Per the Starfinder Society Roleplaying Guild Guide, page 46-
*A player may apply the Welcome to Starfinder boon to their first character (XXX-701)
Notes:
This boon does not need to be the first boon applied to the character. While designed for new characters, it is helpful at any stage of playing. It may not be applied to any other number character.
We are working on a way to restore erroneously deleted characters. If a player deleted their -701 character, they may send a request to pfsreportingerrors@paizo.com and we will restore the character as soon as we have the means to do so.

Thank you, Tonya.
I have never seen the pfsreportingerrors@paizo.com email before. I'm noting that one down, since it is a perpetual question!
Query: will the rules for Welcome to Pathfinder boon be changed so that it may be applied to XXX-1 characters when they are other levels, or is the application at all levels only true for the Welcome to Starfinder Boon?
Hmm

I feel like the answer is implicitly obvious, but I know I am going to be asked:
In "Spellgem Cache" what level is the Mystic Cure spellgem? I assume I can't use it to cast Mystic Cure L4 for 7d8 + my Wisdom modifier on a PC who died last round and bring them back to life.

Have the GM running the first table you play your 701 at sign and number it.Note that, as HMM points out, the SFS version of the boon does not need to be applied to a new PC.
It does have to be applied to the -701 but it does not need to be applied immediately. The player can hold off applying it until later in the character's career. So I would not actually put a number on it.

The language for not immidiately requiring it to be applied directly affects players at my Store. We ran 4 SFS tables prior to this being released. If it was not allowed to be applied "later" then there would be no way for them to apply it to their -701's that are now (in some cases) already level 2.
There aren't many benefits to delaying application, but it prevents punishing early adopters who waitied for the 0800 Pacific "legal to run SFS" time from being penalized for supporting the organized play program as quickly and early as possible.

It is true for both of the Welcome boons. While intended to assist new players, the Welcome boons are available to all (and should always have been so.) It just doesn't do as much for a character with stuff.

So despite being around for longer than the Welcome to Pathfinder boons, I could still take one and apply it? I assume it would still have to go on my -1, who's now level 12, but technically allowed?

I too am hoping for more detailed confirmation of this. Free stuff is still free stuff, regardless of how high level a character is.
I feel like a bit of a dummy, but with the forums being so text-centric, it was not immediately obvious that the first line of the post was a download link.

Will we be able to restore erroneously deleted PFS characters as well or is this feature just for -701's in regards to the Welcome Boon?
(Has no -4, 5, 6, or 7)
The tool will allow for any character to be recovered, PFSRPG, PFSACG, or SFSRPG.

This is big. Will the information about the Welcome to Pathfinder be updated to make this point clear? I am one of those who asked for the boon when it came out but was told I could not get it because I was an established player.
Note, I am not asking for the boon to be updated, just the information about it.

PFT I want the Welcome to Pathfinder Boon. I didn't even know it existed.
You can grab the boon here. It's currently hosted on the GM Prep site.

That's just the link that I have. I couldn't find the original post, but I found this with a Google search.

So quick question, may be aa dumb one. But does everyone get this boon? I have been playing PFS for years.
So can I use this boon too? or is this just for the brand new people who never played society before? Something for the PFS boon. When I joined I never got one, as far as I was told there are relatively new.
