Subbing players in PFS scenario?


GM Discussion


I'm currently in a pbp PFS game that has had a few players drift off into the ether. We're now down to 3 active players. What's the etiquette on substituting players midway through a PFS adventure?

Can players come in midway, and if so, do they get full rewards? What happens to AWOL characters? Is there an official stance on these situations?

If you have any light to shed on this issue, it would be appreciated.

How far into the scenario are you? I only play OTB, not PBP, but if a table's not full, I usually allow people to come in late if it's still early enough in the adventure.

Usually, when there's only 3 players in a scenario, you're supposed to add a pregen controlled by the GM to make 4 Pathfinders in the adventure. You may need to do that if it's too late to add someone.

Usually for PbP you can do that, but remember that the new player only gets the stuff on the Chronicle they were present for. Same as a face-to-face game.

If a character died you would not add someone else, so you can continue with three active players also. Someone new should be able to complete at least three encounters to make it count though.
