Can you spend Fame / AcP to Raise dead on a Fiery Companion?

Fiery Companion is a hard companion to get. At most, you can only have two ever. There a chance that one can die during a scenario. Can you spend fame/AcP to raise dead a Fiery Companion? The boon is not an Access boon it is, "You replace your companion with this companion" boon. So there has to be a way to save it after a scenario. Please let me know. thank you.

1 person marked this as a favorite.

I don't see why you couldn't pay for a raise dead, so long as your Companion didn't die at the beginning of an adventure more than 3 days away.

As long as you purchase them by tomorrow, I don't see why Resurrection Plan or Bring Them Back Alive wouldn't work, either.

But other than that, the website still doesn't display the text of the AcP Boons, so I'm unsure whether there will be a Boon available after January 1st.

Presumably there will be.

I agree that the standard rules for Animal Companion replacement implies that your new Companion must be a different creature, but I am unfamiliar with whatever Boon grants you a "Fiery" Companion.

Does the Boon grant you "Access" to Fiery Companions? Or is it a specific Fiery Companion?

""□ Fiery Companion (Limited-Use, Slotless): You have befriended a unique animal augmented by alchemical experiments. If you have an animal companion, you can check the box that precedes this boon between adventures to replace it with the fiery leopard (Pathfinder Adventures: The Fall of Plaguestone 57). You may also transfer this boon to one of your other characters who has an animal companion, immediately checking the box on this boon and replacing that character’s existing companion with the fiery leopard; keep a copy of this Chronicle with that character.""

That implies that it replaces your current Companion. So it is not an Access Boon.

Yep. Looks unique to me, too.

So then you'd just have to calculate the mechanical and emotional value of your unique Companion vs saving for the cost of a raise dead.

That value is going to differ from player to player.

I would say no. The boon is very specific.
