Multiple Identical Pregens

[Farnaby]

I'm going to run The Silverhex Chronicles soon and came up with the question what if, Gods forbid, I get a party of 6 Lini's.

Can I have multiple copies of the same pregen running in the same adventure?
As this is PFS I need a link to the ruling because I've searched and couldn't find it.

Thanks - Farnaby

Eyup. The pregen cloning vats never run out.

As long as they have different PFS numbers, no rule prevents two characters at the table having the same stats or the same name. The Guide to PFSOP does say that pregens are provided by the event organiser. While I wouldn't take that too far, I believe the rules would back you if you refuse.

It could be a hilarious roleplay opportunity. I can think of many possibilities from a Valeros flexing contest to a Harsk pit badger fight.

While Lini is never the best pregen option, multiple Lini pregens are amazing in concert.

Best pregen party of six is 5 Lini and Lem.

Well I gues it depends on the GM, but why would any GM, but I usually carry only one of each pregen (2 for some of the more popular ones, and I flat out refuse to give some of them to new players).

I imagine this might come up when a table of veterans sit down to a Core game.

For net new players I do try to control / shape their first experience. Limiting them to classes with more simple rules. Fighter, Sorcerer, Oracle, Cleric, Rogue. I won't say no if they really want to try something different, but I really try to steer folks away from Droogami and her pet and any other pregen with a pet or a situational ability.

I had twin brothers sit down at my table one time playing pregen amiri's. they treated it like hans and franz from SNL. it was pretty entertaining, even if they did stomp the boss in a single round in dalsine affair.

It was two or three rounds, you just never got to do much because you couldn't Spell Combat your way out of that Bag o' counters from the Oracle you couldn't see.

That isn't going to make them fight any harder, Flutter. Might as well sit back and grab some popcorn.

*Vrock flies off, leaving a very angry and wounded Tyrannosaurus Rex behind*

GM (me): "Let's see who the Rex goes for. There's three of you within equal biting distance."
Players: "Don't forget Harsk's badger!"
GM (me): Alright, there's four of you."

*Rolls a d4, gets a 4, everyone laughs*
*crits, confirms, grabs. Next round swallows whole*

Best contribution I've ever seen from Harsk.

[Slothsy]

I've seen an all-Harsk Silverhex table.

[Akari Sayuri "Tiger Lily"]

Saw Harsk be the MVP in one scenario. His perception score was several points higher than anyone else in the party, so he kept accomplishing all the skill checks for us :)

[Hrolf Pfellhammer]

An all-Harsk party would destroy level 1 of [Redacted Superdungeon].

If you have a 6-player table of We Be Goblins! then there's no way of avoiding it.

saw this a while bacl...

"A Core game of Bonekeep? We better do a party of Iconic Paladins...."

we later settled on two Seelah's, two Lini's and an Amiri. Did very well too, didn't loose anyone (not even a Droogami)

*badgers begin to blink and shake their heads groggily, now ignoring their former masters*

Well, as long as they're doing it because they WANT to...
