Question about the application of an Adventure Path Chornicle to a Society Character


Pathfinder Society

1/5

I admit that my understanding of Society Rules might be a little dated at this point in time considering my leap of absence from my local gaming store. With that thought in mind, I consult the boards in hopes that I might be able to find an answer to my current question.

My question is as follows:

Inquiry wrote:
What occurs when a player applies an Adventure Path Chronicle to a player currently sitting at 2.5 XP and having chosen the Slow Advancement track for their current level? I understand that they gain 1.5 XP and that this in turn grants them a level, but are they allowed to switch over from the Slow Advancement track to the Regular Advancement track at this point in time

I get the feeling that the answer is yes, but I just wanted to make sure. I hate assuming things and then having it come back to bite me in the end.

Thank you for your time,
Joshua Hirtz

Unfortunately, no. You need to make the change to slow advancement from normal, or normal from slow, at the very start of a level. In the case of AP's and modules, this can mean you can overshoot this mark and it will lock you in for at least one more level.

I'll see if I can find where this is spelled out in the Guide here.

EDIT:

the Guide pg. 29 wrote:

If a character earns more XP than

she needs to reach her next level, she may not choose to
switch advancement tracks at the new level earned.

Ah-ha, so there is a ruling for it already. Thank you for the quick response and for giving me a direct quote as well.
