So I have a few minor questions about Oracles and Multiclass characters from Pathfinder. I've been intrigued in Pathfinder since I've been in school, but I've never been able to find a group to play with despite my fascination with characters.
Anyway... Outside of races such as Skinwalkers and Lycanthropes (Which are PFS banned so I won't spend much time talking about them), I've always been interested with the Oracle Class and a few other classes.
A few questions I've had about Oracles are as followed:
1.) Looking at the Lame curse for Oracles, would that be circumnavigated by the Metal mystery "Dance of the Blades" Revelation? Obviously you won't be moving 40 ft. but the ability to go from 20 ft. to 30 ft. seems to be completely counter intuitive of what the "Curse" from Lame is suppose to be.... am I overlooking something?
2.) Additionally with the Lame curse, does being Immune to a condition also mean you are immune from self-inflicting it onto yourself? Example: Rage Fatigue rendered null when you reach Curse level 5 depending on how you Hybrid the Oracle (Level 9 Multiclassed once). I heard one of my friends talking about it, and I wanted to confirm.
3.) Are there plans to add future PFS legal content to current classes? I would very much love there to be more Oracle Curses to work with that are legal. I'd love to play a Merciful Live Oracle with double dipping between Paladin and Cleric healing without multiclassing Palaric over Oracle. Working with the same 10 or so curses becomes stale quickly...
4.) Would it be beneficial for a Bard to Multiclass into Oracle or vise versa? I've envisioned an... interesting character. A Celestial Singer blessed and cursed by her voice. Is there a place to discuss character concept here? I really want to talk more about this character if possible, and find the best way to build them.

This should be in the Rules forum as only one thing here is really PFS specific (question 3 is, but the rest aren't). Anyway:
1) Not overlooking anything. A Lame Metal Oracle with Dance of the Blades moves 30' (assuming a race with a base speed of 30').
2) Immune is immune. A single level dip into Oracle is relatively common for people who want to Rage Cycle (switching in and out of Rage to be able to use 1/Rage powers more frequently).
3) More content is made legal for use in PFS on a regular basis, but PFS doesn't have any control of what content is actually produced for Pathfinder itself. There are currently 15 legal oracle curses.
4) Check the Advice forum for this.

Ah sorry about that... I thought this would fit in general talk manly because its general... I'm not used to a non-forum forum type chat page to be honest, so its hard to find anything anywhere.
Do you know when the next set of Legal Curses will be set? Some of them are interesting, but as previously said, things start getting stale when you are looking at the same 15 curses... Especially when you want to play Double Curse and everything seems bleak flavor wise.
Would asking for a generalized location of a PFS event be here? Or is there a place for that to?
Ganna go explore and try to find the locations you've mentioned... Let's hope this place isn't as confusing as it seems to be after my limited time here.

Additional Resources is updated monthly, but more curses being allowed at this point would involve more being created in Paizo books (whether hard covers or splat books). PFS has no control over that factor, but if a new one comes out, somewhere between a month or two after it may be legalized (it might not).

You can certainly try - in fact Pathfinder Society Grand Lodge subforum would be a decent place. There is also an event finder though it is not complete.
If you can't find anywhere you can also contact your nearest Venture Officer who can be found here., as they probably know of an event near you.

@BigNorseWolf - I'm a Monkey, but neither a Puppy or Baby. I had a previous alias that had to deal with wolves, but still no baby. That being said, made me feel a bit better after today.
@BartonOliver - Do you know what determines if something will be legal and what will be banned?
I will certainly look for a group, it would be nice getting some stress off my chest and to do something other than sit alone in my bedroom with nothing else to do...

Generally speaking, all character options that don't use optional rules that are not PFS legal (like performance combat or item crafting, for example), are not inherently evil (or much likely to be tied to performing evil acts on a regular basis), and don't create too much power imbalance become legal.
The choice whether an option is too powerful is made on a case-by-case basis, which is why it takes a while until a source is added to Additional Resources.Sometimes a character option is made illegal only to be unlocked on a later chronicle, either because it's cool enough to have a reward feel to it, or because it would need some in-character-lore role-playing-wise.

Also keep in mind that there's the option of playing online if you can't find any games nearby.
There are a lot of games offered on Roll20. Another virtual tabletop I can recommend is Fantasy Grounds.| TheMonkeyFish |
@Casual Viking - I suppose that is a valid point.
@Andreas Foster - So I guess that means nothing for Tabletop Game for Steam? Also, how do you quote stuff?
Also - Can I be evil in the sense I'm evil for the greater good? An Anti-Paladin that has his heart set for the people, but is vial and unpleasant because of his connection to death magic?

Evil aligment is forbbiden (and Anti-paladins are not legal for play). Sorry but you can´t be evil in any sense.
About quiting, you can use the reply butto or you con go with;
]quote=Someone said[Quoted material here....]/quote[,
but with the brackets in the right order.
Also if you check "how to format your text" when you post you´ll see several options to quote, italics, etc.
