Question on Level 2 Retraining, RE Gold


Pathfinder Society


Hi -

I know in the handbook it says:

"You are able to keep all treasure, Prestige Points, special
boons, and XP that you have earned and apply them to
the character once you retrain as long as the character
meets the criteria above."

But here's my question:

Let's say I'm ready to go to Level 2. I've accumulated a total of 505+538+509 in my first 3 adventures for a total of 1552. Including starting gold of 150 that's 1702.

Do I get to "rebuy" all of my equipment? In other words, would I have a total of 1702 GP to spend on the 2nd level character, or would it be whatever gold is left as a result of the spending I've gone through in my first 3 levels?

Seems like the latter to me is more realistic, but it does say "all treasure" so the former gives more gold to spend in the 2nd Level rebuild (since you wouldn't have to sell back things for half-price).

I've poked around the threads for an answer but was unable to find anything specific addressing this query, so I appreciate the help!

You've got it right, you get that 1702 gp (minus any single use items like potions and alchemist's fire that you've used during that first level) to make any final purchases for whatever character you decide on.


So no need to sell stuff back for half-price? Just subtract the cost for single-use items that were purchased/used then buy away as if that's your starting gold?

That seems like a pretty sweet deal... Wish I had known that out for my first character!

Don't forget that you still have to abide by the fame limitations (likely 500gp @ L2) for stuff that isn't "always available" or on your chronicle sheets.


Oh, also, what about conditions cleared? Those should be subtracted, too, yes?

yes , those are one time things.

Just to clarify, you are selling anything that you have purchased, that is not a partly or fully used consumable, for purchase price, instead of half price; so you get that 1702 you mentioned, less consumabls used, but no equipment, other than the remainder of the partly used consumables.

Examples:
So, you were wearing a set of studded leather for 1st level, you get the 25 gp back, but lose the studded leather.

You bought a quiver of 20 arrows, and shot 5 of them, you have still spent the 1 gp, but retain the 15 arrows left.
