I am a bit curious on how the gold gained should be properly filled in on the new Season 2 Chronicles. I've just been adding it up from all sources then noting that in the GP Gained box on the chronicle. I would still note the Earned Income in downtime, or the sale or purchase of items in the appropriate sections of the chronicle as well but it has recently occurred to me this may not be the intended approach especially with item purchases or sales being allowed away from the table and may cause some confusion.

So in order to remain consistent with what is deemed the standard in the community I figured I would ask. Should the GP Earned box only be what is earned in the scenario through treasure bundles with other purchases, downtime activities, etc.. noted separately on the sheet in their respective areas? Or would this include all of the Variable Quantities relating to gold.. in this case I think that primarily means treasure as well as their recorded earned income from downtime?

Basically, the champion Diefic Weapon class feature seems to strongly imply that Champions will almost always use the favored weapon of their diety. Is this true? Would a champion of Shelyn almost always favor the use of a Glaive or might some choose to take up sword and shield to gain better defense and potentially stronger capability to protect their friends with additional shield block attempts, etc?

I am just curious on how well the idea of Champions who do not choose to use their diefic weapon fits into the setting.

Given that Shield Bash is listed under Martial Weapons along with all the many other martial melee weapons, would this mean use of a shield and other weapon would qualify for the wielding two melee weapons for abilities like the ranger's Twin Takedown? In a home game it's up to the GM but wondering if this would be accepted for PFS games?

I've seen some mention of playtest scenarios, these seem to be in reference to specific conventions. I am curious if during the standard PF2 playtest these scenarios will also be available for those of us who want to allow our PFS online, home or store play groups to try out the new rules in a Society format to prepare our group for the upcoming change to PFS play as well as to give feedback for the new rules.

I tried searching but didn't see if these would be generally available around Aug 6th or if that was just for specific conventions.

I am planning to run a group through basically all of Season 9 scenarios. I'll start them as recruits in #06-10, then completing their Confirmation and becoming official Pathfinders with #05-08, then starting #09-01 I will play through all the Tier 1-5 scenarios in numerical order, then go to #09-02 and do the same with the 3-7 scenarios, etc..

Are there any potential timeline issues with this? I know it's totally valid to do this (so long as characters are remaining within the level tier for the adventure and don't out level them or similar), but if possible I'd like to present as consistent a story as possible too and avoid them suddenly being in a higher level scenario that quite obviously occurs after something they already completed.

Similar to this, are there any additional scenarios, quests or modules that might be worth introducing into my plan to help further flesh out the story for the players?

There's been no update to this scenario since September last year and the most recent post I could find on this topic was from November. Just curious if a Season 9 update to this is planned, did I miss where to find it? I really like the way this scenario can help provide a hook into the story for the current season for new pathfinders and would like to do this for my upcoming group that will be attempting to play through much of the Season 9 story.

I am considering making a new PFS character that is a Titan Mauler Barbarian. Before I do this though, I am curious on the PFS stance towards the purchase of oversized weaponry. Since the Titan Mauler sacrifices some of his other barbarian abilities for the ability to effectively wield oversized weapons I wouldn't want to do so if I am limited to only using weapons from slain enemies instead of having my own weapon so I know I will have it available.

It doesn't really become a concern until 4th level at the earliest but I'd not want to invest that time into a character that might find himself unable to fully utilize his abilities down the road.
