Whispers of the Pillar


Pathfinder Society


So looking over Pathfinder Society stuff to tie into a Home Game involving Tar-Baphon, and I find 10-98 Siege Of Gallow-spire, in particular, the fallowing.

Whispers of the Pillar:
Whispers of the Pillar You have interfaced with the Whispering Tyrant’s Pillar, which contains much of his accumulated arcane knowledge. In quiet moments, the pillar whispers in the corners of your mind, sharing arcane knowledge. For now, at least, you do not seem to have suffered any ill effects from this connection to the Whispering Tyrant’s power. Choose one of the following benefits, crossing the others off your Chronicle sheet.
-Spell Access: A dizzying array of spells flashed through your mind. If you are a spontaneous spellcaster, you can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet to retrain as many of your spells known as you wish at no cost into appropriate spells of any school except abjuration and divination. You cannot retrain spells granted by specific class features, such as sorcerer bloodlines or oracle mysteries. If you use a spellbook, from now on, you can learn any spell by simply scribing it to your spellbook, without needing to find or pay an NPC to learn the spell. If you are a witch, the messages of your patron interfere somewhat with these whispers, but you can still find new spells of schools other than abjuration and divination for half cost.
-Spell Knowledge: Spellcraft becomes a class skill for you, and you gain a +2 insight bonus on all Spellcraft checks.

Now the question I have is, as thus, has there been any official say on the long term effects of the above, and if not, what is the unofficial consequences that all my fellow GMs have no doubt cooked up? Heck, I will take theories if you got any.

No PFS1 material has been published after 10-98.

Doesn't the final PF1 AP follow after this? Tyrant's Grasp.

I figured as much. What then would you as a GM rule?

Tyrant's Grasp happens before 10-98 Siege Of Gallow-spire. This Society Scenario is a direct result of the events in that adventure path.


Any of my fellow GMs come up with their own home answer?


Nothing? No ideas, no suggestions?

Considering that the impact is on a 1e character and there is no new 1e content, you could home rule whatever effect you think is appropriate.

The 1e character slow growing mad and become a ghast at something?

At this point I was hopping for anything that others might have used in their home game.

I like that idea.
