And using strategy, particularly on as simple as the one you suggest, is certainly legal.

Thanks, yeah when comes to organized play I try to be careful. I wouldn't want to throw off the whole system.

Just try to play games together with your friend. So long as you stay reasonably close in level you should be able to plan on playing together your entire career. We have a group of 3 Half-orcs locally that do this (named Rough, Tough, and Buff).

You must each have your own account, though.

Ok thank you.

What!? How could someone even think of doing something like this?

In the case of assuming the identity of iconics or Venture Captains, I'd agree. That's not cool, but it's only my opinion and I'm curious what other people think, or even if they do it.

OTOH, I do kind of like the idea of minor NPCs "jumping" into the realm of PC shenanigans. How cool would it be to see Janira Gavix at your table, and get to see something other than that perpetual cycle of running from a minotaur added to your experience of her story? So long as the player isn't insisting on using that character in The Confirmation, obviously. Likewise it might be cool to see some minor villain from a scenario turn up. I have a character who helped turn in Celeena Deckland from The Infernal Vault in to justice. Her punishment was forced marriage to my (highly uncouth) barbarian. Hell, how much fun would it be to start a new character as Celeena, formerly of House Deckland? :D

To explain the joke, Fasch is one of the random throw-away example NPCs in City of Strangers that the GM can choose to use when the PCs are gathering information.

Good one

I decided it would be awesome if I could get someone and me to make characters built around helping each other to make an unstoppable team. But I am not entirely sure if/what rules cover this.

Here are my main questions:
1. Am I even allowed to plan on being at the same table as another player and build a character to work together?
2. If I am allowed to do this can I use my pathfinder society account for the characters but at the table I play one character and he plays one character?
3. Would using this strategy be considered cheating.

If this helps I will give a summary of this idea.

Their will be two dwarves one named Pain and one named Gain (no pain no gain). They grew up together and spent years training to fight using teamwork. Pain is a barbarian and Gain is a Bard. When they are in combat Pain will stand between Gain and the enemies while fighting them back. Gain will use his bardic performance to boost Pain (and other allies if they are in range)then shoot arrows at enemies. If Pain gets injured Gain will heal him with cure light wounds.

Thank you for reading, I am also open to suggestions as to how I can improve this strategy and make it better (even if it isn't society legal I can still use it in non society games).
