Quite frankly, I suspect it's because that many of us have already done this at least once unofficially to help out a newbie,or a gaggle of them on their first day at tournament play. Which may have been their first time playing any roleplaying sort of game as well. Maybe Paizo doesn't quite realise this, but we are going to have people show up at these events with absolutely no gaming experience at all, but yet decide to dive in feet first.
I most certainly realize it. I observed new players jumping in feet first at every convention I organized in Atlanta (some with more than 120 tables). I also observed it even more at monthly game days in stores where we ran more than 50 tables each month at local game days across 9 stores.
It is why I scheduled four tables every slot at Gen Con of the Beginner Box Demos where each player will receive a printed copy of the PFS character creation guide using the Beginner Box after they play all four demos and have an hour for questions and answers built into the slot. They will then be advised by their GM of how to become involved in PFS and First Steps (all three parts are scheduled with multiple tables each slot), and be issued a PFS card.
We are very cognizant of new players jumping in feet first and I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for these new players.

Campaign wide changes are reserved for the Guide. The FAQ is reserved for when we want to clarify rulings and the like. Allowing this fits into the campaign wide change.Wanted to bump this to see if there's any news on if/when this might be implemented.
If it's something that's going to go through, is there any chance it could be implemented via FAQ/blog instead of waiting for the next version of the Guide?
The current guide says any exceptions will be found in the FAQ, but so far I can find no FAQ on this. Correct to presume that this means there are currently no exceptions?
