Title. Can you sell gear of the pregen to raise someone else?

Seems possible, as long as you spend the minimum amount of your "real" character's wealth first. The problem is the guide says "During play, you may need to resolve various conditions that affect your character." Your could be read strictly to not allow you to contribute to other character's conditions.

In season 7, selling a pregen's gear to pay for a raise dead was explicitly restricted to raising the pregen.

I don't believe that requirement has been dropped. While the guide has been reorganized so that the text quoted above has been removed, we find

  • The player can use the pregenerated character’s funds - including selling her gear at half price - to pay for these spellcasting services ...

Note, in particular, the restriction on using the funds to pay for these spellcasting services. That seems to me to limit any such expenditure to spells cast to clear conditions accrued by the pregenerated character, just as was the case prior to season 8.

yeah, I knew it was explicit in S7, which made it strange I couldn't find it in S8. So I wanted to check and make sure it wasn't meant to be changed.

Most policies stayed the same, but a lot of text got abbreviated, so you kind of need to have the S7 guide in hand next to the S8 guide to actually use it. Unfortunately.

Pregen wealth may only be used to clear pregen conditions.

This is on my list of things to clean up in the next version of the guide.
