Registering Characters


Pathfinder Society

Sovereign Court 3/5

If I plan on playing a character with just some friends of mine (not sure if they are running a Pathfinder Society Campaign or just a regular Pathfinder campaign), should I still register that character just like I do for my regular PFS character?

Can't hurt!

You could register it afterwards, if need be, so long as YOU have a number.

While you could certainly use your PFS character in a non-PFS home game if the GM allows it, it would basically be a copy of your PFS character as you would not be able to modify that PFS character in any way since it would not earn a Chronicle sheet for the adventure.

On the other hand, you may not use a non-PFS character at a PFS table and all characters in a PFS adventure must be PFS characters for the game to count as a PFS game.

Of course, there is nothing stopping a GM from using a PFS scenario for a home brew game. You just wouldn't get a Chronicle sheet for it.

Don, your statement is not, quite, comprehensive. There is an exception on gaining a chronicle for a PFS character when playing or running non-PFS PCs through sanctioned material.

IF your GM is running one of the two sanctioned Adventure Paths, Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition or Shattered Star, as a home game, you can still earn Chronicle Sheets that can be applied to PFS PCs, even though your AP PCs are not, themselves, PFS legal.

The sessions would have to have an event code and reported to the website - right?

It would be preferred that GMs report all their sessions properly.

Yes. If you're playing an AP as a home game with the character 'Jock', and applying the chronicle sheets you're earning to your PFS character 'Mack', it's Mack that you need to register as a PFS character on the Paizo site, not Jock.
