Faction Pin (Dark Archive): Once per session, while wearing a faction pin matching your character's faction, you may add 1 to any skill check.

If you apply this benefit to one of your faction's favored skills, Knowledge (arcana), Linguistics, and UMD you instead roll 1d4 and add the result. For this roll you also treat the faction's favored skill as if you were trained, even if you don't have a rank in it.

Enduring Scholar (S10 Faction Card): Once per adventure before rolling a saving throw against a spell, you can apply a bonus equal to 1 + half the number of goals (4) you have completed.

Magical Tinkerer (S10 Faction Card): UMD is a class skill for you. Once per adventure, you can use a bonus equal to 5 + twice the number of goals you have completed to a UMD check. If your own skill bonus is higher, you instead gain a +2 bonus on that check.

Zey’s Gratitude (Abducted in Aether): In addition to treating you less derisively than he does most other Pathfinders, Zey offers you a future spellcasting favor, allowing you to use one of the following spells as a spell-like ability.

Use your character level as your caster level, and use your own Intelligence or Charisma score or 20 (whichever is higher) when determining spell DCs.

Cross the boon off your Chronicle when you use the spell-like ability.

Subtier 10–11: You may cast chain lightning, fireball, greater dispel magic, greater heroism, greater invisibility, or stoneskin.

Confirmed Field Agent (The Confirmation): One of the Three Masters has formally recognized you as a field agent and given you a wayfinder engraved with your name and the date of your graduation (19 Calistril, 4721). You may acquire it by spending 1 Prestige Point.

Furthermore, if you assign this Chronicle sheet to a character whose starting XP is 0, you reduce the Prestige Point cost of any wayfinder enhancement vanities you purchase to modify this wayfinder by 1 (minimum 1).

Explore, Report, Cooperate (The Confirmation): As a free or immediate action, you may consider whether a particular action you name — such as subduing but not killing an enemy, befriending an NPC, or recovering a particular item — would help realize the goals of the Pathfinder Society.

The GM then informs you whether the action’s impact would be positive (contributes to meeting a secondary success condition for the scenario), negative (opposes the secondary success condition), or negligible (neither contributes to nor opposes the secondary success condition).

If none of these three options accurately reflects the action’s impact on the PC’s fulfilment of the secondary success conditions, the GM may respond with a phrase of five words or less. Once you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.

Friend of Janira Gavix (The Confirmation): The field agent who oversaw your Confirmation helps you perform research, granting you a +1 bonus on Knowledge checks attempted while you are in the Grand Lodge.

[ ] Efreeti Arcana (Forged in Flame II): You have studied powerful efreeti magic gathered over generations. Alternatively, you can check the box to cast scorching ray as a spell-like ability (CL 7th).

Impressive Find (House of Harmonious Wisdom): Once you earn 12 or more Fame, your superiors award you 1 additional Prestige Point (but not Fame) in recognition of your excellence. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle Sheet.

Legacy of a Princess (House of Harmonious Wisdom): You may call upon Song Rui’s dedication as a swift action that lasts for 1 minute. During this time, the first time you hit a creature with a melee attack each round, you gain a +2 bonus to your AC against that creature until the beginning of your next turn. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.

[ ] [ ] [ ] Sun Shogun Talismans (House of Harmonious Wisdom): Your return of the sovereign dragon scroll case to Shokuro has impressed the Sun Shogun, and he makes available to you certain magical talismans normally available only to his trusted agents. You may purchase a talisman of freedom (900gp), talisman of good fortune (1,680gp), or talisman of warrior’s courage (450gp). When you purchase a talisman in this way, note that it is a Sun Shogun talisman and mark off one box.

Sun Shogun talismans function as normal except that you may, as an immediate action, prevent a talisman from activating when it would otherwise do so, allowing you to save its magic for later. When you have purchased a total of 3 Sun Shogun talismans of any type, cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet.

Grippli's Favor (Scions of the Sky Key II: Kaava Quarry): You have earned the recognition of the Krihirik tribe in the Kaava Lands, granting you a +2 bonus on Charisma-based checks made to influence gripplis.

In addition, this boon may be used in conjunction with other boons to grant one or more of your characters access to grippli-related options.

