Message: <blockquote data-quote="Satin Knights" data-source="post: 5848315" data-attributes="member: 6666968">As to the Streamlined Traits: I am for it because of the nightmare that traits are for PFS.  Normally, I would stick to straight approved books or PFS interpretations.   But, in PFS, not only do the traits come from the APG, but 10 factions having on average 5 choices, 6 racial books, a couple nationality books, 3 Faith books, 7-8 Adventures Paths, etc. Whatever trait combination you need can most likely be achieved if you buy enough books.  PFS does have the "if you use it, you must own the book" rule, so Paizo makes a little extra money off of all these extra 30 page books. We as judges are not going to approve all these extra books.  Approving the traits one at a time from the books when someone wants want looks to be tedious.  So, the Streamlined Traits proposal looks to be a good choice, even though it goes against our purity standard.As to the city limit and commissioning: Yes, it should take time to add new magic to a weapon.  In the case of Songdragon's upgrades, to upgrades of 1,000 each could be done in parallel with only a three day wait.  That is not a problem in PbP.  Borric on the other hand wants to upgrade his +1 weapon to +2.  That means turning the old weapon in and waiting 18 calendar days without a +1 weapon in hand for battle. That is unless he buys another +1 weapon to use while his is "in the shop", and then selling it back.  Since sell back is at 100%, the "rental" wouldn't bite him there.    Not picking on Borric here, he is just the first to hit the wall, well second.  Yoshiki gets to wait 39 days for his new toy.Having the "city lmiit" be just below the cost of a +2 weapon is annoying.  But we need to set is somewhere to slow down the christmas tree effect.  And it makes owning a +1 flaming weapon special.  So, the limit is fine where it is for me.And yes, Anaerion's amulet took seven in-game days to craft.  The binder just delivered it in 2 1/2 hours.  She is high enough level and racially different enough, she can cheat.  That is part of the reason why the elite in town fear her.  She can do the things that they say cannot be done.Settlement size: In essence, we can treat the Mystic Pearl as a settlement of it's own.  Since it has a doorway in every major city, it is actually could be a small, permanent demiplane with many portals, all leading to a different "floor" of the building.  Only the employees are allowed to go through the back room to the stairwell to get to different floors.  That eliminates the "city hopping by going into the Pearl" issue.  We simply need to vote on what "city value" we are going to assign to it.100% sell back: Without it, accounting becomes a nightmare.  Right now, we can count earned monies - items destroyed - paid serices - carried equipent = coins left.  Nine out of ten characters are still off when it comes to review time, including my own.  If we go to 50% sell back, it all becomes a grand nightmare.Craft your own deities: I thought that door was already closed.  Ruvalra was the latest and she went through the submisson/review process.</blockquote>
