Busker Bard Day Job Question (PFS)


Pathfinder Society

Dark Archive 5/5

So, a question was brought to me in relation to the Busker bard archetype:

Flexible Performer (Ex): A busker can attempt Acrobatics, Disguise, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth checks to earn money instead of Perform checks. He can use his Bluff modifier in place of his Diplomacy modifier on Diplomacy checks.

So a busker bard can use Stealth to perform a day job check. Ring of Invisibility makes someone invisible which provides a +20 to +40 bonus on stealth checks for 3 minutes but can be recast indefinitely. Does the bonus from Ring of Invisibility add to a Busker's Day Job Check?

I allowed it at the table because the person in question couldn't possibly get less than a forty even without the ring and I thought by the time anyone could afford a Ring of Invisibility, they probably could already max out this Day Job roll easily anyway.

Has anyone else run into this? Thoughts?

This is a PFS specific question, so flagged to be moved. I believe that only permanent buffs can be used for day job checks, and while the ring can be used to recast the spell indefinitely, it's not a permanent buff. I don't think it would work.

Needs to be a permanent buff or apply to the check with no limit on how long the check can take.

3/5 5/5

The answer is no. Temporary buffs that last less than 24 hours, even if they can be recast repeatedly, do not provide bonuses to day job rolls.

2/5

It'd be similar to allowing guidance to boost day job checks.

1/5

Is Crafter's Fortune legit for PFS? The additional resources page doesn't seem to call it out, but I'd like to know for sure.

Crafter's Fortune is specifically the only non-permanent bonus allowed on Day Job checks.
