Switching Characters

The Exchange

I had the opportunity to play at a convention for a Pathfinder game. Unfortunately, I was unable to make the character I am currently using for my first game. So I used the pregen fighter for my first session and my current character, a ranger, for the next session.

I was told that within the first two sessions I can change characters and transfer that experience to my current character. This would change the current level of my character. I've looked into the Organized Play PDF and I don't see any thing to prove that this is true.

Am I blind or am I correct that it really effects my character. If I could just get a reference I can justify leveling my character.

At this time there is no way to transfer or combine experience from different characters. If you have two registered characters or a single character and a pregen, their experience does not stack.

Note that's "at this time". Josh has said that as of the next revision of the guide, he is including some form of rules for continuing after playing with a pregen for your first mod, and he's said that guide should be out by no later than the end of the month. So....stay tuned to this channel and hopefully you'll get to keep some stuff :)

Just saw the updated GPSOP. I does say in there you can go from pregen to a character with minor changes. Going from one class and race to another is not a minor change, So I believe that at this time, it is not possible. But I appreciate the responses.


I'm working on additional rules that will be out with the next update that specifically address the issue of rebuilding your character before a certain point. They need additional thought and my hope is to release them along with information about a future "starter pack" for the Society.
