Converting older (PF 1e) PFS charcter to the new PF 2e PFS camapign?


Pathfinder Society

So, first off, I haven't played Pathfinder since pretty much D&D 5e came out, but the new Pathfinder 2nd Edition seemed interesting enough that some of us have decided to try the system at an upcoming convention where they were running Pathfinder Society Organized Play games.

Looking back, I discovered an old 4th level character that I had used in the Pathfinder Society way back when, and still had the adventure records, and it looks like there were various sessions listed for him in the online system here.

My question, is, is that still a legal character here in the new Pathfinder Society Organized Play, now that it looks like its using he 2nd Edition rules? Presumably he'd need to be updated to the PF2 rules/mechanics (obviously), but I couldn't find any guidelines on how that would work. Or maybe there was a window to convert them and it's already passed? Or will I just have to create a new character using he new version's rules?

I don't mind creating a new fresh character, but I wanted to see what my options were here first. It's been a long time since I've dealt with PF, so I'm quite rusty.

Thanks in advance!

While you can still play him in PFS1, you do need to make a new character for 2E.

There are no conversion rules, and this was done on purpose, so that we could get a clean break.

That's fair, then. Thank you!

One benefit you might qualify for, though, are Legacy Backgrounds. Save those old sheets to see which Seasons you played during, and maybe one of the new backgrounds will appeal to your new character.

Unfortunately, if I am reading this list correcly, I only have at most four of any single Season (Zero) mods under my belt from back then, so I'm afraid i don't quite qualify. No worries, though, thanks!
