Okay I know that if I GM a higher level scenario e.g. 3 to 7 and I don't have a character in that range yet that I can hold onto the GM reward Chronicle sheet and apply it to my character when they do reach level 3.
However, what about GM reward Chronicles that could be applied to your current character now, but you want to postpone so that you could either keep playing current level, or because you want to apply GM Chronicles in a different order than the chronilogical order in which they were earned.
The situation I have is that I just ran two Level 1 to 5 scenarios at Conceptionm 2012. I applied the GM reward Chronicles to a character I have not yet created (as my character died in a scenario the previous day). However, I have been asked to run some PFS for a local group and thought it would be a good idea to start with the First Steps trilogy.
However as the First Steps scenarios are only for Level 1 characters, if I applied my two con Chronicles to my new character first, I could only apply ne of the First STeps Chronicles to the character before he hits level 2 and becomes ineligable for the other First Steps Chronicles.
So in summary, assuming I do not play my new character until after I have run the First Steps scenarios, can I apply the Chronicles in the following order:
First Steps PT 1
First Steps PT 2
First Steps PT 3
Quest for Perfection PT 1
Quest for Perfection PT 2
Even though I GMed them (and thus earned the chronicles in the following order)?
Quest for Perfection PT 1
Quest for Perfection PT 2
First Steps PT 1
First Steps PT 2
First Steps PT 3

By the RAW, GM credit chronicles must be applied immediately (unless the GM does not have a PC of the appropriate level, in which case they can be held). So yes, they do have to be applied in date order.
However, common consensus seems to be that people don't mind too much as long as it's not abused.
Previously discussed in this thread.

What you could do is make another character and do the following.
New Character
Quest for Perfection PT 1
Quest for Perfection PT 2
Another New character
First Steps PT 1
First Steps PT 2
First Steps PT 3
Therefore have a PC with all 3 of the first steps and in the proper chronicle order.
If the games have already been reported and you did not control the reporting you can contact the person who reported them to change it to credit for a different PC.

Well, I already have a 4th level character but chose not to apply the Quest for Perfection credits to him, because I want to play through the remainder of his 4th and 5th level (as those are the scenarios easiest to get to play in). Theoretically should I have applied the QfP chronicles to this character?
Anyway I chose to apply the QfP chronicles to me as yet uncreated 5th character (I never played my first character, and my third and fourth are now dead). I did this because I hate 1st level and want to get to 2nd for the extra buffer of hit points.
I guess although its seems many people would be okay with it, if I want to be by the book I will have to apply the First Steps credits to another character I have yet to create :( Either that or not run the First Steps trilogy for my group by alternate level 1 to 5 scenarios (that may be my best option I guess).
Thanks for the replies.
Just remember that with almost all the Tier One scenarios/modules, there is not the normal limit of 1 and 1 for chronicles. For example, if you run and/or play through the First Steps series 10 times, then you have 10 characters who have those 3 chronicles.
Also, what you can do with your new character, if you want him to have the rewards from the third part of First Steps, is make another new character, apply parts one and two to him, give part three to the other character who already has the two chronicles from QfP, then run First Steps part three again and give it to the character with parts one and two. So while you should play through multi-part scenarios with the same character, GM credits do not need to be treated the same way, unless there is a rule I am missing somewhere.
