PFS guide pg 6 wrote: You may not apply a Chronicle sheet earned with a pregenerated character to a character that was already at the level of the pregenerated character or higher, as you should have used this character for the scenario instead.
I took that to be an outright prohibition, but that's the lawyer in me reading "should" to mean "must." Perhaps the Guide doesn't use "should" that way.
If it's not prohibited to play a pregen when you have a character of appropriate level available, since it is prohibited to apply the Chronicle to that character ("may not" meaning "not permitted to"), it would seem the only things the section on page 6 of the Guide would permit you to do would be to apply the Chronicle to a lower-level character when the character reaches the appropriate level or to apply it to a first level character. Since Bonekeep Level One is for characters level 3-7, you would only be applying the chronicle to either a 1st level character to a 1st or 2nd level character when that character reaches 3rd level.
Is that how you read the rule, Dragnmoon and Chris Mortika?
If this discussion has taken place generically (using a pregen when you have a character of appropriate level, but not specifically in reference to Bonekeep) on the boards, and anyone knows where it is, would you please point me to it? I'll look myself, too, when I have time tomorrow.
Chris Mullican wrote: Don't get me wrong. I completely agree that pregens should not be used in the case of Bonekeep. They usually lead to a parties downfall and failure. If a table doesn't want pregens because it will increase their chances of death that is their choice, just like it is the choice of a GM to not want to run a table that has a pregen.
My only point was there was no rule expressly forbidding it.
Well, that, and it defeats the whole purpose of organized play if the other players at the table get to decide whether you play or not. I would not recommend Bonekeep for a new player playing one of his or her first few scenarios, that's for sure. However, if there were nothing else available in that slot (e.g., no other games offered, the other tables were filled or even overfilled, or the player had already played the other offerings in that slot), the Guide clearly lets them choose to play a pregen. It doesn't leave the decision up to the table, the GM, or the event coordinator that I can see.
Andrew Christian wrote: Especially since I've seen no less than 6 players want to play a pregen instead of those in tier character so as not to risk their character. I've heard that too, but it's really an illusory problem. The Guide to Organized Play prohibits you from playing with a pregen if you have a character in tier.
I actually played a pregen in Bonekeep One when a table I was judging at a con did not make. I thought It was particularly effective. I think it's more a matter of picking a good one that fits in with the party and knowing how to play it.
I recently saw statements on Warhorn pages and other sites for cons offering Bonekeep Level One (and Level Two) indicating that pregenerated characters are prohibited. Although the Guide to Organized Play does limit when a pregenerated character can be used, I find no authority banning them outright for these adventures. I scoured the boards a few days ago, and I also redownloaded Level One just now and checked it.
If they are nonetheless prohibited, we should probably know. Since this is the thread discussing the GM rewards, including running Level One, I figured I would ask here.
If pregens aren't prohibited in the adventures, are local event coordinators (or table judges, for that matter) permitted to prohibit pregenerated characters altogether?

Pribam draws forth what has been described as the wand of painful healing and taps each of the Pathfinders, including himself, with a charge before continuing. He repeats the spell for anyone who wants a second dose after that, including himself.
I assume that's ten charges, as everyone took a pretty hard hit with the channeling.

Pribam's fury at the sight of the Calistrian priestess is palpable. "As Razmir struck, the foul lich's skull split asunder!" he cries, continuing the inspiring parable of The Abomination.

Unfortunately, where your pog is right now is 30' from Pribam and 35' from Armun. Pribam's turn came before Tarrow's, so you certainly could've moved into range for the haste. We just both wrote our posts in at about the same time, and yours beat mine by a couple minutes.

Pribam stares in horror as the Ambassador falls. He steps back from the hound, reaches into his bag of holding and draws a scroll. "Kill it! Kill it now! Tarrow move in for haste!" he shouts. Pribam readies to cast haste from his scroll when Tarrow has moved within 30' of Armun and Pribam.

Can you move the hound and show the square in which Kelvor fell so I can figure out what to do? Most of what I have involves AoO's and having to reach Kelvor.

Kelvor rages and attempts to take control of the grapple.

If it would help, I can change Pribam's action to popping out his wand of cure moderate as a swift action and healing Kelvor for Cure Moderate: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (7, 6) + 3 = 16. Since he's grappling with a large creature, which I missed when I wrote Pribam's action, I think he's pulled into the hound's squares, so Pribam should be able to reach him.

Pribam wonders whether he or anyone else in the party has anything with him that a Grodair might like, food, a beverage, music, sparkly things, soft stuff, or anything else. "What do they like that we might be able to offer to support Armun's diplomatic efforts?" he wonders.

Pribam speaks quietly and calmly. "Master Armun, that is a Grodair. It is afraid, and it is dangerous in that it explodes when killed, like a wet fireball. It speaks sylvan. Perhaps you should speak to it."
I will be out all day interviewing witnesses. If you need to bot me, feel free. I have a lot of charges of magic missile and infernal healing left. Use them freely.

Wisdom Check #10: 1d20 - 2 + 6 ⇒ (19) - 2 + 6 = 23 ...succeeds
Pribam blushes at the fact it took him 10 rounds to float up and back down again. He thinks to himself that such public embarrassment may be part of his punishment for failing to keep Vos alive.

Pribam enters the room. When he does, he imagines "down" is toward the ceiling for an instant, then immediately that the far wall is down. Just before he reaches the far wall, he imagines that the floor is down.
In other words, Pribam tries to float across the room to the wall opposite the door and to land there with his feet on the floor.
