I've been scouring the web to find the full text of the chronicle boons available to players and GMs who've gone through the Kingmaker AP and Companion Guide. But I can't find anywhere what character options actually become available when those chronicle boons are purchased. The chronicle sheets themselves just say that you get the boon, and don't list any access options related to the boon. The FAQ similarly doesn't list the full text of boons from most Adventure Paths.
Is there a place where the full boon text from Adventure Path Chronicles can be found? I would like to be sure that I and my players are aware of the types of options that will become available before everyone decides what character(s) to apply credit to. If the text contains spoilers then I'll definitely just want to give a summary of the option types to them instead of the full text. If there's some source that just shows all sanctioned Adventure Path boon text for second edition, that'd probably be even better for myself and other GMs.
Apologies if this is listed in some obvious place, but when I couldn't find the info in the chronicles, on the FAQ, or on the forums, I figured it would be best to ask in case I'm missing something!

Alas Violet Jade,
I cannot find the full text of these boons anywhere either. I believe that Alex is off at a convention this weekend, but he might be willing to reply to an email written to organizedplay@paizo.com. I'd write to him and ask if he can provide the full text of these boons.
Happy Gaming,

You could report the game first without the players, download the boon for yourself, show/explain it to the players, and then edit the reporting to add in the character numbers players want the chronicle sheets to. The lack of full boon text is probably intended to discourage boon hunting.

Thank you for your answer! I started looking into it early enough that it's gonna be a bit before we have a Chronicle for people to think about, so I've got time to wait until he's back to hear from him via that email.

As a matter of policy, we do not publish or share the full text of chronicle boons to avoid boon-hunting and the like. Options such as the Bequeathal boons exist to transfer access to options from one character to another should that be necessary.
(In 95% of cases, you can assume that boons from sanctioned content will give access to some portion of the content published in the backmatter, and you can probably suss out what content a boon gives based on its name. We don't typically write brand-new boons for sanctioned material.)

With as much content that is sanctioned for Adventure Mode, and given that the credit is applied to a character not participating in the Adventure/AP, I'm not sure what the point of the policy is anymore.
Most PFS scenarios don't have boons anymore, and they're more style than power now, so boon hunting isn't that same advantage as it was in PFS 1e, but if the OP kept the policy in regards to PFS scenarios, I could understand that. Adventure and AP boons, not so much.
