1 post. Organized Play character for AriannaMae.




I am trying to find an up to date list of the PFS scenarios that can be replayed for credit, such as The Confirmation. All of the forum posts I have been able to find about replaying scenarios either talk solely about GM credit (which is not what I am asking about, so please don't bother mentioning it as an option) or are very out of date.

I know the guide says "All Tier 1 scenarios and Tier 1–2 sanctioned modules are available for unlimited replay with a 1st-level character for credit. The sanctioned modules may also be played with a 2nd-level character once for credit." I could just really use some help on what this means. Specifically, clarification on what a "sanctioned module" is, since I'm new to all of this and the terminology slightly confuses me.

Links to the various replayable scenarios/modules would also be appreciated.

Thanks!


I know off the bat that the likely answer to this question is "no", but please hear me out.

I played two games at a convention last year, with pregens. This year I started to get into my local PFS games, so I created my own character. I applied the pregen credit to that character, meaning I started out my character with 2xp. My very first game I leveled up to 2, and my second game was played at level 2.

My question is this - is it possible to retrain my character at this point, without using the retraining rules? As I said, I know the general answer to this is "no", but I feel like this situation bears some thought. If I had created a brand new character and started it at 0xp, I would be able to play three games before having to settle on exactly how my character is built. That gives me plenty of time to make sure I like the feel of my character. It also gives me a chance to understand exactly what is expected of a pathfinder character, to make sure I am able to contribute to all kinds of different scenarios.

As it is, starting with 2xp from pregens, I only get to play a single game before I have to finalize my character. I did this, thinking I knew what I wanted, but my second scenario showed me how much I didn't know about my character and how it would (not) be helpful in certain situations. I know I have the option of just making a new character, but I have a really great boon that I don't want to lose now. Since I have only played 2 scenarios with the character I feel like it makes sense to be able to retrain for free still. Having to start over, and losing that boon, feels like I'm being punished for being an inexperienced player.

I feel like this is a prime example of RAW vs RAI. As written I know I cannot retrain my 2nd level character for free. But as intended, being able to play 3 sceanrios to get the feel of my character before making it permanent, I should be able to.
