Oct 16	comment	What makes grease a good spell? Disarm is an underused tactic but can really help against a wide range of enemies and a party can't have too many ways to help key members get out of grapples - for many low-bab characters being grappled can be extremely deadly (say when there is water nearby for example)

Jan 1	comment	What is the purpose of slow experience gain in Pathfinder Society Organized Play? It is also the case that depending on where you are there may not be a lot of other players in PFS with characters at a given higher level - so you might choose slow advancement to stay at the level of play available near you for longer.
Nov 16	asked	If a multiclass character has two spellcasting classes how many spells do they get?
Nov 15	comment	What is the full list of monsters that can be summoned with the Summon Monster spells? hmm - good to know. Confusing however as the dog, riding is notably better than most of the other level 1 (and even many of the level 2) monster options
Nov 15	comment	What is the full list of monsters that can be summoned with the Summon Monster spells? actually I was using the d20PFSRD website but that's the one that is apparently slightly off - I was told that per discussion board comments the dog, Riding in the Level 1 list is an error - it should just be a basic dog (which is a lot less useful). I hadn't seen the iPhone app, I'll look at that! Thanks!

Oct 19	comment	What is a good starting point for GMing Pathfinder Society Games? just speaking as a player (I haven't yet DMed for the Pathfinder society, still familiarizing myself with the rules) the first two scenarios suggested - Mists of Mwangi and Penumbral Accords have some elements which are pretty brutal and nasty (and in parts risk TPKs) so I don't know if I would suggest either as your first PFS module to DM. I think the current First Steps are far better introductions. Mists of Mwangi in particular has a first encounter which involves an element I personally think shouldn't be in PFS play (and mostly isn't)

Jun 13	comment	How to design an RP-balanced party? Ah - the "build the comment" phrase implied to me that you were asking from the GM's perspective. I think much of my advice still stands but I'll see what I would add/change from a player's perspective - mostly I'd suggest adding exploring roleplaying with your fellow players to your more mechanical solutions (i.e. talking with each other, building up your backgrounds and using that the engage with the world your GM creates etc)
