Hi folks --
My husband and I are going to Paizo Con this weekend and were hoping to have the ability to play in some games! But all of the level 1 games seem to be filled. Is it possible to create or find pre-gens for levels above 1 in order to play in these games?
We have both been playing and running Pathfinder games with friends for many years (basically since release) but do not have any experience with Pathfinder society. :)
Thank you!
Thanks folks. Found the ones on the download page, but yeah, they are pretty limited. Would be awesome if the NPC Codex characters were legal. :)

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: NPC Codex
The 1st and 7th level iconic characters found on pages 274-297 may be used in place of the downloadable pregenerated characters found on Paizo.com. The 12th level iconics are not permitted for PFS play. The text in the box on page 275 should be noted before using the iconic characters.
The section of box text referenced says:
PATHFINDER SOCIETY ICONICS
The Pathfinder Society Organized Play program has a few special restrictions on certain feats, class abilities, and equipment in order to make sure the worldwide campaign goes smoothly. If you’re using one of these iconic characters as a PC in a Pathfinder Society game and the PC has one of the restricted options, you can’t use that option in the game. See the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play (a free download from paizo.com/pathfindersociety) for more information on these restrictions. The restrictions should have a very minor impact on the iconic PCs, and the characters are otherwise ready to use in Pathfinder Society.
I don't know off-hand of any restrictions that currently would apply to the Iconics as found in the NPC Codex, but I could be wrong ...
In my opinion the NPC Codex pregens are significantly better than the original ones. There are also NPC Codex pregens for the bard, paladin, monk and witch classes.

So basically could we get a VC or GM to confirm that NPC Codex Iconics are fair game?
You really don't need confirmation; it's pretty clearly spelled out in the Additional Resources (a Paizo-supplied official PFS reference) that the (level 1 and level 7) Iconics from the NPC Codex are PFS-legal.

There you go. Just make sure you own an NPC Codex, that you can show to your GM, if he asks. Since you can't legally play one of those Iconics, without owning the book. And as always, have fun.
TY Adam for the confirmation, its appreciated that you read it and confirmed it, since I'm not that good at all the legal rulings.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a folder containing printouts of the NPC Codex Iconics. They're legal for anyone to play at my table, of course, because I have the book (and the PDF is on my tablet or laptop).
At another table it might be a different story. But you don't take the same pregen from table to table, anyway.
P.S. Apparently there is at least one thing on an NPC Codex Iconic that is not permitted in PFS; Ezren is shown as having the "Scribe Scroll" ability.
Own it already for lazy day GMing purposes. :) So not a problem for us! Thanks for the tip, though. We might not have brought it along if we had not known.
