The three-part First Steps series is intended to introduce new players and new characters from experienced players to the Pathfinder Society, the city of Absalom, and the 10 factions to which all members of the Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign can belong. While each adventure in the series is a self-contained story, the series is intended to be played in order by brand new PCs without any experience or prestige. At the end of this scenario, after the PCs have met and done a favor for all 10 faction heads, they can choose their PCs' faction; the prestige PCs have earned in all three scenarios is then applied to thier faction.
This series may only be played at the normal advancement rate of 3 xp per level, meaning PCs who complete the series will advance to 2nd level, making them better prepared for tiered adventuring in normal Pathfinder Society play.
