The basic downloaded sheet collects character name, character number and faction. At the end of the game the GM still needs to fill in success conditions A,B,C,D as well as prestige earned.
<p>What I was talking about the ruling that if you're using a pregen during a game and bad stuff happens. You can reassign the chronicle to a different character number. Pregen credit was originally intended for character -3. It dies, you can't afford to raise it, so you reassign the game to character -99. Allowing you to keep -3 safe. The problem is that ruling was made during a period that required players to have a physical copy of a character sheet. The current ruling allows players to not have a physical character sheet.</p>
<p>The current rule of no physical sheet required can now lead to players needing to swap to a pregen in the middle of a game. All I was saying was if a player needed to swap during a game. They shouldn't be able to re-assign the chronicle if bad stuff happens to the pregen, and it should be locked on the character the player began the session with. Because they should not be rewarded for not being properly prepared.</p>Gary Bush wrote:Brian Lefebvre wrote:Mike also required players to have a physical character sheet.

Awaits the inevitable announcement of kitsune genocide in terror.
That's the theme of Monday's Blog. When they announce the focus of season 8 will be the PCs spearheading the extermination of all kitsune.Brian Lefebvre (alias of Drizzt1080, RPG Superstar 2014 Top 32)2016-02-02T20:33:13ZRe: Forums: Pathfinder Society: Reskinning, "What another reskin question?"Brian Lefebvre (alias of Drizzt1080, RPG Superstar 2014 Top 32)https://paizo.com/threads/rzs2taig?Reskinning-What-another-reskin-question#182016-02-02T04:35:26Z2016-02-02T04:35:26Z<div class="messageboard-quotee">Codanous wrote:</div><blockquote><p> I just wanted to make it clear that I wasn't trying to get any more bang for my buck than what the Sword Cane already offers. </p>

<p>On the other hand, I had a player show up at a Con with a 7th level "pregenerated" character. It was a Strix, he admitted he'd rolled really well on his stats, and he'd spent what the CRB told him was the appropriate gold amount on a few pricey items that would have likely been above his Fame level had the character actually been legal. I told him up front, even though we were pressed for time, that he'd have to use one of the other official Pregens, but that I'd be willing to help him out after the session to create something legal.</p>
<p>Both examples have inexperienced players using illegal options with too little time at the beginning of the session to correct the issue. The difference was the severity. A level 2 PC with an illegal archetype isn't as disruptive to the game or other players as a level 7 PC with an illegal flying race with overpowered stats and items.</p>

The problem is that to do so you support the GM's ability to choose to ignore campaign rules to enhance that table's experience.
<p>When someone shows up with an illegal character. The GM should just explain what PFS is and why the person's own character can't be used. Then give them their options to participate. Then let them choose the option they wish to use. Even if it means they choose to walk away.
