Some Pathfinder Society rules questions

Liberty's Edge

My regular PFS group is nearing or just made 10th level. I had already reached that level. In order for us to be able to play all the same scenarios, we wanted to be equal level. So I DMed the scenarios they needed to catch me.

I do not want to assign those scenarios to my character as that would defeat the purpose of them catching me. However, I do not have a character of high enough level to play those scenarios. How do I get credit for DMing them? Do I just wait until a character would be high enough level to get be able to play these scenarios then give that character credit for the scenario?

On another note. As I said our characters are 10th level. After we reach 12th level, can we play as many 12th level scenarios as we want since we won't level anyway?

Sorry to put this in General Discussion. I wasn't sure where to put this.

its cool. here is where you want to put it next time.
here is the link

as for your questions I am pretty sure you have to wait to apply the credit. not absolutely sure though.

for your next question, i am definitely not sure. sorry. someone will answer though. on that note though, you can only play a scenario once officially.
Why would you burn a cool 12th scenario that you wont be able to play again?
Maybe just for kicks, if your not interested in credit?
I could see that maybe. But still, when you level back up with your next set of characters, you could be short on mods to play at 12.

Well my wife and I started these characters during season 0. That should tell you how much we get to play PFS. (We are currently playing World's Largest Dungeon using Pathfinder rules)

But you raise a good point about why play a scenario I won't get credit for.

Sounds fun. I had a pretty awesome group back at home.

As for credit and level 12 scenarios, it all comes down to what you want.
If for say, you do not care about getting credit and just want to keep playing your characters at the expense of using that PFS module later. Ok, thats cool go ahead.
I understand wanting to keep playing a character you like and not shelving them.
Personally, I would take your 12th level characters and make a copy of their character sheets. Then grab a cool module, Paizo has several awesome ones. Play on with your 12th level characters unofficially and have a great time.
The making a copy of character sheets allows you to ensure that no unofficial stuff gets mixed in with your official character. That way you dont have to worry about it when a unique PFS event comes along for your retired characters.

SRHero is correct.

You make a chronicle for yourself at the time you run the adventure, and apply it to a character of the appropriate level when you have one.

So, for example, if you run a 7-11 scenario for 10th level characters, you take a chronicle, and may apply it to a character of level 7-11, giving the rewards appropriate for your character's sub-tier.

There is no time frame for applying the chronicle, but you can only ever use one for GM credit (and one for player credit).

On your other question: you may only take a 12th level character thru one "series" of 12th level scenarios (ex Eyes of the Ten). After this, the character is retired, tho there may be special events in future which will be run for retired characters.

Great. Thanls a lot guys.

I have another question.

I have DMed some PFS adventures at cons and gamedays. The organizers told me that he would report these senarios but never did. Can I report them now? Some of these were run over a year ago.

Also, how does one become a 4 star DM?

GM 100 PFS scenarios. All need to be reported.

There is no statute of limitations on when a session can be reported unless we retire the scenario in question, in which case it can be reported up until it is retired. If you don't have the player numbers and details of the year-old tables, you're out of luck, but if you have them, create a new event and report the sessions as if you were the original organizer.
