PFS character creation.

[DarthLang]

I am creating a core character for PFS. Can I use advanced age to increase my int, wis, and cha while lowering my str, dex, and con?

[James Risner]

You may use advanced age.
You do not gain the benefits.

Nope. The Roleplaying Guild Guide outlines the rules for character creation.

On page 7 it says:

Ability Scores wrote:

Characters do not alter their ability scores as a result of this choice [of starting age].

You can be whatever age you want (up to venerable), but your ability scores don't change.

Be sure to register it as "Core"!

Like, on your account page, there are three options. One's for the card game, one says roleplaying, and one says Core.

I've seen many make that mistake.
