Prestige, pregens + L1 Retraining


Pathfinder Society

1/5

I can't seem to find a clear and concise explanation of how L1 retraining and the use of pre-generated characters affects prestige. (My google-fu is not what I wish it was.)

If you play a pre-gen and randomly pick a faction to play for (or get assigned one by the GM, generally the Grand Lodge) when you apply that Chronicle Sheet to a *new* PFS PC, what happens to that prestige? Is it hard coded as the faction you played? Do you just assume it to be prestige for the faction you ultimately select? Can you request that the prestige be ported over to the PCs true faction? Does it matter if that selection happens before or after reaching L2 and moving past the retraining threshold?

Also, if you play a new PC once or twice as one race/class/faction and retrain it to something completely different, is there a way to make use of that prestige or is it wasted deadweight in spite of the freedom to completely redefine your character?

Thanks in advance for clearing this up for me.

if you change faction during a rebuild you keep your prestiege for your new faction

Grand Lodge 5/5

I believe when Prestige is reported under a particular Faction it "counts" toward that Faction, but the character gets to use it as if it was part of the Faction they eventually decide on after a level 1 rebuild.