[ ] Heavenly Scholar (Shores of Heaven): Your experiences in Heaven have inspired you to change your philosophy. When you receive this Chronicle sheet, you can check the box that precedes this boon to change your patron deity to any legal lawful good deity, in the process changing your alignment to lawful good, lawful neutral, or neutral good. When you do so, you receive the benefits of an atonement spell without paying any associated costs.

Additionally, you may freely retrain any class abilities, feats, or other features that no longer function with your new deity, as well as character abilities that are directly tied to your old deity’s favored weapon, such as the Weapon Focus feat. This boon does not affect your character’s items.

[ ] Heaven’s Redemption (Shores of Heaven): Your studies of sacred scripture have enhanced your knowledge about matters of faith. If you are trained in Knowledge (religion), you can check a box that precedes this boon to add 1d6 to the result of one Knowledge (religion) check after rolling but before learning the results of your roll.

Alternatively, you can check a box before rolling a Knowledge (religion) check to treat that check as if you were trained in the skill. You can use both boxes on a single skill check.

[✓] Twin Tomes (Song of the Sea Witch): You may spend 1 Prestige Point to gain access to either the Celestial Song or Infernal Incantation while the Pathfinder Society researches their contents.

Your time spent poring over the chosen book’s pages grants you proficiency in either Celestial or Infernal (Celestial). Due to the many parties in the Pathfinder Society vying for time with the tomes, you may only research one of the two books.

Mercy’s Blessing (Twisted Circle): You survived the transformative power of Verdant Spark, and you now have a measure of protection against other conditions that would attempt to harm your body.

You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet to reroll a saving throw against a poison or disease and take the better result.

Nira’s Gratitude (Twisted Circle): If you do not take Nira as a familiar, you can still ask her to follow you. If you do so, you can coax her to remember some of her former abilities at great effort.

After you roll a Knowledge check, Perception check, or Sense Motive check but before the results are revealed, you can cross this boon off of your Chronicle sheet to roll a second time using Nira’s bonus instead (6 + your character level), representing Nira’s insights.

This act is mentally taxing, and Nira cannot provide this assistance more than once.

Enlightened Ambassador (Test of Tar Kuata): As a move action, you can enter a meditative trance that makes your senses more acute, your reflexes faster, and your mind more focused. The trance lasts for 1 hour, and you can end it (no action) at any point during this time to gain one of the following benefits: gain a +4 insight bonus on a saving throw against a mind-affecting effect, increase your speed by 10 feet for 1 round, or ignore concealment when making attacks for 1 round.

When your trance ends, cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet.

[ ] Averted Mauling (Midnight Mauler): By saving the half-elf courtesan Markov Rutowski in Ardis, you gain a political favor you can trade in while in Ustalav.

Within the Immortal Principality, you may trade this political favor for any non-magical item worth up to 400 gp, including but not limited to masterwork weapons and armor and courtier clothing and jewelry.

Master of Blades Saved (Midnight Mauler): By saving the life of famed adventurer and former Master of Blades Vonran Vilk, you have earned a permanent place in the Pathfinder Chronicles.

You gain a +4 circumstance bonus on Diplomacy and Intimidate checks when dealing with members of the Pathfinder Society of your level or lower when you mention this boon.

Reclaiming Memories (When Did The Madness Begin?): You can cast any of the spell-like abilities granted by the chosen boon by checking the listed number of boxes that precede it. For these spell-like abilities, use your character level as your caster level, and use the higher of your Wisdom or Charisma bonus to determine saving throw DCs and your bonus on concentration checks.

[✓] [✓] [ ] At the Asylum: Your time away from the halls of Briarstone Asylum has brought some clarity to your thoughts, or perhaps reminded you of an old madness. You remember meeting Count Lowls in a dark room in Briarstone several years ago, but why were you there? And why just recently did no one there seem to remember you?

You may check a box next to this boon to cast burst of insight. If you are at least 7th level, you may check two boxes to cast synaptic pulse (DC 14)

Reclaiming Memories (Where Did Things Go Wrong?): You can cast the spell-like ability granted by the chosen boon by crossing it off your Chronicle sheet.

For these spell-like abilities, use your character level as your caster level, and use the higher of your Wisdom or Charisma bonus to determine saving throw DCs and your concentration bonus.

