#3-20-#3-21 The Rats of Round Mountain no spoilers general question

If a new player plays both mods in a row with a pregen, are they allowed to apply 2 XP to the new character? Or do both Chronicles go to TWO brand new characters?

Thanks

[Michael Brock]

Currently it goes to two different characters.

Thanks Mike for the quick response!

Actually with his post in another thread, unless he's confused me I think he may have that backwards. I'll let Mike correct if so.

[godsDMit]

Agreed. I'm really hoping he was just having an off moment, as that is not how I had understood it either.

[Dan Luckett]

Glad I'm not the only one confused. :P

Dan, did you mean me? :)

What Mike stated id not fully incorrect.

The Player who played part 1 and 2 of a 7-11 tier scenario if he wanted the credit right away would have to put it towards 2 separate brand new PCs.

Or he could Hold of the second part chronicle until that PC that got part 1 credit reaches level 7 and add the credit then.

Spoiler:

Also loosing out of any benefits for playing them consecutively either case.

This. Sorry for the confusion. You can assign the Chronicles to two brand new characters. Or, You could play with two separate pre-gens and hold the credit until a normal character reached 7th level and award both to that character. That's what I get for posting right after my workout..... Thanks for clarifying Dragnmoon.

But this is not the case for stuff like the First Steps set, right? Or would a new player who plays through all three with a pregen have 3 1st level characters with 1 exp each at the end, opposed to a single 2nd level PC?

[Michael Brock]

I would prefer a player have his own character. But, I also understand if at a convention, a pregen is used for a full day to play through First Steps, that he doesn't have time to create a new character until the end of the day.

We will address this in Guide 4.2.

Seth/Mike - I thought the rule was different for the 1st level pregens. After the 1st part of First Steps the player could change the name of the pregen to say Fred and use it for the other parts. Then they would have a 2nd level character at the end of all the parts of First Steps?

The Rats of Round Mountain is different because its as I understand it, a consecutive 2 part module for levels 7-11 that's supposed to be played back to back. My understand of the rules for pregens is that only a 1st level pre-gen can be "tweaked" into a new character.

I was just asking cause at a convention my friend and I are attending it looks like we might play Rats of Round Mountain and he's new to PFS. First Steps is scheduled but I was hoping we could play together and I don't feel like making a new PC. I have nine :)

Those are the old Pregen rules... You my friend need to read the guide again, Things have changed, and not just with Pregens.
