Character Retraining

[saladful]

Alright, so I feel ridiculously dumb for asking this, since it seems like something I should know, but I couldn't find a precise answer so I have to:

It states in the guide to PFS play "Before you level up a character for the first time, you may change any aspect of it [...]"

Does "before you level up [...] for the first time" mean "after three adventures before ascending to level 2" or "any number of times between adventures as long as it's before level 2"?

For example: After playing him for one scenario worth 1 XP, I want to respec my Barbarian into a Wizard, because I was so bamboozled by the magnificent tricks of arcane casters or something. Do I have to get 3 XP first and respec him on level-up, or can I do so immediately before playing his second scenario?

Thanks for taking the time to answer this.

Cheers

It's the second one. During the period of time your character has not yet been played above level 1, you can change it as much as you like between scenarios.

Before you play the character at 2nd level.
So yes you could do your first as a Barbarian then play the next as a Wizard, then the 3rd as monk. Then level to 2nd as a something different but then have to stay that way. (or use the other retraining rules)

Fantastic, thanks for the quick answer. I figured it might be the second one, but with PFS I always like to be absolutely sure first.
