PFS rules question

[Supes]

Is the optional rule for voluntary flaws as seen on page 26 in the core Rulebook allowed in pathfinder society games?
Thanks in advance

PFS2 character creation covers all the creation rules. I think that mentioned.

The important section from the above hyperlink wrote:

1. Ability Scores

Generate your Pathfinder Society character’s ability scores using the method detailed under “ABILITY SCORE OVERVIEW” on page 20 of the Core Rulebook. Your character may also take two additional ability flaws to gain one additional ability boost as described in the Voluntary Flaws sidebar on page 26 of the Core Rulebook.

Also, it's good to keep in mind that you can't use the boost you gain from the voluntary flaw to boost an ability score that is already getting a boost from your ancestry's mandatory boosts or free boosts.

Thank you very much for the responses. The reason I am asking is because I am trying to build a cavern elf with the following stats for a pathfinder society game.
Str 14
Dex 10
Con 10
Int 10
Wis 18
Char 14

I can’t find a way to do it, but maybe someone here can find a way?

Ancestry, with optional flaw to DEX and INT to boost your WIS, free boost in STR

STR 12
DEX 10
CON 8
INT 10
WIS 12
CHA 10

Background - something with Wisdom and a free boost, which we'll put in CHA.

STR 12
DEX 10
CON 8
INT 10
WIS 14
CHA 12

Class - cleric +WIS

STR 12
DEX 10
CON 8
INT 10
WIS 16
CHA 12

Four free boosts - STR, CON, WIS, CHA

STR 14
DEX 10
CON 10
INT 10
WIS 18
CHA 14

Can I do that since it is using 2 bonuses to strength?

[Tomppa]

Yes, because they are applied at different phases:
A- Ancestry
B- Background
C- Class
1- First level ability boosts (4 different ability scores)

Your strength is getting boosted at Ancestry and First Level boosts, so you're okay. What you could not do, for example, would be to take a penalty on cha and str to apply it to wisdom, which you were already going to boost on that Ancestry phase of character building.

[Supes]

Very good. Thank you. I misunderstood that part.
