Faction Pin (Dark Archive): Once per session, while wearing a faction pin matching your character's faction, you may add 1 to any skill check.

If you apply this benefit to one of your faction's favored skills, Knowledge (arcana), Linguistics, and UMD you instead roll 1d4 and add the result. For this roll you also treat the faction's favored skill as if you were trained, even if you don't have a rank in it.

Enduring Scholar (S10 Faction Card): Your exposure to dangerous magic has conditioned you to resist spells.

Once per adventure before rolling a saving throw against a spell, you can apply a bonus equal to 1 + half the number of goals (3) you have completed.

Mana treads The lesser mana treads occupy the feet slot. They grant you a +1 resistance bonus on all saving throws, and this bonus increases to +2 against spells and spell-like abilities.

The boots also gradually store ambient magical energy, represented by 3 charges that the wearer can spend to activate the boots’ special abilities; these recharge at the beginning of each day.

If you defeat a creature that can cast arcane spells and whose CR equals or exceeds your level, the boots regain 2 charges (maximum once per day).

As an immediate action, you can spend one charge to gain SR 13 until the beginning of your next turn. You may spend an additional two charges to extend this spell resistance to all allies within 30 feet.

Between adventures, you may enhance the lesser mana treads to become mana treads and later greater mana treads by paying the difference in price between those items. You receive the lesser mana treads for free, and they have an effective market price of 0 gp. Treat the market price of mana treads as 6,000 gp and that of greater mana treads as 20,000 gp. All versions of the boots have caster level 12th and a strong aura of abjuration.

Mana treads’ bonuses on saving throws both increase by 1, and the boots grant one of the abilities listed below, selected when you first upgrade this item. Greater mana treads’ bonuses on saving throws increase by 1 (to +3 on all saving throws and +4 against spells and spell-like abilities), and the boots grant an additional one of the benefits below.

• The spell resistance granted by the boots increases to 9 plus your character level (minimum 15).
• When the boots’ granted spell resistance prevents a spell from affecting you, you can spend 1 charge to absorb the scattered energies. This grants you a number of temporary hit points equal to the spell’s level, a +2 bonus on caster level checks to overcome spell resistance, and the benefits of divine favour (CL equals the negated spell’s level). These benefits last for 1 minute.
• You can spend 1 charge and stomp the ground as a standard action to create a 20-foot-radius zone that saps magical energy. While in this area, any creature that attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + twice the spell’s level); if the check fails, that creature’s spell is wasted.
You can spend additional charges when you use this ability, and you can exclude one creature from its effect for each additional charge spent.

Xenophile: You may add Race Boons to this boon to gain Skill Specialization in a particular skill associated with that race.

Vishkanya: Escape Artist

Season 2 Explorer: Shadow Lodge Explorer (Basic): You gain Disguise as a class skill.

Season 3 Explorer: Ruby Phoenix Explorer (Basic): You gain Acrobatics as a class skill.

Horror Resistance Whether due to your natural mental resilience or a tolerance built up over the course of many disturbing events, your mind is especially resistant to fear.

You gain a +1 bonus on Will saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities with the fear descriptor. You gain a +2 bonus on all saving throws against haunts. If you succeed at a saving throw against a haunt, you may choose to suffer its effects as if you had failed at the saving throw. If you do so, you receive a clue about how to put the haunt to rest.

If you have a familiar, animal companion, or eidolon, it also gains these benefits, though an animal companion never choses to suffer the effects of a haunt despite succeeding on a saving throw.

[✓] [ ] [ ] Martial Tradition: You have located and trained with a famous practitioner of a region's martial art, and even if you have not mastered the forms, you can incorporate a few techniques into your fighting style.

Choose one of the fighting styles blow, each of which focuses on a particular feat and a location (a group of countries or a large geographic feature).

As a free action on your turn, you can check one of the boxes that precede this boon to gain one of the listed feats for 3 rounds; you do not need to meet the feat's prerequisites.

When adventuring in an area associated with the fighting style, you can use this boon once during the adventure without checking a box.

