GM Question

[Nighthawk88]

So I was reviewing the Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild Guide and under Day Jobs and Boons, it does not state that the GM's character does not get either. I have however seen one post from 2011 that counters this. Is the new book correct? Will I get my Day Job roll and anything the players get?

Thanks!

There is a boon that allows GMs to roll Day Jobs for the character that receives it. Otherwise, no Day Job rolls for GM credits.

Without the Extra Hours boon a GM's character does not get any Downtime.

The GM can select any special boons bestowed by a Chronicle sheet, such as free magical treasure, regional boons, or future bonus die rolls. Boons for specific faction members may only be selected if the character that is receiving credit is part of that faction. The GM 's character does not engage in downtime activity.

STEP 5: DOWNTIME

Not every Pathfinder works for the Society full time. Some are trained artisans, professionals, or performers and earn extra gold between missions. After each adventure that grants XP, you gain a period of Downtime before your next mission. During Downtime, you can attempt a trained Craft, Perform, or Profession check to see how much extra money you earn—this is called a Day Job check. At the end of each adventure in the Roleplaying Guild, you have the opportunity to make one Day Job check. Certain vanities (Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Pathfinder Society Field Guide 60 and Pathfinder Player Companion: Pathfinder Society Primer 28) allow you to further modify your Day Job rolls, or even let you use skill ranks from other, more specialized skills like Heal or Sleight of Hand.

The Boon that TOZ is referring to is called "Extra Hours". It's popular amongst GMs who run more than play.
