I waited a bit as things got settled in after GenCon and the feedback on the guide as this isn't directly on the guide, but you used to be able to use the metal sidheron made by the same company that makes the pathfinder pins as a reroll in the past - but when it went over to the website it has not appeared there.

Was this purposely removed or was it overlooked?

If it was purposely removed is there a reason why?

It's not listed in the Season 7 Guide. On the product page, people have asked twice about rerolls without a PFS team answer. Do you have a source for its qualifying for rerolls before?

There was an initial guffaw where Paizo Customer Service incorrectly stated they were good for a reroll.

It was a mistake, they are not good for a reroll and never have been.

If we are attempting things like the t-shirts and the rest to gather interest or market the group. This is made by a company with ties to paizo where we already have benefits from their products. I don't see why we couldn't add this back into the list.

I've had more conversations and interest from people interested in what the sidheron is from outside of pathfinder and willingness to give it a try than I've had from a foilo or t-shirt.

Would it be possible to consider adding it then? Not all of us are comfortable wearing t-shirts. Most people just carry the foilo and never write in it (using it as rules reference).

Technically speaking, the sihedron was never approved for re-rolls, though I can certainly understand your interest in having it added. The creation of the new approved re-roll reference list should reduce/eliminate the occurrences of people using unapproved items for re-rolls.

I was about to say... I only wear mine when I play worshippers of Lisalla....

Instead of a reroll, I'd like to see it allow one bonus, but with some other penalty.

That or to force a reroll or penalty on the GM.

Force a GM reroll and you have to roll twice and take the lowest on your next d20? Unless your character worships Lissala or is a Thassalonian wizard archtype of course. :-)

My recollection is that the medallion was good for a re-roll, but I don't remember coming across that in past Guides and might be misremembering. I'll bring it up with the others and see if that's something for us to revisit.

I'm pretty sure your recollection is at fault. I bought one of these for my wife as soon as they were released; if it had ever been declared to be a reroll-eligible item it would have removed the necessity for her to remember to have a Character Folio with her if she were going to a game night directly from work (it would not be appropriate for her to wear a reroll-eligible shirt at the office).

Nowadays, of course, you can always claim that it qualifies as a reroll item under the "Pathfinder Society cosplay" clause introduced in season 8.

If I ever do my Seoni cosplay, my Sihedron medallion will be part of it. ^_^

Following further discussion, we've determined that the sihedron medallion does not grant a re-roll; it instead projects a 20-foot-radius aura of envy that affects all who see your gaming bling.

Not to put to ah, fine a point on it, but couldn't it also inspire greed, lust, anger, gluttony, pride, and sloth...?


After the grappling succubus incident Lust was removed from the additional resources for the sihedron.

1 higher than whatever your friends rolled to resist purchasing one for themselves?

To be clear, the envy aura is entirely a reference to how cool these look in person, not to any in-game effect.

Hhhhhmmm... that sounds suspiciously like some home games I've been in.

I figured that was a joke; so was my question.

I figured as such, too, was just trying to have fun with it...

Damned internet forums and their inability to convey non-verbal cues!
