My theory is that the reason the infected go into convulsions is because anger disrupts their ability to communicate.

They stay in constant communication via sending out radio signals on the frequency that Manousos discovered. That's their telepathic, or telempathic, connection with each other.

Emotions like anger or hate that trigger a "fight or flight" type of response somehow disrupt their brains' ability to send/receive the radio signal. The virus sends a panic response to the body when it registers that the radio signal is disrupted from any individual brain. Because all of infected are connected all of them get the same panic response and go into convulsions.

I think that if you were to put an infected person into a Faraday cage, the same convulsions would happen.

Disrupting their communication for a long enough time might be the key to freeing people from the hive-mind.

I found a lot of chemical bottles in a garage I inherited from a relative. They look like a variety of car care, lawn care, pesticides, cleaning products, etc. Some of them are 20+ years old or older.

How do I safely and easily get rid of them?

I mean out-of-print book.

I legally bought a PDF for a PF 1e book but I want a physical copy. The physical version is out of print (I checked Pathfinder Infinite and DriveThruRPG). Is there a place I can have it printed and bound into an actual book without violating a copyright, provided I don't ever share my purchased PDF with anyone?

I was unhappy with the Core Rulebook starting funds for characters. It seemed that rolling for funds seemed unfair.

I created these house rules to hopefully be more reasonable and fair. Martial classes can start with good non-magical armor and other classes can get some nice starting items.

What do you think? Any suggestions?

Starting Equipment

• Ignore the starting funds for classes.  All characters get the following:
  • The “kit” for their class (such as “wizard’s kit” or “swashbuckler’s kit”).  These typically include a backpack, torches, rations, a bedroll, and some items for a specific class.  
  • Any set of clothing worth 50 gp or less.
  • Select four options, in any combination, from the list below.  All starting items will be normal quality and made from standard materials.  You (or your creature if choosing barding) must be proficient in any weapon, armor, or shield.  You must have the spell on your class spell list if selecting a scroll.  These items can never be sold, but can be given away to PCs or NPCs in-game.  Range weapons come with a standard amount of ammunition (usually 20).
    • armor
    • barding, saddle, tackle, and 5 days of feed
    • melee weapon
    • range weapon
    • shield
    • 1st level scroll (or two 0th-level scrolls)
    • 1st level potion (or two 0th-level potions)
    • Single-use alchemical item
    • A set of tools or a kit such as healer’s kit, disguise kit, artisan’s tools, or thieves tools that cost 50 gp or less.  
    • 25 gp in coins or other items
  • If starting at a higher level, get these items and then apply the standard Wealth By Level to buy additional items.

I know D&D has the official "Heroes Feast" and "Flavors of the Multiverse".

Is there an official, or unofficial, Pathfinder cookbook?

Besides that,

Do you have any Pathfinder-inspired recipes you would like to share?
