Pathfinder Society


Hi i played Two pathfinder Soceity games one in 2012 and one last week i was curious do i put any information about my character.

Session one i was a dwarf Witch of the Shadow faction where we did some rescue from a warehouse, i really didn't like the witch so i scarped her.

The second character (a premade) i got was this Gnome Druid named Nini so do i record the information anyways, no faction on this character. So what do i do from here fo i put any information online and if so where?

well, until you play the character at 2nd level, you can completely redesign anything you want about your character. So assuming all three games were played with the same character number, you now have a single character, with 3 XP + whatever else you got on your chronicles.

Make whatever last changes you want to the character, level them up to level 2, and go forward from there.

However, from now on, if you want to start over, you will have to start a brand new character, with no chronicle sheets, and build them up all over again with a new character number. (the character number is your PFS number, a dash, and a number. So my PFS number is 92600. My 6th level bard-alchemist gormheir is 92600-1, Niel Markey, my 2nd level barbarian/blight druid is 92600-3, etc.


Well i dunno my character since the dm took the sheet away once the campaign was over so i had no idea what my stats and spells are now

All i know my last random character the GM handed me was Nini a Gnome Druid with a Snow Leopard as an animal companion

i tihnk this was it

Forget about the stats for the characters you played in the past. The second was what is called a pre-generated character, or pre-gen, and is designed only to give newcomers a chance to play.

Do you have the chronicle sheets from those two games? You should have a sheet for each game you played. It lists how much gold, prestige, and experience you earned. If you do NOT have these, you should try to get in touch with the event coordinator, or one of your local Venture Officers.

If you DO have those sheets, then you are in grat shape. You should make a 1st-level character, following the guidelines set out in the Guide to Pathfinder Society, which you can download for free from this site. Your character will start with 150 gp plus the amount you earned from the two chronicle sheets.


i have two they both say +2 Priestage and one say +2 the other says +600 gp

Perfect! Those are the important thing.

Do you have a PFS number?

There used to be no retraining rules: you made a character and you were stuck with it. Then they let you retrain for free at first level, and you can retrain ANYTHING. So for your first adventure you can show up as a halfling barbarian. For your second adventure you can retrain into a druid.. including copying the pre gen druid exactly, and for your third adventure you can be a human wizard.

When you play your 4th adventure (which will be your first game as a second level character) your character becomes set more or less in stone. Then you need to worry about not losing the character sheet.

So it doesn't matter what you played before (because you were first level), make what you want to play and apply both chronicle sheets to it.

So what do you want to make?

I cannot overstate how good of an idea a three ring binder with plastic sheets is. You can keep your character and the chronicles in order , especially when you get multiple characters

technically the DM is supposed to scribble that in but they usually leave it off or just circle something up top.

On the first sheet

Under starting gold write in 150

upper right hand corner of the sheet should have something that says subtier 1-2 and some gold amount next to it. Circle that amount. Use that amound for Gp gained. Subtract any gold you spent. That becomes the new total at the bottom of the page.

on the second sheet, do the same thing but the starting gold is the amount from the end of the last sheet instead of 150.

There's a picture in the guide

You really don't have to put anything online, its more for online games/your own preference how much is put online. The important thing is the paper sheets, and keeping those completed. Just make sure to download the free Guide to Organized Play, read through it (most players it seems ignore that part) and it should answer most of your questions.
