Right now you can wear a shirt or have the Character Folio. I know someone who still keeps his Folio in its wrapping just for reroll use.
The Folio is cool for someone who covets a single character so much that they want to document a character to the nth degree. That's awesome. But it would be nicer if such a publication had broader usability and encourage its use a bit more. For instance, they could have made it erasable.
Regardless, is there a chance that Paizo might make some other item in the near future a reroll allowable item? I think something like the Field Guide (although since it was required at one time I understand why that wouldn't be used) would be cool. It would be something that Paizo could encourage players to buy and use but is not required for the game.

How about a "Shower re-roll" -
I'm tempted to tell players at my table on the 3rd and 4th day of a CON that I'll let them take a re-roll if they've had a shower (and put on clean clothing!) in the last 6 hours.
I'm sure someone will object that it's against the rules... but hay! it's a good idea. Oh! and maybe had a breath mint too.

I'm tired of these elitists lording their tyrannical hygiene standards over me! You act like not taking showers or brushing teeth is badwrongfun. What's the sense in showering when you're just going to have to do it again next week? Besides, it takes away from my other pastimes of picking my scabs and checking my bellybutton lint. /rant

Do we seriously need more re-rolls? It seems every time I run a game lately there is a class or archetype that makes me re-roll, allow's them to re-roll or maybe its some goblin stuffed animal that makes dice irrelevant?
Re-rolls are never used to be a Hero. You know, to re-roll the critical confirmation that might end a boss. No they are only used to avoid death or some nasty disease.
I get it, nobody likes to die... but this is a game, and the less chance of death the less exciting it is. If all anyone is interested in is character building theory than we can all just make cool character concepts and have a few round tables. Sure this is my own opinion but if my vote counted (which I have no exception that it actually does) I don't think there is any reason to add more fluff to the system.
With all the OP builds (which I surely enjoy) and exercises in awesomeness on god like scales we got to leave the remote (so remote) possibility of character death. It's so unlikely now as it is, let the dice gods have some power over fate!
Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
Let the chaos ensue,

The bags would be a nice option. They serve the same function as the shirt (advertisement) , don't have the problem with being designed by midgets that the shirts do, and are something I might actually use (unlike the folio)
I don't have plans to use the folio, so spending money to get the pdf for a reroll just feels a little.. unclean

Yes, that's exactly how I feel. As far as there are "too many rerolls"...well, just about everyone at every table I sit at has a shirt or folio, but not me. I wouldn't mind purchasing something that I could use and take advantage of the single session reroll like everyone else.

LOL! yeah, that's what I figured, but it still sounds... eeewww!

I think the bags should give them as well. The guide specifically calls out a physical copy of the folio, not a PDF, as granting a reroll.

Other suggestions:
• An anvil with the Pathfinder Society logo on it proudly displayed on the table.
• If you are using "Uncle Guaril's Pampered Pompadour" brand pomade.
• If you have a permanent face tattoo of any of the faction logos (excluding Shadow and Lantern Lodge of course).
• if you are wearing an official PFS branded tricorn hat modeled after Major Maldris' Eagle Knight uniform hat.
• If you wear a homemade Decemvirate Mask through the entire game.

"Sorry, you said you rolled a 2 again? No, that misses. Next!"
For awhile during our regular game days, I gave out an additional reroll, that could be used in the same scenario as a shirt of folio reroll, to anyone at my table who had the most recent issue of the Pathfinder comic.

I regularly play with a Judge who hands each player who does not have a Folio or Faction Shirt a Folio (still sealed) for the game. He does this before the game starts. (players give them back at the end of the game, after day job rolls...)
Basicly everyone can use one re-roll a game in his games.
It seems to work out fine.

I'm old enough in this game to remember a line kind of like this...
"Do we seriously need a saving roll? what is this? The dragon breaths and you take damage! it's what having hit point represents!"I hope you too can see the humor in this post...

Well, Keht, if that's your opinion, feel free to not have a reroll so you can feel smugly superior and more hardcore while you point and chuckle at all of us bads, noobs, and scrubs who get babied all the way up the level ladder while having a bunch of badwrongfun. /endsarcasticrant

If you take out the 'permanent' clause, or the 'on your face' clause, I could get behind the second. I made one of the first but it had arcane sigils instead of the PFS logo. I also have the third.

Hopefully you won't insist on witnessing said shower.... ;)

I've never thought about it like that, but now that you've mentioned it, I think we should do away with saving throws also. The dragon breaths and you take damage! What else is there!
