    Thank you for the page references! And I too have had to push wheelchairs in inclement weather! It is a challenge - and also some of my favorite work I've ever done!

      Obviously helping out wheelchair-bound people as part of your job is rewarding, but getting up and down those hills in the snow to reach that one part of the building that is wheelchair accessible. . .

    The Dusty Rose Prism is not from the Core Rulebook. It is from the Pathfinder society guide (pg. 120).
    One quirk of this, though, is that all pathfinders have access to the aeon stones from that book (including the dusty rose and the pearly white spindle, which heals you 1 hp/minute and makes getting to 100% hp a lot easier). And since all Organized play characters are pathfinders, these show up everywhere in PFS.

    To clarify, there is normally no item level limit on starting treasure, nor is there a suggestion to enforce one. The lump sum option at higher levels, however, does have a manditory item level limit of character level -1.

    • @PsiPrimeProductions1
      @PsiPrimeProductions1  9 місяців тому +1

      Sometimes. Pathfinder society limits you to item level equal to character level. But I mostly stuck to low level items because anything higher costs more than a level 1 character could afford.

    Traveler’s cloaks can be made to protect against either hot or cold weather (I.e. there are two versions). They are uncommon, so you need permission, but it makes sense if you are in or near an appropriate environment.
    So there you go, a hot-weather version of winter clothes.

    worth mentioning that armored skirts can also be used on a character with heavy armor proficiency who, for flavor or mobility reasons, wants to lean into dex, to make a suit of half plate into a +4/2 suit of heavy armor that only requires a +2 str to wear. perfect for that warpriest of cayden cailean who wants to lean into finesse weapons. and while i'm here, could we get a talisman review? i would love to know which ones you think are worth the investment

    This wheelchair is tailored for frequent adventures and travels. The design is sleek and fashionable to provide excellent comfort and support. A traveler's chair has small mechanisms, either made from interlocking wood pieces, clockwork, or other devices, that allow the chair to traverse up or down stairs without any additional difficulty (moving up stairs is still difficult terrain, just like for other characters), and move through other common adventuring terrain without any additional difficulty, such as ladders and uneven ground. ( This is straight from Archives ) so unless they left some of the description out, not sure about the difficult terrain normally part.

    Content like this is fantastic given how difficult it is to parse through the thousands of items in the game.

Content like this is greatly appreciated and I'll definitely tune in if you do higher level versions!

    Another underrated item: Scroll Robes. Inscribe one magic scroll to this robe and use it whenever you want. You need one free hand but don't have to draw it like a scroll. Since you can use scrolls with spells of a higher rank than you are normally able to cast, this combines to an powerful emergency area heal i. e.. Also, since it has a dex cap, you can attach runes to it, although it is no armor.

      If you could find a way to reliably get cantrip decks, I suppose it could! I actually have a completely different Luz build that requires a bit of reflavoring, but I think it works. I can't post it yet, but I do intend to in the next couple of months. Too bad my last Eda the Owl Lady build didn't do well.

  • @matthaddix900
    @matthaddix900 Рік тому +5

    The swim fins do nothing as written, because your swim speed is based on your land speed...so when you take a -10 penalty to your land speed, that means you take a -5 penalty to your swim speed.. which is then counteracted by the swim fins. So as written, they have no net effect on your swim speed. Obviously that's not the intended rule so it requires some common sense interpretation by the GM.

    • @PsiPrimeProductions1
      @PsiPrimeProductions1  Рік тому +2

      Even more technically technically, there is a chart that shows how fast you swim based on your land speed. Reducing your land speed by 10 feet for, say a standard human (base speed 25) nets you the ability to move 5 feet on a successful swim check (or 10 on a crit success). If you add 5 to the move for swimming (due to the swim fins) then you are back to where you started EXCEPT you now move 5 feet on a fail/crit fail, so they still work . . . kinda sorta . . . even if your GM is being a pain about the rules.