Aldori Dueling (Combat Expertise, Dodge, or Exotic Weapon Proficiency [aldori dueling sword ISWG] Brevoy and the River Kingdoms): Sirian Aldori was a master of the curved blade that now bears his name. Although the style rarely travels beyond the River Kingdoms, the Aldori duelists' reputation for agile swordplay has spread far and wide.

Mantle of the Black Rider III (Wisdom of Eons): As you recovered the next set of keys and faced the trials of the Mother, the Maiden, and the Crone, the Mantle of the Black Rider grew in power.

Once per day as a swift action you may gain a +1 bonus (+3) on skill checks and ability checks for 1 minute.

For every additional Mantle of the Black Rider boon that this character possesses, the bonus increases by 1 to a maximum of a +6 bonus. You may not benefit from more than one Mantle of the Black Rider boon at a time.

Mantle of the Black Rider IV (Trials on the Wanderer): As you overcome the challenges of Triaxus, the Mantle of the Black Rider grows in power.

Once per day as an immediate action before rolling a saving throw you may gain a +1 (+3) insight bonus on that saving throw.

For every additional Mantle of the Black Rider boon that you have for this character, the bonus increases by +1. You may not benefit from more than one Mantle of the Black Rider boon at a time.

Mantle of the Black Rider V (Hunt for the Mad Monk): The unorthodox tactics of Rasputin’s soldiers failed to stop you, and in turn the Mantle of the Black Rider grows in power.

Once per day as a swift action you may gain a +1 (+3) bonus on attack rolls for 1 round. This bonus decreases by 1 for every attack you make.

For every additional Mantle of the Black Rider boon that this character possesses, the bonus increases by 1 to a maximum of a +6 bonus. You may not benefit from more than one Mantle of the Black Rider boon at a time.

Energized by the World Engine (Reign of Winter V): As a swift action you may either touch a weapon to grant it the shocking burst weapon quality for 1 minute or apply the Elemental Spell (electricity) metamagic feat to a spell as you cast it without increasing the spell’s level or casting time.

Any electricity damage dealt by the spell or weapon property deals full damage to incorporeal creatures. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.

[✓][✓][ ] A Piece of Time (Tears at Bitter Manor I): You rescued Dern Fosimuth, an aging member of the adventuring group known as the Golden Watch. To assist you in your coming trials, he has given you his piece of a weirding watch, a fragmented magic item that grants limited control over time.

As a swift action, you can activate the watch fragment to gain the benefit of haste (CL 5) for 3 rounds. You can only activate this ability once per day, and each time you do so, check one of the boxes below.

Upon checking the last box, the fragment’s magic is spent; cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet. Unlike a standard weirding watch fragment, your piece does not interact with or benefit from the activation of other weirding watches.

An Alchemical Discovery (Tears at Bitter Manor II): Following the battle Anobaith in the basement of the Tristiza House, you were able to locate Taergan Flinn’s notes and discovered that he developed a handful of incredible potions and extracts. Now that the Tristiza House is in the hands of Cassomir, the town uses these discoveries to bring wealth to the local shopkeepers and townsfolk.

So long as you possess this boon, this character can purchase the following potions as if they appeared on the Additional Resources page: potion of cure critical wounds, potion of detonate (Pathfinder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide 215), and potion of thorn body (Advanced Player’s Guide 248). The market price of each potion is 1,400 gp (CL 7th).

Tristeza House (Tears at Bitter Manor II): Having cleansed Tristeza House, an estate in northern Taldor, of its evil inhabitants, impressed the citizens of Hope’s Hollow, and made the Verduran Forest a safer place, the city of Cassomir has recognized your accomplishments with ceremonies and property. Increase your Prestige Points and Fame earned for this Chronicle sheet by 2 (1 for slow track).

In addition, you are the owner of Tristeza House, granting you a +2 bonus on Knowledge (geography) and Survival checks made while in Taldor.

[ ] The Hero We Deserve (Feast of Dust I): The generations of Whitewater rule have corrupted Dimayen, and you have mercilessly cauterized its figurative wounds; you have struck down members of the Whitewater family, slain afflicted citizens of Dimayen, or demonstrated other remorseless pragmatism at the GM’s discretion.

