What happens to Faction Boons if you rebuild a lv 1 character?


Pathfinder Society

Lantern Lodge 3/5

What happens if you play a 1-5 scenario (that rewards faction boons) with a lv 1 character of the appropriate faction, but decides to rebuild the lv 1 character to another faction for the next game?

Do you retroactively lose those faction boons? Or do you get to keep them?

Pretty sure they go poof.

What faction boon can you get with a level 1 character? At best you get 3 goals and I don't think that is possible.

I would just mark the new faction card in the correct manner if the scenario accomplished a goal on the new faction card.

Some scenarios come with faction-specific boons that are very nice indeed.

The Roleplaying Guild Guide covers faction changes.

You retain your faction traits, if any, but lose any faction-specific Prestige Awards you have accumulated during your time with your old faction

These are neither faction traits nor prestige awards, though.

Is there any reason they would not be treated the same as a Prestige Award?

because this is PFS and we never seem to do things predictably?

Hmm I see now that the OP was talking about boon from a chronicle, not the factions card.

So yes, the boon would become invalid.

I am perfectly predictable, I'll have you know.

Your faction hasn't been retired or a similar special circumstance applied, so I think you'd lose access to the boon, as if you changed factions by paying Prestige.

Heck, I'm a Divination Wizard (Foresight School) and even with Prescience I can't predict which way you're going to go on anything...

Usually whichever is funniest.

Anyway, my understanding is that you cannot keep any faction benefits earned when switching factions.

I predict that next you'll be telling us that sometimes, you can be unpredictable.

I knew you'd say that.

You can always predict an unpredictable man to be unpredictable.

To much Shadowrun in the 90's... now I'm picturing the quintessential cyberpunk rocker chick as a follower of Razmir... brain hurts...

I barely understand that concept and would also like to see this art.
