What can one do with their prestige points?

I know this has probably been answered elsewhere

My 11 level mystic Theurge with 31 experiences has 46 prestige points. He may very well get squashed squished reduced to a little pile of dust by a disintegrate spell in his next adventure. I’m just curious what i can do with his prestige points. Thanks

I save them for "oh s@++" moments.

Congratulations, you earn 23 Wands of Cure Light Wounds,

and a puzzled look from your fellow Pathfinder associates
who wonder why it took you this long to use your Prestige.

Mostly you save up 16 for 'life insurance' then you spend the rest if you're confident you'll only die the once. Also helps with needing certain items/spells/favors when away from immediate help.

I played with someone who after a disasterous run ended up with a disease he wasn't able to shake and no money using his prestigue for a remove disease spell.

There will be a lot of fun new things to spend Prestige on in Season 3. Keep an eye on the Monday blogs between now and GenCon for more information, and be sure to preorder the Pathfinder Society Field Guide for a whole slew of them in once place.

Thorn DJL7, Maze, NotMousse and Mr. Moreland thank you all for your answers.

Thorn DJ7I had my first oh $%!# moment I was playing the trouble with secrets. My character, (now a cleric 3 of Pharasma /Necromancer 3- Mystic theurge 5), was fighting a

Spoiler:
vampire
. He cast a consecrate spell and the creature of darkness was very "honked off" and moved over and gave my character a beating that sent his spirit to the Halls of Pharasma. 16 spent prestige points and one raise dead spell later, my character returned to the land of the living.

NotMousse, after that beating visited upon my character by that creature of darkness, I decided, the “life insurance” was an excellent idea, so I began hoarding my prestige points in case I need a resurrection spell.

Maze, my character doesn’t need 23 wands of cure light wounds, I find ironically, it is my Negative Energy channeling cleric of Asmodeus who is burning through wands of cure light wounds. I do however have my eyes on a nice flying carpet my character saw in a suq in Katheer. He was told it was a real bargain at 20,000 “special price for you”
Could he spend his prestige points to buy something like that flying carpet? Its on a chronicle sheet.

Mr. Moreland, thank you. I am looking forward to see what interesting things you guys have in store for us. I did notice in the faction guide, that with 40 TPA, with the Pathfinder Society, the Decemverate might consider you for a venture captain. But then this would be for a home campaign, and my character's prestige points are with the Andoran Faction, not the Pathfinder Society.

again thank you for your answers

Ironically, if the carpet is on a Chronicle Sheet, you don't even need to meet the TPA normally required to purchase it.

However, since the spending limit, at present, for PA conversion to gold-equivalent for items is 750 GP, you would still have to buy the carpet with gold, not PA.

And we won't mention that items bought with the 1 or 2 PA purchase option (150 or 750 GP max) attain a resale value of 0 GP...

Callarek,
thank you. At 31 XP My character realistically only has two adventures left (assuming he survives). It would have been nice to liquidate the prestige points i have hoarded to get something fun for his efforts. a flying carped would most likely be useless, but it might be fun. I guess we don't get nice things. we get dead drops and targets from our factions, and if we are Particularily efficient, they might bother to ressurect us.

It has been fun playing this character. Ironically i had never intended to play him past 3rd level. I never expected to get beyond 3rd level.

again thanks for your help. Perhaps i should wait untill after Gen Con, when season 3 starts, and then as MR morland has suggested there will be more options on what to spend prestige points on.

Thank you

Your character has two more scenarios ahead of him at level 11, then 4 scenarios (one of which is a double-length scenario) in his retirement arc. Throughout that 12th level adventure arc, he'll still be gaining and possibly spending Prestige, and even beyond 12th level, well, I'll wait before we reveal too much.
