Ned help with mistake I made playing PFS recently...

[gamerdork]

Hello, not sure whom to ask for help so figured someone here could direct me. This past weekend I played in two PFS scenarios at a convention, and received the sheets at game end from the gm. All is well there.

I do not yet have an official PFS character, so it was explained to me by the gm's that I could apply the benefits of the two sessions (played with Pregen characters) to my first character that I create and register on the site. So I wrote in "-1" on the prepare slips. It would seem that all is well.

The mistake I made is that I forgot that I had played a scenario at Gen Con three years ago, and thus already had a "-1" character. I don't care a bit about that character (also a Pregen, I am sure) and therefore would not want these two recent bonuses (some gold and two xp, I think) applied to it, but rather to a new character I want to build. Apparently I should have written "-2" on those little slips, but alas I had forgotten about the session I played three years ago.

Sorry to ramble, and to the question now: is there some way that someone can fix this for me? Delete or kill my character "-1"? Or apply my new stuff to my not-yet-registered character "-2"?

Thanks and happy gaming!

Assuming that these were regular scenarios, rather than longer Sanctioned Modules, then that -1 character has 3 XP. If you check out the Guide to Organized Play (which you really should, if you plan to continue playing PFS), you'll see that there's a rule that allows you to change anything about your character before you play it at second level.

That means that you can go ahead and put the credit for all three of those games on the same character, and not worry about what pregen or character you played them with. You can essentially start a character from scratch, and apply all the gold, XP, and Prestige Points you earned. Do you still have the chronicle sheet from that old Gen Con game?

Your best bet would be to contact the coordinator of the event you played at and ask them about it. They should be able to help.

Alternatively, if you only played one session on your -1 last time, you could put all the chronicles on the same character, and take advantage of the 1st level rebuild rules (where you can completely rebuild a character as long as you have not yet played it at level 2) and build something you actually want it to be, and at level 2 even.

You would keep the gold, Fame, item access, and experience, but could rebuild just about everything else about the character (specifics are in the Guide to Organized Play).

Hope that helps!

Both very helpful responses, thanks so much!

I really should get to reading the PFS play guide, but wanted to try a couple of events first to make sure I might remain interested in playing organized play events.

Game on!
