"Well, you have probably heard of me...I'm kind of a big deal"-The Most Famous by Faction

[Cfoot]

I was playing a scenario in which Major Colson Maldris appears and a new player said, "Who's that?" and the answer was, "He's the faction head for Liberty's Edge and the most famous Eagle Knight". That got me thinking. I have a 19th level Eagle Knight, I bet he is pretty famous. So for fun, who is the most famous member of each faction (as determined by Fame.) Here is what I got, you can cut, paste, then copy over the entry until we see who is the most famous Pathfinder in Golorian. (If this has been done before, sorry, just remember that creativity is forgetting where you read something.)

Liberty's Edge: Eagle Knight Captain Ra Loi, (19th lvl) Fame: 88
Silver Crusade: Ojan, The War Witch of Irrisen (13th lvl) Fame: 64
Sovereign Court: Stanis, The Baron of Beatdown, (14th lvl) Fame: 63
Grand Lodge: Woodros Scufflegrit, (12th lvl) Fame: 59
Scarab Sages: None worth listing
The Exchange: None worth listing
Dark Archives: None worth listing

(Didn't go historical with old factions, probably just keep it as of now. As you know fame is fleeting.)

[andreww]

The Exchange: Venture Captain Antonius Gallonica, Viscount of Faldamount, Signifier of the Order of the Gate (Fame 97, Sorcerer 18)

[LazarX]

I didn't know Zinwrath, a.k.a. The Elbow of Ragnaros, The Ice Princess, had made it to Golarion.

[TwilightKnight]

If you ask my goblin, he is the most famous Pathfinder EVER!
His schtick is that he was one of the goblins freed from serving the Shadow Lodge when they were defeated and re-incorporated into the society. Kreisghton Shane decided to try an experiment to see if goblins could be trained to be effective agents. He convinced my goblin that he is Durvin Gest, reincarnated to help restore the society to its former glory before the ugliness of the Shadow Lodge incidents. Having a Wisdom of 7 means he is pretty gullible so it works. He introduces himself as "Durvin Gest, hero of Pathfinder." For those that do not seem to know what that means, he usually follows it up with, "I'm a big deal."
As you can imagine, this leads to A LOT of role-play opportunities for fun and shenanigans

[Iammars]

So there's actual theoretical maximums for this. I'm going to replace the SCourt listing with my character, but thanks to the Rise of the Runelords 6 chronicle sheet, we can calculate a theoretical maximum of 116 if you get that sheet plus play Race for the Runecarved Key. I'm pretty sure that Lady Gabby can come in here and override me.

Sovereign Court: Lord Arthur Higgenstrom III, (19th lvl) Fame: 114
The Exchange: Venture Captain Antonius Gallonica, Viscount of Faldamount, Signifier of the Order of the Gate (Fame 97, Sorcerer 18)
Liberty's Edge: Eagle Knight Captain Ra Loi, (19th lvl) Fame: 88
Silver Crusade: Ojan, The War Witch of Irrisen (13th lvl) Fame: 64
Grand Lodge: Woodros Scufflegrit, (12th lvl) Fame: 59
Scarab Sages: None worth listing
Dark Archives: None worth listing

Mash used to travel frequently with a Lantern Lodge witch named Chibiko. I know she made it to level 15 before the Lantern Lodge went away, but she may have played up to level 16 as a member of a new faction since then.

Looking at the rest of your list, you've got a 12th level as the highest for Grand Lodge, and I know two of the others Mash and Chibiko regularly worked with were in the GL. They're at least level 14 or 15.

But all of those are other people's PCs who probably won't check in on the forums and notice this thread.

Updated Grand Lodge

[Jayson MF Kip]

For what it's worth, of my 8 level 10+ characters, only one has not made a faction change.

(Cheliax to Dark Archive, et. al, doesn't count).

[pauljathome]

Sister Tiller Venture Captain Ling Mao (yes, she has the titles in the order that she considers most important) is STILL in the Lantern Lodge as far as she is concerned. After completing Eyes of the Ten she established a lodge in Hisuikarasu (the capital of Kwanlai) since the Pathfinder Society in Tien Sha still has a sense of honour, unlike the honourless curs in the Inner Sea.

L18 Druid, total Fame is 99, probably around the order of 80 or so of that is as Lantern Lodge (at least as far as she is concerned although she still has some respect for the Liberty's Edge faction that considers her a member).

Edit: She has made 3 faction changes, only 1 at her choice
(Lantern Lodge - Andoran (forced) - Liberty's Edge (forced) - Lantern Lodge (her choice and not acknowledged by the Society :-()

[Kerney]

Shiba Natsume--Paladin of the. Lantern Lodge. Returned to her home to Minkai after finding out of some of the less honorable behavior during the Eyes of the Ten. 64 fame.

