A True Sacrifice

Scarab Sages 2/5

I am very curious on how this would affect PFS as a whole:

Let us say a Monk of the Healing Hand reaches 20th level. As a true hero, he requests to have all the fallen pathfinders, including fallen Venture Captains, set within a 50 ft pile around the monk. Using True Sacrifice, the monk, who now can not be named, True Resurrects all the fallen.

Would this change the whole playing field that is PFS, or would this not be allowed due to the planned lore of the Society?

Individual actions can't change the course of the society for everyone. Otherwise there would be a few dead venture captains not giving missions anymore...

If this actually worked in PFS, you could even name the monk after your least favorite NPC so that their name could never be heard again! If you were a real jerk, you could name the monk "The" or something.

"Hello pathfinders, my name is Shiela H...Gah! Curse you monk!"

And the new recruits would think that this is standard procedure of the Pathfinder Society. Monks everywhere will fear to travel to the Varisian Lodge.

That would be a hilarious thing to see in the Guide to Organized Play some day.

"If your character ever attempts to speak or write the name 'Billy Bob the Most Serene,' it instead winks out of existence to avoid profaning Billy Bob's sacrifice, and your character is permanently removed from the campaign."

To be a bit more serious, you probably can use this ability during a Special that allows level 20 characters at the very end in order to true resurrect all the dead characters in that Special as a capstone to an extraordinary PFS career. This is because Specials generally do allow cross-table effects and assume that everyone is working together at the same time in the same continuity.

All of the pathfinders that went to hell/abbadon/the abyss settle down and try to live happy lives and stay alive as long as possible so that they stay away from hell/abbadon/the abyss for as long as possible, or adventure until they have the money for a mantle of immortality. They don't want to go back.

All of the good pathfinders that went to heaven/Elysium/etc. either don't allow themselves to get ressurected, or get their affairs in order and commit suicide to go back to whatever good plane they were on. What? Did you expect them to stay here?

As a note it is currently not possible to play PFS at level 20.

There is only 1 scenario/module currently playable at level 19 or 20 and it is Race for the Rune Carved Key.

So at the moment you can get to 19.2 and then play RftRK getting to 20. There is nothing available to play there though.

Correct. This would at minimum require finding something legal to apply at 19 in order to hit 20, then playing Race.

I think the true sacrifice would have been playing a monk of the healing hand to level 20.

And, IIRC, there is only one Module that goes to 18, so if you play that at 18.2, and level up to 19.2, then you could level up to 20 by playing in Race for the Runecarved Key.

I don't think there's any way to play a scenario AT 20.

There's one mod and two APs available at L18.

Yes, but none at 19, so the best you could do would be get to 19.2, then play the scenario.

Yep, they'd have to make something legal at 19 for us to "find" it!

Liberty's Edge 5/5

Um if the module is 18, you could play it at 19. Right?

Sczarni 5/5 5/55/5 ***

They're 16-18.

There aren't enough modules at higher level to both get to level 19 and still have one left to play at 19. None of the APs are high enough to deal with this disparity, either.
