Can you chain mnemonic editors together to undo multiple levels?

Mostly asking for SFS, where a fame purchase lets you use the editor far more easily than a lower level character paying cash.

If you're level 4, can you buy the MK 1 and MK 2 editors and redo your levels all the way back to 1? I have a first level feat I'm going to want to ditch.

We had a player with a similar problem at our location. After much discussion my VC and I ruled yes. Hope that helps.

Yah I don’t see why not. Technically I would allow a nk 1-2-3-4 ect to be used all at once. However the rules stand. That becomes permanent, you would need to find the next mk x that you need in sequence. Of course the combined cost would be a factor too. Such a procedure would be traumatic and potentially life threatening, a good opportunity for a gm to throw in some good role playing.

Could go either way. The item level and price might be a way to prevent a person from rebuilding a character from scratch, by forcing you to keep your lower level choices.

That said, I'd allow this, because +cool points and I don't like artificially gating player choice 'just because.'

If you use a mnemonic editor, you can undo 2 character levels’ worth of decisions about which class levels you took, which feats you selected, how you applied any level-based increases to ability scores, how you assigned new skill ranks, and so on. All decisions you made as a result of advancing over the previous 2 character levels you gained are undone. You then make new selections, including new class levels, feats, skills, and the like, as if you had regained the 2 missing character levels. Go through the normal process of advancing your character through each of these 2 levels.

You UNDO DECISIONS, not levels. If you're level 5 and use the mnemonic editor you undo all the decisions of level 4 and 5, if you use it again you're still just undoing all the decisions of level 4 and 5.

*cough* If your players actually have good reason to even consider chaining together mnemonic editors, you really just need to have a talk about redoing the PCs.

Not really. It could be that they only want to change one thing, but it's one thing from more than two levels ago.

Thats pretty much my exact situation
