Question on applying playtest credit: If I use a level 8 playtest character in a session played at the 7-8 subtier, and apply it to a lower level character (level 6 for example) as described in the playtest blog, is the 7-8 subtier equipment crossed off the chronicle?

I wouldn't think so

The chronicle doesn't apply until your character is level 8.
It's when it hits the level of the pregen for when it applies.

Playtest stuff is special, per Thursty. It bypasses the normal assignment rules for Pregen credits.
From the blog:
+Applying Credit: As we want to encourage extra play of the higher-level versions of these classes, we're also going to open up the rules for applying credit when playing a playtest character. A player using a non-1st-level playtest character may choose to apply the earned Chronicle sheet to an existing Organized Play character. To do so, simply replace the credits earned on the Chronicle sheet with credits from the list below that match the level range of the existing player character.
Levels 1-2: 720 credits (2,160 credits for Adventure Path module)
Levels 3-4: 1,460 credits (4,380 credits for Adventure Path module)
Levels 5-6: 4,085 credits (12,255 credits for Adventure Path module)
Levels 7-8: 5,835 credits (17,505 credits for Adventure Path module)
- 3) Does the credit from a Playtest character apply the same as a Pregen, in that if you use a level 8 pregen, that credit does not apply until your character is level 8?
+Thursty:
+3) See above, but essentially you can apply the credit based on the level ranges listed. So if you use the 8th level, you can reduce the credits earned based on the level of the character you're applying it to.

ah, thx

Right. So the answer is the character gets access to the listed equipment? Subject to Level+2 limitations like normal of course.

Yes.
And, it seems to me, that they may get access to some boons early...
((Because things apply differently))

Sure do.
Sure do get some really nice benefits from playing these pregens, almost like it's the holiday season or something :stuck_out_tongue:
