GM and Pre-gen Credit for Retirement Scenarios

[Zauron13]

This may have been asked before, but I couldn't find it, but I'll happily be proved wrong.

I heard with the know direction podcast that a GM with a character higher than the level tiers available for Rivalry's End and Way of the Kirin could still get the boon for their character. I have the following questions (assume the character is of the appropriate faction):

1. If I GM a retirement scenario, can I apply the credit to a higher than tier level character to get the boon?

2. If I GM, can I apply the credit to a lower than tier character to get the boon?
2a. Would I be reducing the earnings or would I be allowed to hold off on applying until proper level, but still get the boon?

3. If I play a Pre-gen, can I apply that credit to a new character to get the boon?
3a. Would I follow the typical reduction rules (bring gold down to 500, loose all items), or a similar thing as holding credit till character hits the right level?

Thanks for any responses!

Take a look here:

When a Faction Turns Out the Lights

So the answers are:

1. Yes

2. Yes, as long as the character reaches 3rd level before the enforced faction change (14 Aug 2013)
2a. Hold off until 3rd level; get the boon if that happens before 14 Aug 2013

3. No, pregens are always Grand Lodge
3a. Not applicable

Thanks! I don't think I'll get a lantern lodge in time then.
I'll make sure to read that thread.
