Campaign Mode and Boons for New Characters

Hi all, I was looking over the sanctioning document and updated chronicle sheets for Dead Suns, and had a realization. I've been GMing Dead Suns in campaign mode, and applying the chronicle sheets to 1st level characters with reduced credits.

Given that you must normally wait until the character is within the level range for the chronicle sheet to benefit from any of those boons, how does the Legacy of Vanished Ages boon from the chronicle sheet from book 6 work with that? It requires you to have completed all six books and is applied to a new character, but doesn't say that the books' chronicles have to be applied to the same character or anything like that.

So would I have to get the character I apply my book 6 chronicle to up to 11th level before I can use the Legacy of Vanished Ages boon? I would hope not, but I'm honestly not sure.

Thanks all!

Eek!

My -701 out-leveled the 3rd Chronicle by the time we finished Book 3, so I assigned it to a different character.

I also hope that they don't all have to be applied to the same character =(

Thursty has said on the discord he was looking into updating the sanctioning document before it went live (this appears to not have been possible) but that it doesn't have to be on the same character.

The AAT chronicles have a similar reward which should have verbiage stating this fact according to his comments.

Usual caveat about things said not on the forums arent official rulings, yadda, yadda.

Its a cross off thing like skittershot so i can't see any way to read it as all having to go to the same character

It can be on any character to qualify for the Dead Suns 6 boon.

(Sorry for slow post, at another pre-Gen Con Con)

Thanks all! I figured as much. However, I'm still not sure if I'd have to get that book 6 character to 11th for that boon. I assume "no" but wanted to be sure.

Unless there's a specific ruling on this particular thing, the answer to your original question actually seems to be, "yes" since the guide says

Starfinder Society Roleplaying Guild Guide, pg 7 wrote:
You can apply adventure credit from a higher-level sanctioned module or Adventure Path to a newly created, 1st-level Starfinder Society Roleplaying Guild character. When doing so, reduce the credits reward to 720 credits if the adventure grants 1 XP or 2,160 credits if it grants 3 XP. You do not benefit from any boons until your Starfinder Society Roleplaying Guild character reaches the minimum level listed on the Chronicle sheet, unless otherwise noted.

Since nothing on this boon seems to override the unless otherwise noted verbiage, you don't appear to get access to the boon until your character is 11th level, at that point you can check all the boxes for parts you played, regardless of which character those AP parts were applied to.

Personally what I'm doing is I have 1 GM AP character and 1 PC AP character and because of the way application works I'm applying all of AAT, DS, and SoS to the same character. Doing this I should have access to the DS boon around April of next year.

Considering what Shaudius has quoted, he seems to be correct (and I have always operated under that assumption for the campaign modes in PFS as well).

We're all anxiously looking forward to the announcement for Starfinder Society scenarios #1–22 and beyond.

Specifically, to see if tier 7-10 are in our near future. We can see now that there's a considerable number of players with level 7-8 PCs.

I would expect to see these after Gen Con. However, I'm willing to confirm that there's no Tier 7-10 scenarios up through November.

Yeah, that's the verbiage I was worried about. Shoot... I'd rather get the chance to play a character instead of just power-leveling them to make use of that boon. Oh well.

Another reason many of us want higher tier scenarios.

However, Signal of Screams parts 1 + 2 in concert with the Dead Suns AP can get you to level 11 where the AP6 chronicle sheet can be applied.

That was my plan. Assuming I can find a group for Signal of Screams online.