Before attempting any d20 roll, you can check the box that precedes this boon to roll two dice and take the better result.

During the module Feast of Dust, you can also spend 1 Prestige Point to use this ability without checking the box, reflecting the reputation you’re willing to sacrifice to help Dimayen — even if the citizens can’t bring themselves to thank you properly.

Spirit of the Stormbrides (Feast of Dust II): You have earned the reverence of the suli hunters known as the Stormbrides.

You gain a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls as well as Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against animals, magical beasts, and vermin.

If you have the favored enemy class feature associated with any of these creature types, your existing bonus instead increases by 1.

Furthermore, you can purchase one +2 defending scimitar from this Chronicle sheet for 13,500 gp.

Daemon Slayer (Feast of Dust III): You deal 1d6 additional damage against daemons with natural and manufactured weapons, and daemons take a –1 penalty on saving throws against your spells and effects.

You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet in order to apply these benefits against all outsiders with the evil subtype for 1 minute.

Confirmed Field Agent (The Confirmation): One of the Three Masters has formally recognized you as a field agent and given you a wayfinder engraved with your name and the date of your graduation (20 Gozran, 4721). You may acquire it by spending 1 Prestige Point.

Furthermore, if you assign this Chronicle sheet to a character whose starting XP is 0, you reduce the Prestige Point cost of any wayfinder enhancement vanities you purchase to modify this wayfinder by 1 (minimum 1).

Explore, Report, Cooperate (The Confirmation): As a free or immediate action, you may consider whether a particular action you name — such as subduing but not killing an enemy, befriending an NPC, or recovering a particular item — would help realize the goals of the Pathfinder Society.

The GM then informs you whether the action’s impact would be positive (contributes to meeting a secondary success condition for the scenario), negative (opposes the secondary success condition), or negligible (neither contributes to nor opposes the secondary success condition).

If none of these three options accurately reflects the action’s impact on the PC’s fulfilment of the secondary success conditions, the GM may respond with a phrase of five words or less. Once you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.

Friend of Janira Gavix (The Confirmation): The field agent who oversaw your Confirmation helps you perform research, granting you a +1 bonus on Knowledge checks attempted while you are in the Grand Lodge.

Explore, Report, Cooperate (Wounded Wisp): As a free or immediate action, you may consider whether a particular action you name — such as subduing but not killing an enemy, befriending an NPC, or recovering a particular item — would help realize the goals of the Pathfinder Society.

The GM then informs you whether the action’s impact would be positive (contributes to meeting a secondary success condition for the scenario), negative (opposes the secondary success condition), or negligible (neither contributes to nor opposes the secondary success condition).

If none of these three options accurately reflects the action’s impact on the PC’s fulfillment of the secondary success conditions, the GM may respond with a phrase of five words or less. Once you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.

Prized Find (Wounded Wisp): You were instrumental in uncovering a cache of lost records that the Pathfinder Society can use to explore hitherto unknown sites. If you would fail to earn a Prestige Point at the end of an adventure due to failing a success condition, you may cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet to remind your superiors of your past breakthroughs and earn the 1 Prestige Point as if you had successfully fulfilled the condition.

You may only use this boon if you would also gain at least 1 XP for completing the adventure (0.5 XP if you use the slow track advancement option).

Gift of the Ghaele (Night March of Kalkamedes): Sulianna the Luminescent, an azata whom you rescued, owes you a debt and has granted you a fraction of her power. You may use one of the following as a spell-like ability once, using your character level as your caster level. After using this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.

Subtier 1–2: You may cast aid, detect thoughts, lesser restoration, or see invisibility.

Memories (Why Were You Chosen?): You have fought your way free of the madness of Briarstone Asylum, taking the first steps towards recovering your missing memories. Choose one of the options below and cross the rest off of your Chronicle sheet.

You can check one of the boxes preceding your choice to apply a bonus to one of the associated skill checks. You must choose whether or not to apply this bonus after seeing the d20 roll, but before learning the outcome.