Briarstone: With your memories returned, you know now that Briarstone Asylum was a part of your life even before you first encountered Count Lowls. Madness and the search for clarity are both a part of you in ways you’ve always suspected but never truly understood.

You may unleash the madness seething inside you by crossing off this boon as a standard action to cast greater synaptic pulse.

[ ] [ ] Clockwork Insight (Graves of Crystalmaw Pass): Your time in the temple of Brigh has given you insight into complicated mechanisms.

You can check a box that precedes this boon as a part of attempting a Disable Device check to disarm a trap to roll 1d6 and add the result to the result of your Disable Device check. You can instead check a box to grant yourself the ability to attempt a single Disable Device check against a magical trap, even if you would not normally be able to do so.

Alternatively, you can check a box when a trap triggers to add 1d6 to your AC or on your saving throw against the trap. When you check the last box, cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet.

[✓] [✓] [ ] Grave Treader’s Inspiration (Graves of Crystalmaw Pass): Grave Treader shared some of her wisdom and knowledge with you, which you can apply at opportune moments.

You can check a box that precedes this boon to use inspiration, as per the investigator ability (Pathfinder RPG Advanced Class Guide 31).

If you already have inspiration, you can check a box to increase your inspiration die by one step (from 1d6 to 1d8, or 1d8 to 1d10) for one roll.

Master Archivist (Fragments of Antiquity): Whenever you spend at least 1 hour studying in a library (not including libraries that no longer contain books, scrolls, or other research material) during a scenario, choose one Knowledge skill.

You gain a +2 competence bonus on trained checks with that skill, and you gain a +1 competence bonus on all other trained Knowledge checks. These benefits last for the rest of the day.

[ ] [ ] Paranoid Observer (Fragments of Antiquity): Your dealings with the soulslivers have left you somewhat on edge, constantly watching and listening for inconsistencies and other signs that the people around you may not be who they claim.

You can check a box next to this boon to gain a +2 competence bonus on all Perception and Sense Motive checks you make for the duration of a scenario.

Starmetal Stockpile (Returned to Sky): You found a large amount of rare skymetals (Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Technology Guide 56–57).

You can check the box that precedes this boon in order to purchase a single weapon or suit of armor made of horacalcum, noqual, or siccatite at its listed cost. You can only purchase one such item using this boon, even if you later sell the weapon or armor.

Rare Generator (Returned to Sky): You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet to restore 2 charges to a timeworn weapon, timeworn armor, or another timeworn device. If you have the Technologist feat, you instead restore 1d4+1 charges to the item.

This boon can only restore charges to a technological item that has at least 1 charge remaining.

The Paracountess's Debt (Fortress of the Nail): In thanks for freeing her from her infernal prison within Citadel Vraid, Paracountess Zarta Dralneen of Cheliax offers any single item you wish for, paid for out of her personal wealth rather than Chelish or faction resources. Choose one item worth up to 3,000 gp (Subtier 8-9) that you receive for free. This item is not restricted by your current Fame score, but must otherwise be an item that you could purchase. If the chosen item is worth less than the listed value, any difference is lost. (efficient quiver)

Respect of the Nail (Fortress of the Nail): You have earned the respect of the leadership of Varisia's Hellknight order, the Order of the Nail. At a future date, should you encounter members of this order, they will remember you for standing up for the law, even if doing so meant opposing them.

Preservationist (Reaver’s Roar): Even while being stalked by a Red Reaver in its lair, you were able to keep calm and protect the valuable historical and religious relics contained within the Bastion of Light.

You gain a +1 bonus to your CMD against disarm and sunder attempts, and spells you cast that would damage unattended objects in their area, such as fireball, do so only when you want them to.

Reaver of Reavers (Reaver’s Roar): Successfully slaying the fearsome Red Reaver of Roslar’s Coffer was no mean feat, and word of your victory has spread throughout all of Lastwall and beyond. When staying at an inn, you can almost always secure common quality lodging, meals, and stable services for free.

Darklands Delver (Captives of Toil): You gain a +2 bonus on all Knowledge checks related to dangers you encounter in the Darklands and can make those checks untrained.

This bonus increases to +4 for checks relating to duergar. Before making a Knowledge check related to duergar, you can decide to take 20 on the check. When you do, cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet.

