[Official] Pathfinder Society Boon Request Thread

[Rheinguard]

An ACP Boon for the Tamchal Chakram would be awesome. I really think this is an awesome and unique weapon a Pathfinder could use.

I'd like to see a boon to get access to Stolen Fate things. Mainly for me it would be the Harrowing Ritual. I think it could be a cool thing to try in regular gameplay, especially with the Fortune Teller background and the really nice new Harrow deck that's out.

I take it this means I can't use the Harrow Deck I paid $40 for if I only play in Society? I've built this witch completely around being a harrower. If this is true, why can I buy a boon that allows me to add the deck to my character sheet (Amateur Collector), but then I can't use it in play? Or is this post outdated, and it's now legal? I hope.

The Tien Xia was not an option when using the World Traveler boon, even though the character creation FAQ has katanas, etc. as an uncommon weapon for certain regions.
I would like to see this reviewed again as the Tien Xia World Guide and other guides are nearing release and the lodges in the Tien Xia region of Pathfinder are expanding.

I would like an Avid Collector or something similar so that my rogue could gain access to the wrist launcher. It is a silly little weapon, that does silly little things, but it so fits with my hidden weapons rogue that I am just tickled by the idea. I'm already going to purchase the Secondary Initiation to become one of the Firebrands, so it would be nice to have that piece of equipment.

Wrist Launcher already has access condition:

Access Second-mark members of the Firebrands have access to this item.

so you don't need a second boon to gain access to it - secondary initiation is enough.

Oh! That makes it a lot easier.... Even though the wrist launcher is an uncommon weapon I just need the secondary initiation? Awesome!

Three words, "chetamog animal companions". :)

It seems like the nightstick is not included as one of the uncommon items available from the "Avid Collector - Agents of Edgewatch" boon, so I'd love to see it added to the list if possible.

Several items were deliberately excluded from the Edgewatch boon because they are fantasy analogues of real-world militarized police equipment. We felt that Pathfinders could do without fantasy billy clubs and pepper spray and maintain that position.

[Eruvadhril]

Good to know, and very understandable.

Hello.

I have been going over the possiblilities that have come about since I first made Lemtwist Bratham Mallentwine Flannelfoot Smyth Olgen Jeeb Nather Bingham (Sr) (my 2001 for PF2) and come across the Chronoskimmer.

Since this Archtype actually parallels what Mr Bingham has done sine LBMFSOJNB The Third has told everyone about it in his own carreer, and added Venture Captain to the beginning of his name, I was hoping to get a boon to use this archtype.

Seems it is, as of yet, unavailable, even though it has the standard availability (needing a boon since it is a Rare Archetype). Any chance this boon is going to be avialable before the time I have to do the Remaster rebuild, another boon that is absent from the boon lists.

I also realize that I would need a boon that isn't available for the Time Traveler background as well.

Alas, I may just have to be satified with Time Mage archtype for now.

There is a boon for Time Traveler. Search for it under Chronicle boons, then find an opportunity to play that scenario.

[Agonarchy]

Touched upon in earlier discussion of vanity boats, there is quite a bit of room for vehicle-related boons, especially in conjunction with a hireling with Driving Lore or Piloting Lore. While vehicles are a liability in many adventures, a vehicle boon could allow for a minor benefit reflecting the storage space, easier travel, opportunity to hock wares, better space for books and labs, medical facilities, etc.

[Squark]

With people being granted Access to all Player Core 2 Ancestries, can people who purchased Ancestral Adoption 1 have it refunded or converted to a new benefit? Or will such a boon still be necessary to take Adopted Ancestry (Hobgoblin/Lizardfolk)?

This is a great question; remind me in the Remaster Guidelines thread after Gen Con and we'll discuss it, as we hadn't considered it yet.

[Violet_Jade]

It would be nice if there were a "Friends From" boon for Rage of Elements, like the ones for Book of the Dead, Age of Ashes, and Howl of the Wild. I'd love to be able to take an elemental as an animal companion on a Ranger without needing to take the Druid archetype purely for access.

[Hilary Moon Murphy]

With the advent of a Size Small Pahtra / Catfolk heritage in Starfinder, I have been hoping to have size Small Catfolk on Golarian. Indeed, I would love to see a Size Small boon for Medium races in Pathfinder. I adore small characters, and would love a boon heritage that would allow me to play a small Kitsune, Tengu, Android, Catfolk or Iruxi.

Hmm

[PMSchulz]

I would like to advocate for a boon to take Werecreature Dedication. Even though I made him as a skinwalker in 1E, and never got to play him, I think the Society would benefit from having a weretiger fighter who hates mornings as a member. This would also tie in with my request for character import from PF1 for characters under a certain level (4th or so) in order to get some of those unused GM characters played.

[Squark]

This is a touch premature, but previews of the Tian Xia Character Guide have revealed that the Ancestries within sometimes are mentioned as being of common rarity in specific regions of Tian Xia. Will this be reflected in Pathfinder the way characters from specific regions have access to uncommon weapons?

