I'll start by saying I had an excellent GM. Now, if I ever sit down at a table and half are pregens. I'm going to switch gears and pull out a pregen of my own.
To prep for this I will be familiar with whichever pregen I carry to give anyone else a fighting chance.
At GenCon I played 1st Bone Keep tier 6-7 with six players. Three pregen lvl 7 and three normal lvl 6. The pregens said they played before. They played warhammer and D&D! NO Pathfinder experience ever. And it was evident once we got started. I guess it's our fault for believing them.
Pregen fighter died very early. And left the table. Two of the normal pfs died further in. And paid the res price. At the end the pregens left without chronicle sheets. No harm/ no foul. GM's hands are tied.
SO my question is. If/when I play my backup pregen instead of my normal pfs, and it dies in a scenario, what is the impact on my normal pfs character? What will the chronicle sheet say?
I hate to play this way. Because I love the characters I build from the beginning. But that is exactly why. Because I love playing. And after a few deaths you can't play anymore because the PP or gold is gone! Rip the sheets up. It's just memory after that.
I can totally accept a death by story, tactics, or dice rolls. It's part of the game. I just hate deaths that could of/should of had a better chance if everyone was honest.
I didn't play 2nd Bone Keep.
