If a character finds an item that has no value (in Gold) like an aspis badge, greycloak cloak, some trinket or bobble, can they have it for flavor in future adventures? As a GM can I write it on a chronicle sheet?

I haven't had good experiences with this notion and would in all seriousness like it covered officially, perhaps as:

Aspis bronze badge

Masterwork tool gives +2 circumstance bonus to Bluff or Disguise checks to impersonate a member of the Aspis Consortium

50 gp

If a player does not have this expenditure noted on a chronicle, NPCs do not recognise the item when presented and it has no game effect whatsoever.

Aspis silver and gold badges captured in PFS missions must be handed in to the Society and are not returned.

As for a grey cloak, the PC can certainly get a traveller's outfit.

Officially a player can't get anything that's not on the chronicle sheet. You could write it on a character sheet, but it wouldn't give the player any rights to lay claim to anything, but a future GM could decide to allow it (if you are this future GM, the chances it will be allowed probably greatly increase).

Locally we have a character that walks around with a jar with holes in the cover. Inside is a stone frog. She claims it is a baleful polymorphed and petrified black dragon.

Sure.

I have a character with cayden caileans lost loincloth, and some others have gotten Krenshar hoods (the head pops up automatically) as long as there's no in game effect you're fine.

Absolutely you can. And sometimes, with some GMs, you may even get a minor circumstance bonus on some check (you should NEVER expect such, but some GMs like to reward this level of focus when appropriate).

1 person marked this as a favorite.

When time permits and I am inspired, I like to add little notes to the chronicle to highlight some memorable thing the character did during the adventure. Most of the time, they're not physical items. For example, "Saved the Blakros Museum with a cantrip." Or "Was enlarged, enraged, green, prone, sticky, and on fire," a combination of conditions the party barbarian had racked up at the start of his turn in an encounter.

So, in one scenario, the party kills a cheetah. The fighter says, "Can I make a loin cloth from the skin?" I'm too busy giggling about the notion to ask for a craft roll, which the players take for ascent. Then the paladin asks, "Ooh, is there enough left over to make me a bikini?" At chronicle writing time, I add the following to their chronicles, "Has a cheetah skin loin cloth/bikini. No game effect."

The next week, I'm running another scenario with the same paladin and one of the baddies has a panther companion. Sure enough, the paladin has a panther skin bikini added to her chronicle. She's now shopping for scenarios with leopards, tigers, and zebras.