[ ] [ ] [ ] Detective: You have an eye for detail and a suspicious nature; you must have been sought out for your skills as a detective.

Gain a +2 bonus on your Sense Motive or Survival skill check.

Mercy’s Blessing (Twisted Circle): You survived the transformative power of Verdant Spark, and you now have a measure of protection against other conditions that would attempt to harm your body.

You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet to reroll a saving throw against a poison or disease and take the better result.

Nira’s Gratitude (Twisted Circle): If you do not take Nira as a familiar, you can still ask her to follow you. If you do so, you can coax her to remember some of her former abilities at great effort.

After you roll a Knowledge check, Perception check, or Sense Motive check but before the results are revealed, you can cross this boon off of your Chronicle sheet to roll a second time using Nira’s bonus instead (6 + your character level), representing Nira’s insights.

This act is mentally taxing, and Nira cannot provide this assistance more than once.

Embeth Hound (Six Seconds to Midnight): The Embeth Travelers gift you with a loyal Embeth hound at no cost. An Embeth hound is a riding dog who receives a +4 racial bonus on all Climb and Swim checks in place of a riding dog’s typical +4 racial bonus on Acrobatic checks while jumping. An Embeth hound is trained for combat and additionally knows the Track trick. If the Embeth hound dies, cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet.

Henbane’s Token (Six Seconds to Midnight): Inquisitor Henbane leaves you with a token of her favor. This enchanted flower from a henbane plant allows its wearer to step outside of the flow of time.

As a purely mental move action, you can destroy the flower to disappear completely one round. While you are out of time, you cannot be affected by any new spells or effects, and any ongoing durations of spells or effects affecting you do not continue to progress. You also cannot take any actions while out of time.

At the beginning of your next turn after disappearing from time, you reappear in the same square you left (or the closest open space if it is occupied). Once you expend the token’s power, cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet.

Touched by Time (Six Seconds to Midnight): You have passed through time-distorting portals in Uringen, and residual magic from that experience clings to you.

You may cast either haste or slow as a spell-like ability, using your character level as your caster level and Charisma as your key ability score. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.

Rum Punch Champion: Choose one of the following three boons, and cross the others off your Chronicle sheet.

Using the boon is a free action and requires you check the accompanying check box. If you have already used the boon, you may activate it again by spending 2 Disrepute.

Drunk’s Fortitude: You can use this boon before rolling a saving throw against a spell or effect that would sicken or nauseate you to gain a +2 bonus on the save.

On Dangerous Waters — Archelon Eggs: You recovered several archelon eggs and kept one to incubate and raise as your own. If you have the divine bond, mount, or nature bond class ability—or a similar feature that grants you an animal companion—instead of choosing an animal from the list provided by the ability, you may instead select an archelon (Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 3 311).

If the archelon already appears on your list of available animal companions, you can instead treat your effective druid level as one higher when determining an archelon animal companion’s bonus HD, natural armor bonus, Strength and Dexterity bonus, bonus tricks, and special abilities. This boon cannot increase your effective druid level more than one level above your actual character level.

Burgeoning Notoriety: Your actions have earned you a modicum of respect on the high seas, and you gain 5 points of Disrepute and 5 points of Infamy. Disrepute behaves in many ways like Prestige Points, allowing you to leverage your reputation to purchase a small number of boons; Prestige Points and Disrepute are not interchangeable unless otherwise noted. Infamy behaves in many ways like Fame, tracking the total number of Disrepute points that you have earned over your career, and you may use you Infamy instead of your Fame when determining the maximum gp value of items purchased from your faction. As you continue your adventures in the Shackles, your Disrepute and Infamy will grow, as will the ways in which you may spend Disrepute.

Growing Notoriety: Your actions have earned you some respect on the high seas, and you gain 5 points of Disrepute and 5 points of Infamy. Disrepute behaves in many ways like Prestige Points, allowing you to leverage your reputation to purchase a small number of boons; Prestige Points and Disrepute are not interchangeable unless otherwise noted. Infamy behaves in many ways like Fame, tracking the total number of Disrepute points that you have earned over your career, and you may use you Infamy instead of your Fame when determining the maximum gp value of items purchased from your faction. As you continue your adventures in the Shackles, your Disrepute and Infamy will grow, as will the ways in which you may spend Disrepute.

