RPG Superstar 2014 Top 32

I believe slow track was only allowed during the grandfathering period of time when Eyes was put on a hard 33xp limit to start.
Before the 33xp hard cap to start a lot of people had Race for the Runecarved Key xp or Ruby Phoenix Tournament putting them over 33, and they needed to play parts of Eyes on slow to keep from hitting 14 before they finished part 4.

And the Decemvirate spake, saying, "First shalt thou take on the seven to eleven tiers. Then shalt thou count to thirty-three XP, no more, no less. Thirty-three shall be the XP thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be thirty-three XP. Thirty-four XP shalt thou not count, neither count thou thirty-two XP, excepting that thou then proceed to thirty-three XP. Thirty-five XP is right out. Once the XP thirty-three, being the thirty-third XP, be reached, then lobbest thy Seeker of the Society towards thy foe, who, being naughty in Their sight, shall be snuffed."

It would seem to me that per-chronicle slow advancement would allow greater flexibility in when one could start Eyes of the ten.
Normally, as I understand it, EotT gives 5xp, taking one from 33xp at level 12.0 to 38xp at level 13.2. If one has 33.5 xp, one merely has to take the second chronicle on slow. If one has 34, take the first, double-length chronicle on slow. 34.5; take the first two on slow. That will provide advancement to level 13 at the intended point, just before the third part. I've read on the board that making sure the characters are not 14th level before the end of the arc is important.
Edit: obviously, the campaign leadership would need to change the rules to allow this, as it is not currently legal.

A friend has asked if one could play Eyes with a character with 33.5 xp; would that be allowed? Otherwise she'll have to skip the end of Emerald Spir with her friends.
With GM permission, she could play that final part of ES for no credit, and get the additional xp she needs by playing scenarios or whatever.

Of course, she could complete 'enough' of the emerald spire to land her on 33XP. Assuming she is currently on 32XP and playing slow track, 2/3rds completion should award 1XP, 1PP & 2/3rds gold, assuming that everyone else at the table is happy with that approach.

If your character mainly played modules to reach 12, I would suggest the module Wardens of the Reborn Forge as a retirement arc.
Keep Eyes of the Ten for characters that have an actual history with the society: factions, faction missions, venture captains and at least some year 0 and year 1 scenarios.

You can slow track Eyes of the Ten.
Link .
Although all other rules apply, so it doesn't seem worth it. Because you would not hit level 13 during EotT if you were slow track.

That thread is from before the current rules were put in place, so it is no longer relevant.

I have a question along these lines. What happens to a character that has a pre-applied Adventure Path Chronicle that kicks in at 13th level from campaign mode (in this case, from Reign of Winter) when they play Eyes of the Ten? One AP chronicle will take me from 11 to 12, so I would be right at 33XP if I start EotT. After the first 2 parts, though, it would seem I'd be ineligible for the rest. Unless slow track is an option. I might be better off playing a level 12 module with that character.