Chapter of the Damned (Emerald Spire 10 – The Magma Vault): You may cross this entire boon off your Chronicle sheet to destroy the text and spare the world its evil. Doing so allows you to recover 1 previously spent Prestige Point, though it does not increase your Fame.

Automaton-Aided Convalescence (Emerald Spire 12 – The Automaton Forge): You have secured the gratitude of the Steward and its staff, and they are able to repair much of the damage you might sustain over the course of your adventures.

You may use this boon while in the River Kingdoms (or at the end of an adventure before receiving a Chronicle sheet or reporting the character as dead) to reduce the Prestige Point cost of any one spellcasting service of the conjuration (healing) subschool by 5 (minimum 0). When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.

Season 2 Explorer: Shadow Lodge Explorer (Basic): You gain Disguise as a class skill.

Season 3 Explorer: Ruby Phoenix Explorer (Basic): You gain Acrobatics as a class skill.

Extra Trait: You gain an extra trait from any legal source. This trait can not belong to the same type as one you already possess. (Guiding Spirit)

Traveler in an Unstable Timeline: Time itself has proven to be more malleable than you once believed. Whether it was exposure to the temporal tampering of the returning Runelords or some other force capable of bending the laws of time itself, you have temporarily traveled to a brief moment in your own past that allowed you to change a decision you once made.

Choose one of the following benefits granted by this boon and cross the other option off of your Chronicle sheet. This boon must be applied between adventures, rather than during an adventure. A character can only ever benefit from one copy of this boon.

• Replay: Your experiences no longer conform to the true history of Golarion. You may replay a single scenario you have already completed, though you must use a different character than the one you first played the adventure with. (Voice in the Void)

You must keep a copy of this boon with the character that received this benefit.

Riftwarden Magic (Port Godless): So long as you possess this boon, ALL of your PFS characters have access to the following spells from the Pathfinder Player Companion: Demon Slayer's Handbook as if they appeared on the Additional Resources page: anti-summoning shield, protection from outsiders, and telepathic censure.

Opportunistic Strike (Tales: Worldwound Gambit): At any time in the future, when fighting a creature of the demon subtype, you may recognize an opening for an opportunistic strike. As an immediate action, you may declare a single attack roll to be an opportunistic strike, allowing you to bypass the demon’s damage reduction of a value equal to your base attack bonus on a single attack. Once this attack has been made, the GM should cross off this boon.

DESCRIPTION

This battered, leather-bound book looks like an aged and heavily worn notebook. Anyone reading the journal for an hour or more has strange dreams the following night, the details of which he cannot remember. The following day the character is fatigued. Reading the journal for a total of 24 hours or more causes the reader to have a prophetic dream wherein he sees his own death — though, as before, he cannot remember the details. If a character who has had this vision comes near death at any point afterward, at the moment he is about to die he may reroll any failed saving throw made within the last round or force an opponent to reroll a killing attack. The character must accept the result of the second roll, regardless of its outcome.

Once a character has had the opportunity to avert death, regardless of its success or failure, the journal provides no more benefit and never aids the character again.

The dream journal of the pallid seer is affected by a permanent magic aura that makes it appear to be nonmagical.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
Craft Wondrous Item, guidance, magic aura; Cost 300 gp.

“Hello, my name is Zhang Chunhua. Please call me Chunhua, as my sisters do. I am originally from the village of Ashima in Shokuro, Tian Xia, where I was the fifth of seven daughters born to a poor, farming family.”

“I have always been tall and strong for my age, and as a result I ate rather a lot. My parents eventually sold me to a slaver, so that the rest of the family could survive.”

“I bear them no ill will. It was a simple matter of survival. Fortunately, I was purchased and immediately given my freedom by the village’s unofficial mayor – a retired bureaucrat from the Capital.”

“She offered me employment as a housekeeper while I served in the peasant militia, but also taught me Tien, Taldane, arithmetic, economics, sailing, horse husbandry and archery. Classes were conducted in her own home, with other children from all over Shokuro.”

“My final examination involved acting as messenger between my mistress and a team of Pathfinder field agents, working for the liberation and prosperity of my homeland, and her neighboring free states.”

“As a graduation gift, I was allowed to journey east to learn more about the faith of Erastil and to expand my perspectives via the Pathfinder Society.”
