PFS Scenario #5-05: Should I play a pregen?


Advice


This may be one of my strangest requests for advice yet.

I finally have a chance to play Pathfinder this week but I've already played 2 of the 3 scenarios scheduled that day. #5-05 is a scheduled at subtier 7-8, but I have no characters in tier. The closest I have is 1 game away from lvl 7. I'd love to play with him, but there's no chance to play another game before Thursday.

Now, I've heard this scenario is brutal. But is it too brutal for a pregen? While the character I plan to give the chronicle to can afford a raise dead, I'd prefer to save it for Convocation at the end of August where I'll be playing him almost exclusively.

If pregens are viable for this scenario, are there any that would be reccomended?


Elven Entanglement can be pretty rough. I would not choose to play it with a pregen unless I was very confidant the rest of the group was very competent.

If your GM follows the scenario to the letter, like he's supposed to, a pregen can hold its own better than some characters I've seen make it through.

Basically, if you are confident in your ability to run a pregen (as in, know exactly what it and all of its abilities do), you shouldn't have an issue. It may be tough, but it's not in the realm of "pregens need not apply."

All of this is out the window if a few bad rolls happen, of course.


Considering only 1 GM is signed up and there're 3 scenarios and she is not running this one... Also only 1 other person signed up for this one with 3-4 days until game time... I have no party composition nor GM habits to go off of.

...Maybe I should make this my third time GMing...

I would NOT recommend that this be a scenario that you pick for your 3rd time GMing. Its pretty complex.

Take a pregen. I'd recommend one from the ACG. The arcanist is particularly good at 7th level. If you die, you just assign the credit to character 914.


I was going to say "hell no!" b/c I thought you wanted to play a pregen to avoid danger, and this is a fun scenario. But if you don't have a choice, go for it, as long as it's Sub-tier 7-8. Lini would be great, Amiri good. Everyone loves Kyra of course. Harsk could be great but isn't of course.
