SFS Question - Chronicle Sheet 1-99 - Boon question

[Justin Fritz 56]

I have a question on a boon that I got from the Chronicle sheet for playing 1-99 at Origins. My question is on the slotless boon on the sheet. I am putting the rest of my question in a spoiler section since the boon is a small spoiler.

Question:

My question is on the Scoured Star Veteran Boon, specifically the Rescued Starfinder option.

In it is states that character you apply this boon to goes to level 2 with 3xp, 5 fame and 5 rep in your faction, and finally you get 2160 credits. Worded specifically as "This new PC begins play with 3xp, 2160 Credits, 5 fame, and 5 reputation with the faction that character selects a boon for."

Does the 2160 replace the initial 1000 credit you get when you create a character or does this add to the 1000 credit you get when you create a new character?

No, those credits are in addition to your starting money. It's as if you had played enough scenarios to get those benefits, just totaled up into a lump sum.

Thank you, It hit me last night as I was looking to build a new PC using that. I thought that would be the case but the wording made it sound like the other so I thought I would ask.

I initially assumed Allen's interpretation, but then got concerned about the same thing that it replaced your starting money. It's a bit awkwardly worded. I don't know if this counts as an official answer, but I'm hoping so, because I think it's the more natural way to interpret the spirit of the boon.

2160 is what a Tier 1-2 AP gives you. It's also 3x what a Tier 1-2 scenario gives you. The language is the same as many similar PFS boons.

I would consider it a fairly safe interpretation that the language of the Chronicle does not supercede the language of the Guild Guide.
