I was rereading Armor Masters Handbook (weighing the Tower Shield feats vs Tower Shield Specialist, which this PC is) when I notice something ironic about Spell scribed Armor.
It's illegal in PFS play, which I thought was a shame given tattooed spells is legal, but according to the book it was a Society member that rediscovered the lost art!
Ironic yes? ;)

They should have an addendum to the Additional Resources that states that any feature described as invented or commonly used by the Pathfinder Society should be legal for organized play.
Rereading the section, I think they should have limited the slots for each armor to something than armor bonus
I mean a war priest with an Armor of +8 armor bonus (or higher) rocking aces to 8 Spell levels of 'scrolls' is a bit much. Tattooed spells have a restriction to slot and reasonable access (you can't read the tat on your back slot...)
the 8 spell levels never seemed that bad to me. at most ur looking at 8 1st lvl spells on the full plate armor. i think the biggest issue is the crafting rules that apply.

No more impactful than buying a scroll or spell tattoo I'd say. We are allowed to figure base cost for buying scrolls, potions, spell tattoos and wands..
I think it's the potential to 'load out' your armor that got the ban
Quote: Ironic yes? ;) Kind of, but not really. There are also likely in-universe Pathfinder Society members who can craft magic items, but no Player Character can. That's all the PFS-legal thing means - whether or not a PC can have the option, not whether or not it exists at all in the setting.
I still don't get why the ban, if you're worried about players doubling up make it an either or..tattooed or spellscribe but not both.
Cause I got armored casters who aren't into ink...

To complete the flavor of the ban, they really need to mention putting a price on the head of the Pathfinder society member who created it. ;)

Better yet, dead in a ditch NEXT to Osprey's corpse.

While being Osprey's peer, friend, ally, contact and/or lover is a recipe for a bad life (and the aforementioned final end in the ditch) the guy himself seems to be thriving...