Marv, King of Orcish Barbaque, whose franchises are opening across the inner sea, 54 fame for the Scarni/Exchange. Highest of my active characters.

The Reign of Winter 6 Chronicle can add 5 more fame to this.

If you play RotR 6 at 16.2 to 17.2 that's 106.

RoW 6 at 17.2 to 18.2 is 115.

Shattered Star 18.2 to 19.2 then Race is 121.

I don't know if there is anything else to actually raise fame but I believe 121 is the maximum fame a character can achieve in PFS (requires playing all of Reign of Winter on that character.)

[Venture-Captain Nikolai Adonai]

Venture-Captain Nikolai Adonai is in a scenario.

/Woah, meta.
//Yes HMMMMM

[Muser]

I need to get this off my chest. Adonai is famous because the character is in a scenario. The rest, eeeeh, kinda awkward to include some sillily named supergod from across the pond into our local shared narrative. No offence meant.

["Auntie" Baltwin]

Lots of Pathfinders have heard of me... not so many common people though.

;)

I guess there's "fame", and then there's "Fame".

That scenario is probably one of the most fun adventures I've ever played.

game related:

I was an out of subtier lvl 9 in a 4 man hard mode game. I died (my only PFS death ever) helping save one of the higher level players in the final encounter where Nikolai also appeared using spell immunity on the plant naming our best spells he had seen in his previous fight. He had dimensional hopped away after a failed holy word.

We managed to win and after this I was inspired to make my own Holy Vindicator who is now level 10. That cover art for Nikolai is simply amazing and I will always remember that character.

I can add another high Fame character to the OFFICIAL Shadow Lodge. Not so lonely in the shadows after all. I wonder how many of us there are.

Shadow Lodge: Roakar Witchslayer (12th level, 63 fame)

I also take offense to the whole Shadow Lodge being retired thing. We are small and elite, not retired.

To be fair, I had heard of him before the scenario ... before I was even involved in PFS, actually...

Of course, I think he's mistaking famous for infamous, but that's not uncommon ...

[Cfoot]

PFS should have Fame, Prestige, and Infamy (awarded or rather punishment for when we do the things that Pathfinders tend to do).

A slightly paunch man approaches Rukk.

How is the service coming? I brought you a letter from your daughter. Before you ask, yes it is easier to slim down with Wish then actually spend the time. Two hundred and thirty pounds down... Had to buy a whole new wardrobe.

I suppose some may have heard of me.

Fame 116, Taldor faction.

[Ring_of_Gyges]

I think the highest possible fame is 122, is there anything I've missed?

Spoilered for Boons that Effect Fame:

1) Advance to 12.0 through any combination of scenarios/modules that includes eight levels of the Emerald Spire.

2) Complete Eyes of the Ten

3) Play any number of modules to advance from 12.2 to 19.2 making sure to play Spires of Xin-Shalast last. Runelord's Reputation sets your Fame to 114.

4) Play Race for the Runecarved Key to hit level 20 and 116 Fame.

5) Spend some prestige to purchase the Land Rush plots A, B1-B6, & C3, giving +6 Fame for a total of 122.

[Buba Casanunda]

Mod gives 4 Fame in one level, scenarios give a possible 6...
So you would need to do the first 11 levels with scenarios... Unless I am missing something?

[Ragoz]

I had forgotten those boons. If you include Reign of Winter as well while completing those the maximum should be 127 fame.

1-12 with 8 Emerald Spire games.

RotR 6 at 16.2 to 17.2.

RoW 6 at 17.2 to 18.2 to get 115.

Shattered Star 18.2 to 19.2 then Race is 121.

Emerald Spire +6 up to 127 Fame at 20.

The chronicle sheet for the final Rise of the Runelords book contains a boon that says...

Spoiler:

..."your Fame score increases to equal 6 × your character level"

[theshoveller]

My most famous is Alexite of Elidir. Cavalier/12, Steel Falcon/1 (Fame 77). Andoran/Liberty's Edge faction. No longer a pathfinder. His chronicle sheet from "Eyes of the Ten" records how he turned down a certain boon.

[Bloodspeaker Mea Culpa]

Raise dead!

Mea Culpa, Venture Captain of the Moon and the Strongest Wizard in the Society, may have supplanted Farak, the Most Powerful Mage in *ALL* Absalom, as the most famous Shadow Lodge member. She is currently level 19.2 with 114 fame after taking on Runelord Karzoug, continuing in the spirit of the Shadow Lodge and doing what Grand Mister Torch taught her.
