Now Possible to advance a character through 3 APs and get to 18

[The Masked Ferret]

With the release of the Carrion Crown AP as playable in PFS, it is now possible to advance a character from 1-18 in PFS only by playing these 3 APs. The APs are 'Reign of Winter', 'Carrion Crown', and 'Rise of the Runelords'. Below is a general list of the order of play. There are a couple of places where the order can be swapped, due to overlapping level ranges.

As far as I can tell, these are the only 3 APs that can be combined in this way currently. Reign of Winter is the only AP with a 1-2 mod, so it is required. All of the rest of the combinations I came up with had major overlaps in the 11-13 range. Rise of the Runelords is the only AP that does not have an 11-13 mod.

01 - Reign of Winter #1 (1-2)
02 - Carrion Crown #1 (2-4)
03 - Rise of the Rune Lords #1 (3-5)
04 - RotRL #2 (4-6)
05 - RoW #2 (5-7)
06 - CC #2 (6-8)
07 - CC #3 (7-9)
08 - RoW #3 (8-10)
09 - RotR #3 (8-10)
10 - CC #4 (9-11)
11 - RoW #4 (11-13)
12 - CC #5 (11-13)
13 - RotR #4 (12-14)
14 - RoW #5 (13-15)
15 - CC #6 (13-15)
16 - RotR #5 (14-16)
17 - RoW #6 (15-17)
18 - RotR #6 (16-18)

Well that would make for a very interesting story.

[Darius Silverbolt]

mmm that sounds rather fun.

Actually, from my count that leaves you at level 19. You start at level 1, not zero ;)

[The Masked Ferret]

Sure, Carlos, you are right.i just wish that I could find 1 more mod to round it and make it level 20. witchwar legacy would be perfect, but it is a 16-18, and I haven't seen a PFS legal adventure for a 19th level character.

Race for the Runecarved Key is playable at any level. It is currently the only playable anything in PFS at lvl 19.

Is it a 1 XP Mod?

yes

You could intersperse this character's post 12 career with Siege of the Diamond City, the new Gencon special (presumably), and cap it with Race for the Runecarved key -- each of these being worth 1 XP a piece -- and finish at level 20.

Although I don't really know why you'd want to. It's not like you can play anything at that level anyway.

But you'd have a level 20 PFS PC. That in itself is worth the effort for many.

Note that Siege of the Diamond city caps at 15 and it's possible that this year's special might not have post retirement play. (unknown at this point)

[The Masked Ferret]

Well, if you play any 2 of the 1 xp mods or Scenarios out there (start with the repeatables, perhaps), and then Finish with Runecarved Key, you will be at 20. Yay! Pointless Bragging Rights!

Or, if they ever release a lvl 20 mod... you are there, my friend!

Ahh, of course! :P

There is also the XP that can be gained by GMing your faction's retirement scenario before the deadline. I have a feeling that we'll be seeing quite a few Level 20 PCs this year if Qadira is retired.

Wait. Is this a possibility?

(Sorry for the off topic post.)

That would be epic.
