Venture-Captain, California—San Francisco Bay Area North & East

I plan to run an adventure path soon, but some of the players (and I) hope to also get PFS credit for the sanctioned portions. I see in the guides that once the non-pfs party goes through a sanctioned portion, I give them a chronicle based on if they had played a published NPC.
For levels 1-7, that's fine. But what happens at higher levels? Are they also credited as the level 7 NPC? What gold to they get (out of tier?) When can they apply the chronicles? (do the 5-7, 8-10, 11-13, 13-15, & 15-17 all hit as soon as the PFS character they are assigned to hits level 7?)

If you're running the whole adventure path as an ongoing campaign, it works almost exactly like GM credit. The bit about published NPCs (or pregens) is a red herring.
If you hand out a chronicle for tier 8-10 say, a player has the following options:
- Apply the chronicle immediately to a PFS PC of level 8-10.
- Assign the chronicle to a PFS PC of a lower level, then apply it immediately as soon as the PC reaches level 8.
- Apply the chronicle immediately to a 1st-level PFS PC, with the gold reward reduced to 1398 gp.
The GM can choose from the first two (the third isn't an option for GMs under the current rules, oddly).
I use 8-10 as an example, but the above rules apply whatever the level range, whether it's 2-4 or 17-19.

The GM can choose from the first two (the third isn't an option for GMs under the current rules, oddly).I believe the intention is for GMs to be able to do the third option as well, it just didnt get noticed to be included in the new version of the Guide til it was too late.
Seth, that may be the intention, but unless it is in the current version of the Guide, the PFS FAQ, or the (currently unstickied) clarification thread I don't think it is technically a legal option.
