Letting players play with a GM character

[Ausk Trask]

I have a question for you. Some of the people in my local club want to run the the Legend of the Seekers modules. But they are missing a player that is at the right lvl to play along. One of the suggested solutions would be that the GM hands a 4th player a lvled up character ( earned with her GM points)

The question is this legal, or would this also "corrupt" the achievements of the 3 legal characters?

Alas, you can't do this, and there are no pregenerated characters at that level either, They'll have to wait for a fourth player. Seeker arcs take time to muster. (I'm still waiting to play Eyes of the Ten...)

[Ausk Trask]

That is what I figured.

Just to be sure, with ruining it for the others, I meant would it void the adventures for the other people at the table. ( As opposed to ruin it having to play with someone who didn't earn their marks )

You almost need 2 groups to get a group into seeker range.

You could also bring someone in from online (the game is more machine now than man...)

[GM Lamplighter]

Yes, it would void the game completely. You can't have someone play someone else's character at a legal PFS table, so the entire table is illegal, which would make the other three characters also illegal from that poitn on (since you can't play PFS-legal characters at non-PFS-legal tables).

Or get the pregen player to dm and the dm to play and viola legal table.
