Hello everyone.
Back in the days I created my first character for PFS play, mostly to see how it worked for online play. I accidentaly created a Core character (only Core Rulebook and Traits Web Enhancement available for creation), but at that time I didn't give much attention to it, because I didn't had anybody to play PFS with.
Now I'm approaching PbP play, and I want also play PFS for many reasons. At first I thought that I should delete my first character, since I won't play Core adventures, but when I tried a message informed me that such action would also delete that specific character number, and I didn't thought that was a good idea.
I have now found a PFS table which will play Ambush in Absalom. I've made a 1st level character and read a handy guide about the PFS, and found out that my first character (the number XXXXXX-1) can obtain a "Welcome Boon". The problem is, that character slot is the one with the Core character I will probably never use.
My question is: is there a way to change a character slot from Pathfinder Core (1st Edition) to Pathfinder Society? The slot I'm speaking of is perfectly new, has never been used for any kind of play. I know I could convert a Core character by playing in a Standard table, but that option won't give me the ability of creating a Standard character from scratch, which is what I want to do. Please, I just want to play with my "Welcome Boon".
Thank you in advance for your help.
No need to worry, once you play a non-core table the character should drop out of Core and become a normal mode character.
That's wonderful! Although I must ask, is it true that until my PC hits level 2 I can change anything in its build? Like class, race, feats, spells, etc? Let's say I want to play an investigator, will I be able to do it with said character after its conversion?

There are two different Pathfinder Society campaigns for 1st Edition. The PFS CORE campaign, which only uses the CRB & traits web enhancement. There is also the PFS Standard campaign which uses most of the Paizo products (APG, Ult. Magic, Unchained, Player's Guides, etc...) and allowed contents within.
So, are you asking if you can take an old 1e PFS Core PC and change it to a standard 1e PFS campaign PC? If so, yes you can.
Or changing an old Core PC and switch it for use in the upcoming 2nd edition of PFS? This, I believe, is a 'no'.

That's what I needed to hear, now I can play safely with my "Welcome Boon". Thank you very much for your assistance.

Yes, you may change anything about your PC except the PFS number before playing at 2nd level.
It gives new players a chance to find something they like to play before being "locked in" to the PC after 2nd level.

Thank you for the answer, now I can enjoy my PFS game peacefully.