[DoubleGold]

Size Change +/- 1
Can we get a boon that simply ups or lowers our ancestry size by one step that says you can't be any smaller than tiny or any larger than Large? Like hey a cool idea that hey maybe you're the tallest human in the world (Robert Wadlow a real life human can maybe be classified as Large Sized In Pathfinder 2e), or a spell was cast on you, you drank a potion that was permanent. Or you are short for your height, The Poppet created was a 6 foot tall bronze statue. whatever the reason, while majority of those species are Medium, you are Small, Small to Tiny. Tiny to Small Small to Medium, or Medium to Large. This may or may not affect Race HP, but honestly just spending a little bit of ACP to change your size would be cool.

Edit: I just realized this might be almost exactly like Hilary Moon Murphy's idea if that is where she was going with it.

[Hilary Moon Murphy]

I like the idea of the boon going both ways, Doublegold.

[Candlejake]

Jalmeray Heavenseeker Dedication was declared as legal in lost Omens impossible lands (the lost omens version, not the AP version). There is still no Boon to actually get the archetype though, as its uncommon. So its legal but cannot be picked.

Could you elaborate which part is no longer true? I still dont see a boon for it.

Seeing as this is literally one of the most requested boons in this thread in this sub-forum, can you point the mob to the long awaited way to actually get access to this archetype?

Or at least lower the price of beastkin. I never understood why they're Rare despite untamed druids and barbarians being incredibly commonplace.

[umopapisdnupsidedown]

It just occurred to me that Hireling Translators cannot get regional languages, because they are uncommon and apparently Hireling Translator only allows common languages. Since Pathfinders have access to regional languages anyway, I'd like to request a boon update to include "common or regional" languages. Seems a bit weird (and perhaps not intended?) that I can hire a translator for Dwarven but not for Varisian or Hallit.

[Hugo Nibblenephim]

Tomb Born background from Book of the Dead. It's rare, so we need a Boon to access it.

That exists as a chronicle boon.

Hello,

I would like to be able to play as a Jinx halfling, something currently not possible because it is an uncommon option with no access condition

And since were talking shorties, a boon to make it so my pony doesnt become a full blown horse when I take the mount advancement feats would be much appreciated.

This is a boon from scenario 5-08 'Mayor's Luck' that lets you pick this heritage.

[Squark]

Could we get a boon or ruling to allow monks to take the Kaiju Stance feat, which requires the PC to have survived a Kaiju encounter?

Hello. I would like to request a boon for the riding drake animal companion. Thank you.

Can a character with the Red Redemption boon take Secondary Initiation (The Vernai) to gain access to the Vernai's Ire action of their Mask of the Mantis?

Red Redemption:

Quote:

Red Redemption (Slotless Boon): Maybe you lost faith when you watched your god slay another. Maybe you’ve gone deep undercover in the enemy camp. Whatever the reason, you’re one of the only people in the world to hold membership in both the Red Mantis Assassins and the Pathfinder Society. Choose one of your characters. That character has access to the Red Mantis Assassin archetype (Prey for Death 108) and all common or uncommon options which require membership in the Red Mantis Assassins.

Vernai's Ire:

Quote:

Activate—Vernai’s Ire (concentrate); Requirement You are a member of the Vernai; Effect You cause the mask of the mantis’s eyes to shimmer with crimson light, granting yourself a far more harrowing visage. This light creates illumination equivalent to that of a candle. You can use this ability again to extinguish the frightening glow, but as long as Vernai’s Ire remains active, you gain a +1 item bonus to Intimidation

checks.

[Absion Beonaria]

Maybe a cathartic mage boon but restricting it for PFS play to the non emotional focus using emotions?

Both would be great, though.

Is the exemplar class allowed in Pathfinder Society? The boon text I can see says "exemplar multiclass archetype" which to me implies archetype rather than class

You are not the only silly.

Does this mean a new player's first character can be an Exemplar?

(And that only the Multiclass Archetype must be purchased with AcP?)

[Hilary Moon Murphy]

That is exactly what it means.

[Super Zero]

A player's first character could have the archetype, if they wanted. Players start with 80 AcP. And you don't generally have an archetype at character creation anyway.

Absion Beonaria wrote:

There is already a Chronicle Boon for this, from a high-level scenario.

It's not explicitly labeled as such there, for spoiler reasons, but you can probably identify it if you read through enough listings.

My goblin champion is from the Dragonskull Tribe, so though he loved his wolf mount dearly, he just couldn't resist upgrading to an actual dragon!

[rainzax]

There I go saving up like 100 AcP just for Paizo to turn around and grant access for free…

[TriOmegaZero]

Now you got both!

Just keep an eye on that important note on the boon page for the archetype:

Quote:

Can only be purchased once per player.

Emphasis mine.

[Squark]

Ash Oracle is now a common option. Do those who purchased the boon for access when it was only in Blood Lords receive some sort of benefit? Also, it should probably be removed from the boon store to avoid confusion.
