roll4initiative, which race boon in particular are you talking about?
GM reward Winter 2013: Elemental Ancestry (water) allows to create an Undine PC.
My Undine got killed early in Risen From the Sands yesterday. Luckily, the other party members pooled their gold to have him resurrected. Just wondered for future reference.

Oh, can you play your own characters in Risen From the Sands?
I thought you were limited to the pregens.
I don't know how this rumor got started but its probably caused a lot of deaths.
Players who wish to receive
Pathfinder Society credit for playing
through Risen from the Sands must use
either one of their Pathfinder Society
characters (without modification)
within the legal character level range for
the module or one of the pregenerated
characters provided on pages 12–15 of the
module.

We warned people that if they played their own society characters they were taking that character's life in their own hands. Only one person didn't listen, and she was REALLY rethinking her decision when it was on the cusp of a TPK. Luckily the TPK didn't happen, but it was a lesson learned that when the GMs tell you, "this is going to be hard," listen to them...

Thanks, Cartmanbeck, I knew it was in that thread, but was too lazy to actually look for it.

It sounds to me like you almost scared your players into a TPK. A lot of the issues that many people had with Risen had to do with the inability of half of the pregens to deal with hardness, along with other issues with the pregens being out of their league in this scenario. I think a mixed party of pregens and PFS characters shouldn't have nearly as much trouble with the scenario.

Big bowl of Nope Cereal, coming right up.
Having played a session 0 with two pregens (Investigator and Swashbuckler) and two random PFS characters, it was murderous. It wasn't until the Investigator died and a player picked up the Bloodrager did things start to equal out.
We had two sessions on Saturday, the first had the Investigator, the Bloodrager, Swashbuckler, two Warpriests and the PFS Magus. That was about 2 rounds from a TPK.
The second table was best table with six player table that had two Investigators, two Warpriests, and one each of the Swashbuckler and Bloodrager. That combo did just fine.
No one scared anyone out of, or into, anything.
