back in highschool, I was pretty sure they were looking over the dms screen. So at the end of the adventure the wizard gave them a box full of stuff he hadn't identified yet and said pick one.
Left the DMs guide open to the girdle of giant strength and went to the bathroom.
Came back, sure enough. They were fighting over the belt.
The minotaur, of course won the fight for it.
handed the other players the sealed and dated envelope with the list of what everything was, and they were laughing too hard to pass the note. Guy playing the Minotaur gets it last. Laughs...
"YOU )(#$*$ ()*#)($)(*#$...."
Girdle of femininity/masculinity.
Never needed a DM's screen again.
Being competent is a core character concept for both the player and the campaign. If your job is killing stuff so that the archeologists can look at it, you need to be able to kill stuff. To do that, you need the gear. It creates cognative dissonance when your idea for a character is the stalwart defender and champion of the society but all you do is swing at things, miss, and then stand around babbling incoherent because your missed all of your saves.

If memory serves at one point day jobs were not allowed for modules, however, that is no longer the case. If a GM is not allowing dayjobs for a module they might just be a little out of date woth the current day job rules, just let them know that it was changed.
When they update the guide, they need to put in the new rule and spell it out rather than just thinking people will stop following the old rule because its not there anymore. Its far harder to find (and prove) a negative than a direct statement
So, if my animal companion wolverine is getting hammered in melee and needs healing but is some distance from his druid the druid can't cast Cure Light Wounds as a shared spell and the wolverine benefit from it? Unless he's actually touching the animal companion?
That was the old 3.5 share spells.

Flag on the play. Stormwind fallacy/ either or fallacy. Try to make a point without assuming that people are playing the game wrong.
Insulting an item is NOT insulting a person. You? Not somuch.
but to see support of that from a VC is... disappointing.
Or eye opening to exactly how bad the problem is.

It seems like a Faceless Stalker managed to slip through and caught the flight out of Heathrow. Someone found the mangled body of "Andrew the Brit" jammed into a dicebag in the washrooms. It seems likely that it took over his appearance and stole his PaizoCon ticket.
Skip to the important information, will it still DM games?
That leaves plenty of room for other items. The whole 'nobody uses anything but the big 6' spiel is inherently nonsensical. Even if everybody used them... they don't take up a majority of the item slots.
But they still use up your gold. Assuming you have any kind of economy in magic items at all (and since this is the pfs section of the forums, shop s M art, shop magic mart) an item has to be cool and effective enough for its cost to not put the money into the big six instead. It doesn't matter if i have a nose ring an ear ring free if everything in those slots its ridiculously expensive you just don't fill it.
The pins are very cool, but will not be granting a reroll. They're going to try to come up with something else for them to do, so lets crowd source it. And waste time. And make a drinking game out of it.
Obviously the character you're playing is supposed to match the pin.
Silver crusade: +2 to diplomacy checks to end or avoid hostilities. I'm a paladin! of course you can trust me!
Grand lodge: +4 to
Exchange: reroll but only for the dayjob check. Since you never know what fell off the back of the truck, it could be worse than your original roll.
Dark archives: +2 on saving throws vs curses and spells and abilities with the [evil] descriptor. Erm. For reasons other than professional courtesy. really.
Scarab sage: +2 on any one knowledge skill check/session as the fragment of a sage jewel the beetle is holding aids another you.
Sovereign court: +2 on any roll to hide your affiliation. (hey, the character isn't the one wearing the pin)
Liberty's edge: +2 Perform oratory and diplomacy to advocate for FREEEDDDOOOOOM! (freedom with less O's need not apply)

of mithral. Its a fact. There's no argument against it.So it appears it WILL be left up to a GM's opinion of whether the kikko is "mostly made of metal".
That is not a valid opinion. That is the DM making stuff up. This is not a case of table variation, they simply cannot do that in organized play.
It is 25 pounds of iron sewn to cloth, in other words, a boatload of iron. You make that out of mithral, the weight halves the spellfailure drops etc.
I was hoping to have something to show a GM who decided it didn't qualify before I design a PC somewhat around the use of the armor...it will affect how much I invest in dex.
Send them here. Have them make an argument that that's the case. I have NO idea what logic they're using to decide that they have a 25 pound shirt that's not made of metal.

How would you like me to prove anything? They don't say each individual rule, strait out, three times in triplicate.
Kikko armor consists of hexagonal plates made from iron and sewn to cloth. The plates may be hidden by a layer of cloth or left exposed.
So yes, you can make it out of mithral. Its a fact. There's no argument against it.
A creature leaving a square to enter another creatures square IS moving through a threatened square, they're not mutually exclusive events. (just like a wizard walking away from the fighter intent on casting a spell at the end of their movement moves through their own first square and draws the AOO.
So the songbird of doom doing the opposite
is moving through their own square into the fighters.
The difference between them is that the Songbird can't 5 foot step to avoid the aoo. And thats why the WHY of that matters.
If the songbird gets whacked because entering a creatures square is its own provoking event, that goes against the idea that they can tumble in BUT...the bird moving this way should draw 2 AoO's if that the case but he doesn't.
If the songbird gets whacked because he's moving through a threatened square and the 5 foot step exception just doesn't apply, he's getting whacked for moving from a threatened square, the exact sort of thing that tumbling can prevent.
I believe any creature that enters another's square provokes unless it has special rules saying otherwise. Can you give a counter-example?
The question here is WHY its provoking. And there's no clear answer but...
If it was provoking because it was entering a square then a creature moving in SHOULD provoke twice, but it doesn't.
If the creature only provokes once, then it provokes because its leaving a threatened square to enter another square and the only thing the FAQ says is that a 5 foot step won't negate the AoO for leaving a threatened square if you're entering a creatures own space.
Its also entirely possible that there's a way of looking at it that i don't see, or that there isn't any consistency on the issue and some things just do and some things just dont *shrug*
he can be a name on the computer screen for the firsthalf of the season until the big reveal.
