Do I have too many Achievement Points?

[Ravingdork]

So I had my first ever 2e PFS game yesterday. I'm happy to say it went really well! I gained 4 Achievement Points!

However, when I went online to see the list of Boons, it has me listed as having 84 Achievement Points!!!

Is that normal for someone just starting out; do you have a starting pool of 80 points?

Or perhaps they spill over from 1st Edition, or from Starfinder? I do happen to have a handful of Starfinder PFS games and a whole bunch of 1st Edition PFS games under my belt.

I'm thinking not though, since Starfinder is separately listed as having 88 points.

As someone only beginning to understand the new (to me) PFS systems, I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.

EDIT: Since writing this post 20 minutes ago, my SFS Achievement Points have jumped to 92...

I am thoroughly confused.

Yes! Not long ago, there was an 80 AcP grant for all current and new players! It helps in bringing back your character in case of an untimely death (I think resurrection boon was 40acp?) or it can help you start out with a cool uncommon ancestry (most of those cost 80 acp) or some other fancy things.

That being said, levels 1-2 are the most dangerous ones in society scenarios, especially the early scenarios, since some of the (solo boss) combats are a bit overtuned: I would advice one not to purchase an uncommon ancestry until you have 40 extra acp saved up for a resurrection - or purchasing and applying it when your character gets to 12 xp, since you can freely rebuild your PC until your first game at level 2, which means you can go with a safe free option such as human for the first level, and become a ysoki or something when you reach level 2 and death is much less likely.

Thanks!

That clears up where the +80 came from!

As for the rapidly expanding SFS Achievement Points, it appears to be an error related to my GM reporting. It seems to go up every time I edit the entries in an attempt to correct inaccurate information.

Attempting to get it sorted out now.

You got 80 for Starfinder as well.

Still seems off. I GM'd ONLY two sessions for Starfinder and it has me listed as having 100 points. Isn't that like at least a dozen too high?

You get double points for GMing. There’s also point bonuses if you play or run at convetions.

[Ravingdork]

Ooh. That's a pretty nice incentive.
