can i go up the ranks of my faction


Pathfinder Society


I have yet to start pathfinder society but am thinking an enchanter wizard in the sovereign court faction. Can I get a higher status in that faction? maybe become a small noble? Is it possible for a character to get higher status in their faction. Thank you in advance.

As a member of your faction, there are certain vanities you can purchase with your prestige points (provided you have a copy of the Pathfinder Society Field Guide). As a member of the Sovereign Court, you can purchase a noble title and that option is listed with the Taldor faction providing you have earned the required fame.

Hope this helps.

You'll also have the opportunity to play in several scenarios that are themed towards or have missions for Sovereign Court members. Although completing them doesn't mechanically "move you up the ranks", it can add to the RP of your character, and sometimes have a positive impact on subsequent missions for your Faction.

Plus, there are the Faction Journal Cards to track your progress in your Faction.

It's called getting a higher Fame score by earning prestige. It has exactly ONE and ONE effect... opening up your purchase ceiling.

While I've never personally seen it come up, Fame does have a secondary benefit...

My good man, let me take this opportunity to say that in thos Sovereign Court, the last time I looked into such things it was indeed possible for a small amount of prestige for one to obtain a noble title. In addition to joining the Lion Blades, I have the singular honor of having become a Baronet of the Taldan Court in exchange for services rendered to the noble lady Glorianna.

I hate to be that guy, but those are prestige awards, not vanities.
