Level 1 character getting credit for a level 3 pregen.


Pathfinder Society

I'm confused, maybe someone here knows the answer.

At GenCon I've played two scenarios as a level 1 character, and a third scenario as a level 3 pregen. I would like to give credit to the level 1 character. My chronicle is giving me too much gold, I think, but I don't know the right amount.

Here's what I have so far:

http://www.organizedplayfoundation.org/encyclopedia/pfs2edplayer-basics/

On this page it says:
"Credit for playing a higher-level pregenerated character must be assigned to a Pathfinder Society character of a lower level than the pregenerated character."

So far so good.

Further down below in "Apply Credit" in the same page it says:
"You can apply credit from a higher-tier adventure to a 1st-level Pathfinder Society character. When doing so, you gain only the gold appropriate to a 1st-level character. You do not benefit from any boons until your Pathfinder Society character reaches the minimum level listed on the Chronicle sheet, unless otherwise noted."

What is the gold appropriate to a 1st level character?

My first two chronicles awarded me 14.08 gp and 14.16gp. The third level chronicle gave 40.4 gp (38 for adventure and 2.4 for job roll).

How do I fix it? I don't really care about the money, I just want to apply the XP so I can hit level 2.

Thank you for reading!

Assuming you received 10 treasure bundles (the maximum) a 1st level character would get 14 gp.

Treasure Bundle Value

edit: The day job answer is a little messier. It appears that you should get the full 2.4 gp that the pregen rolled since "pregens can use downtime" That kinda changes the wealth by level a bit, but I haven't seen anything official saying to do differently.

The day job answer is a little messier. In theory if you are applying credit to a 1st level character, you are supposed to say so at the table.

I thought I did. Maybe I didn't.

Sounds like the solution is to take 14g and ignore the rest. :)

Much obliged for your response.

Not your fault, but that second dayjob numbers look suspect.

The 0.08 on the first one, checks out (that's a level 0 task fail).
The 0.16 on the second one, looks wrong. It should either by a 0.08 again (for a level 0 fail), 0.4 (for a level 0 success) or 1.6 (for a level 0 critical success). Did the GM record the degree of success on the sheet? I'm guessing the critical success, and just misplacing the decimal is the most likely mistake there.

The 2.4 looks correct at least for a level 1 task, crital success.

As to how to fix the level 3 chronicle, the best approach is to try to contact the GM and ask to have the chronicle re-issued as a level 1 chronicle.

I'm not going to lose any sleep over missing a couple gold. It's really no big deal. Thank you for fast response!

You can also contact your Venture-Captain to reissue the chronicle.

Feel free to PM me, I'm a VA in the Boston area, and can get you in touch with our VC (Kevin) who doesn't frequent the forums as much as I do.
