Really early character death & replaying?


Pathfinder Society

Liberty's Edge 1/5

I had a character die 2.5 rounds into the first encounter of a scenario (I was attacked, I attacked, I was attacked again, I attacked again, tried to move away but ate an AoO, and was dead-dead at that point), as my character was Level 4, and I had poured all my GP & Prestige into trying to make him as powerful a Fighter as possible (weapons, armor, etc.), I didn't have the resources to bring him back, so I figured he was a write-off, and said sorry to my fellow players, wished them well, and left the online session where we were playing, then & there. As such, since I saw all of pretty much nothing in that scenario, could I replay it without having to burn my 1 GM Star to do so? Thanks to any & all for any help with this...

Do you have a chronicle for the session? Were you reported present and dead for the scenario? If the answer is yes to either of those questions, then unfortunately, you cannot replay that scenario.

Sorry, no.

There is nothing in the guide that for the purposes of replay differentiates between dying in the first encounter and dying at the end fight. The only rules I'm aware of where it matters how far you got is the XP reward.

I had the same sort of thing happen to me once. You still get a chronicle (although since you didn't play 3 encounters, you get no XP for it), and you can't replay it.

But you may want to check back with the other players. If they had enough between them, they might have been able to pool their cash for a raise dead for you.

No disrespect to Horseman, but it doesn't matter if the death was reported or if he received a Chronicle. We play under the honor system. Just because there may have been a bureaucratic mistake doesn't mean he gets a do-over. Carlos knows he played the scenario. Splitting hairs about how much he actually absorbed from 2.5 rounds of participation is a distraction. Fortunately he's earned a GM Star (thanks for your service, Carlos!) and can burn it to play it again for credit.
