.

[Aetherys Dawnblade]

"My name is Aetherys, and I am the proud bearer of the Dawnblade, who was sent by Sarenrae in order to remove corruption throughout the world and heal it once our task is done. I am truly humbled that the goddess chose me for that holy quest, and I strive to be worthy of that honor."

At least the sword believes it was sent on that holy quest!

[Akasha Tezora]

"Hmph. The blade Sarvok is nothing less than my very soul. He is my rage, and he cries out for vengeance against a tainted world."

Sarvok is perhaps a bad influence on my seeker magus, but his thirst for violence against evildoers soothes the dark urges she wrestles with as a tiefling, and remains her only true friend (which suits her just fine).

Just out of curiosity, why is Dawnblade darker than the blackest night? Shouldn't a weapon of the Dawnflower share Her divine radiance?

The archetype doesn't give you much choice, now does it? Heh.
