Is it 12 or 16 XP to level up a character?


Rules Discussion

Grand Lodge

OK, simple question that I can not find an answer to with searching the here or on the web. I am awarded 4 XP per scenario our group completes.
1. Do I need to complete 3 or 4 scenarios with a character to have it level up?
2. Does my familiar level up at the same time as my character?

If I am missing reading a section in be PHB for 2e please point me in the right direction. Everything I can find says 1000 XP per level and does not say anything about my familiar.

1000XP is the normal amount to level up.

Pathfinder Society uses a different XP method, which is 12 XP to a level. Because this is distinct to PFS, it is described in the Guide to ORganized Play at http://www.organizedplayfoundation.org/encyclopedia/pfs2guide/ and not in the CRB.

And HERE are the rules for Familiars.

The first official Errata document added a sentence on page 214, CRB, under Young Animal Companions:

"An animal companion has the same level you do."
and in that same paragraph
(their maximum item bonus to AC is +3)


Familiars don't have levels
