Season 2 Special, Chronicle boon question

[EvilMinion]

Quick question:

The chronicle for Year of the Shadow Lodge Special (and this will be true for some other years as well, now that I think of it) has a boon listed separately at each tier group. The boon has the same name and the same benefits (just can be used more times in the higher tiers)

But typically when you play in a higher tier, you get all things in the lower tiers as well.

So if you played this special in Tier 8-9 say... can you select one of that boon, you can use twice, and also select one of the lower tier boon (of the same name) which you can just use once?

I notice that the Blood Under Absalom special had the same sort of chronicle setup, but my GM for that one crossed out all the lower tier boons. Was that a mistake?

The other specials I've done do not have this format, listing just a single boon.

You get the boon that's within your subtier, so you gain either one, two, or three uses—not up to six.

Graci!

Quick follow up question. If you play a special with a pregen and decide to take the apply to a first level character option. Do you still get the boon as applied to a character at the tier of the pregen or can you apply the tier 1-2 boon only to that character. Rather than having to wait until you hit the tier of the boon before applying said boon

I don't think the pregen rules cover boons in the event of reducing a chronicle for a first level character, so the standard pregen boon rules would apply: you don't get access to the boon until the character reaches the level of the pregen.

Yes, they do. You gain item access immediately, but must wait until the level of the pregen to apply any boons.

You may also opt instead to apply the Chronicle sheets earned with a non-1st-level pregenerated character to a 1st-level character with the amount of gp gained reduced, and any character specific boons earned must wait to be utilized until the character is of the same level as the subtier on the Chronicle sheet unless otherwise noted. You do not lose access to any of the Prestige Points, or items listed on the Chronicle sheets that were earned during the adventure, but you do forego downtime.
