Help with playing PACS scenarios in home setting


Pathfinder Adventure Card Game General Discussion


My family is working our way slowly through the new Core Set and CoCT adventures. Since I don't want to spoil myself but want to play a little faster than our family does, I'm looking at starting Year of Rotting Ruin plus the new Season 7 Year of Reborn Strife. As well, I suspect the family will want to move on to those when we finish CoCT.

My main question concerns whether it is possible to play the PACS seasons as a normal AP? i.e. not using the PACS rules on character advancement. I couldn't find anyone discussing this. We never tried this with the previous seasons as we just played those in our PACS group.

Of course! Just ignore any rules or rewards that specify PACS characters. Most often this comes in the form of a "bonus deck upgrade" but when playing non-PACS rules, you aren't limited in the number of cards that can be upgraded in a single scenario.


Also note that the scenario rewards don't specify when you get hero points or a role card. You should take a hero point after each scenario, and a role card right when you take your 3rd hero point.

A correction: you take a Hero Point after each Scenario and can spend them on Feats using the rules from the Core Rulebook. (Generally one of each Feat per Adventure.)

When you take your third Power Feat (not your third Hero Point), you are rewarded with a Role as described on p. 20 of the Core Set Rulebook. Your third Feat goes on your new Role.

Hope this helps!


Oops. :/

Thanks for the correction!


Thanks everyone for the guidance.
