Application of GM credit to my character

[coriolis]

I officially GMed a PFS scenario for the first time yesterday! It was a private event for my friends in our home campaign, since I'm still getting used to the VTT system we're using. (I was the only one who is part of the PFS, so I downloaded some PFS numbers for them, and they used pregens).

When I did the reporting, I was asked to assign credit to one of my characters. The system automatically added the Reputation, Fame and Achievement Points to that character. Do I also get Downtime, XP and gold?

I chose a first-level character; could I have chosen a higher level one? What about one above the level limit for the scenario? How do I determine the downtime and gold reward he gets in that case?

Thanks for stepping up.

Must be within limits of the scenario. You get downtime, xp, gold etc.

At the moment Paizo's backend doesn't give the GM character access to boons but it's being worked on.

To answer your other questions regarding assignment of the GM chronicle to various level'd characters.

You can assign the chronicle to any character who is below or equal to the maximum level of the scenario. This leads to two cases.

1) The character is within the level range of the scenario -- in this case you both assign and apply the chronicle immediately (assuming you have the character built).

2) The character is below the lowest level of the scenario -- ie you're character is level 1, the scenario is a 3-6. In this case the chronicle is still assigned to the character, but you don't apply it (you don't adjust the characters XP/gold/etc) until the character reaches the minimum level for the scenario. Its effectively "banked" xp for the character later. In this case for your question about downtime/gold. You can record "8 Days downtime awards, to be resolved when applied", the treasure bundle->gold conversion is also resolved when you apply it. It will almost always be lowest level of the scenarios tier, unless you've banked A LOT of high level chronicles, or have a huge unbuilt GM Blob. I would caution against either of those cases, especially when you're getting started, since if you bank too many it is possible to lose credit (if the banked xp levels you past the level range of a chronicle, you can't apply it and that one is lost, etc)
