Vigilant Seal

Hey y'all, got an esoteric question for you today:

My wife and I have been playing characters together in PFS. We want our characters to do the Heartbond ritual, as the secondary characters. Now, I understand that availability of uncommon spells is typically locked behind a boon. However, neither of us are looking to be the PRIMARY caster here. All the benefits of the ritual are for the SECONDARY casters. Is it possible/legal for my character to burn a boon on getting the ritual, but have another primary caster officiate for us? I mean, this is a wedding. This is Wedding: The Ritual. We're basically finding someone to be a priest for us. Surely this isn't beyond our characters' ability in Absalom of all places?

As far as I can tell, the rules on PvP are stated here:
https://www.organizedplayfoundation.org/Lorespire/pfs2guide._.Community-Sta ndards-and-Expectations
Specifically, the paragraph under “No Character-versus-Character Combat”, and the phrase, “engaging in non-consensual character-versus-character conflict is prohibited.”
Now here’s where I’m asking for clarification:
Does this ban non damaging rolls made against other players?

The offending player didn’t like the way I was roleplaying. So, instead of asking me out of character to stop or change, she just had her character in game roll intimidation against my character’s will DC to coerce my character. I was so caught off guard that I just let it go, but the event has been grating on me since. Does this count as “engaging in character-versus-character conflict”? And if it does, does her character deserve Infamy points?

TL;DR version: Are there any 2E scenarios right now involving dragons, especially blue?

I'm on a deployment away from my wife, but it's low tempo enough that we're able to play pathfinder once a week to do something connected together. We decided to make a pair of characters that are draconic, and the backstory is essentially "barely escaped hometown with their lives once they learned the secret that it's being run and manipulated by a blue dragon behind the scenes--during escape they got corrupted by blue dragon magic". Something like that. So their motivations for adventuring are pretty much to gather enough strength to come back and free their town and especially family from the evil blue dragon.

Problem of course is that we don't have other friends to play with, so our best bet is society play. Which is good and fun, but makes it a little challenging to factor in our backstories.

So what I'm trying to do is get ahead of the curve a little bit: is there any scenario that involves slaying a dragon? Preferably a blue dragon? We can retcon our characters if needbe in the event there's only different colored dragons.

I was browsing the PFS adventures, and could only find scenarios up to level 10. Are there any beyond level 10? And if not, why?


I'm trying to figure out how experience points are granted in this game. All I could find is table 4 in the 2e bestiary. But if I'm reading that correctly, it means that an encounter with a challenge rating equal to the party only grants 40xp to each player character. If THAT'S true...say you play once a week. You'd need six or seven encounters every night to gain ONE level...per month. Maybe this is what Paizo intended, but this definitely doesn't sound correct to me. Am I missing something?