Avast Ye! (1+ Disrepute): Before attempting a Diplomacy or a Perform (oratory) check when addressing a pirate or a creature with the aquatic or water subtype, you may spend 1 point of Disrepute to gain a +1 bonus on the check. For each additional point of Disrepute you spend, increase the bonus by 1 (maximum +5).

To the Seas, Ya Landlubber! (3+ Disrepute) As a standard action, you can cast touch of the sea as a spell-like ability using your character level as your caster level. If you use this boon as a full-round action, you can touch up to six other targets to share the spell’s effects with them, though doing so costs an additional 3 Disrepute per additional target.

[ ] [ ] [ ] Aiyana’s Ally 1 (Cradle of Night 1): Your friendship with the caligni bard Aiyana has been tested by the trials of Haramil’s tomb. Aiyana now travels alongside you for a time, sharing in your adventures.

Whenever you would fail a Knowledge skill check or a Will saving throw to disbelieve an illusion, you can check a box that precedes this boon to reroll the check (representing Aiyana coming to your aid with helpful insight).

[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Aiyana’s Ally 2 (Cradle of Night 2): Your friendship with the caligni bard Aiyana has been tempered during your journey to the underground city of Lyrudrada. Aiyana continues to travel alongside you for a time, sharing your adventures and supporting you with her magic.

Aiyana continues to travel alongside you for a time, sharing your adventures and supporting you with her bardic song. You can check a box next to this boon as a swift action to receive the benefits of Aiyana’s inspire courage (+2) bardic performance for the next 3 rounds.

Shadowbound (Cradle of Night 1): Your exposure to the shadowy energies infusing Haramil’s tomb have corrupted you with their influence. You gain the shadowbound corruption (Pathfinder RPG Horror Adventures 34) at corruption stage 0, choosing two of the following manifestations: Eerie Perception, Emptiness of the Void, or Frightful. This sets your manifestation level at 2. You do not need to make the Will save described in the progression entry for the shadowbound corruption; you are assumed to have enough time between adventures to spend the 2 days sequestered. As long as you do not currently possess a Chronicle sheet with the Shadowbound Stage 1 or Shadowbound Stage 2 boon checked (but not crossed off) , you may cross out boon by spending 5 Prestige Points whenever your character would be able to purchase spellcasting services during an adventure.

If you already have a manifestation from the Shadowbound or Shadowbound Stage 2 boons, you must choose different manifestations than you chose with those boons. You do not need to make the Will save described in the progression entry for the shadowbound corruption; you are assumed to have enough time between adventures to spend the 2 days sequestered. As long as you do not currently possess a Chronicle sheet with the Shadowbound Stage 2 boon checked (but not crossed off), you can cross out this boon by spending 5 Prestige Points whenever your character would be able to purchase spellcasting services during an adventure.

[ ] Returned from Shadow 2 (Cradle of Night 2): Check the box that precedes this boon after you cross out the Shadowbound Stage 1 boon. When the box next to this boon is checked, you gain a permanent +1 competence bonus on all saving throws made to resist ability drain or death effects.

You can check the box that precedes this boon to negate any one effect that would destroy or trap your soul when you are targeted. This does not prevent any additional effects associated with that effect.

Alternatively, you can check the box to gain the assistance of one of Magrim’s divine servants in escorting your soul back to your body, reducing the cost of any one spellcasting service that returns you to life by 8 Prestige Points.

[ ] Maze Breaker (Betrayal in the Bones): You have overcome a fragment of the Ivory Labyrinth itself, in the process learning how to defeat other mazes.

This grants you a +3 circumstance bonus on Diplomacy checks to influence high-standing members of House Thrune, the Chelish government, or a Hellknight order in good standing. This bonus remains in effect as long as the token is on your person, and the token imparts its bonus only to you.
