I've tried to read through all the forum posts on the Beast Bonded Witch Archetype but I haven't been able find a PFS ruling concerning what constitutes as "Suitable Vessel." Archetype Feature quoted below
Twin Soul (Su): At 10th-level, if the witch or her familiar is gravely injured or about to die, the soul of the dying one immediately transfers to the other’s body. The two souls share the surviving body peaceably, can communicate freely, and both retain their ability to think and reason. The host may allow the guest soul to take over the body temporarily or reclaim it as a move action. They can persist in this state indefinitely, or the guest can return to its own body (if available) by touch, transfer into a suitable vessel (such as a clone), or take over another body as if using magic jar (with no receptacle). This replaces the witch’s major hex at 10th-level.
Assuming I'm level 10 and playing in a PFS scenario -
Situation #1: Let's say my Witch dies and my soul goes to my familiar. What do I have to do to get my body back in shape in order to return to it? Would it just be as simple as taking out a wand of Cure Something Wounds and return it back to a positive life total? Or is it technically an object now and I need a Wand of Make Whole? If I wanted to heal it up to "Full" would it still use my class level life total?
Situation #2: After the first fight of the scenario, would it be possible to fix up the body of a fallen adversary, have my witch jump into that, and then carry the witch's original body in a Bag of Holding? At the end of the scenario I would return to the original body, I'm not interested in trying to ride a corpse across scenarios, nor am I interested in trying to psuedo-magic jar into a living opponent.
Situation #3: At the start of the scenario, my Witch tries to make/procure a suitable vessel. As I understand you aren't allowed to hire a spell caster for higher than a 7th level spell and Clone is an 8th level spell. So what if anything would constitute a suitable vessel in this case?
As a side topic, if my improved familiar dies and inhabits my body, what abilities does it retain? Does the familiar have to be in charge (switching via move action) to use those abilities? Can I still prepare spells if my familiar's soul is in me?
Lastly, can my Witch cast while in its Raven Familiar or while in the form of a Raven? (a la Familiar Form) Edit: Nevermind, reread the polymorph rules
I apologize in advance if this has been answered in a prior post of if I'm overlooking some basic rules questions. I'm not as familiar with PFS rulings as I am with kitchen table GM guidelines.
