Dear Organized Play Community -
Is there any possibility that you might consider allowing characters to purchase Bequeathal multiple times, each time for a different option, rather than only once each for common / rare / unique?
I find myself faced with the dilemma of how to deal with an upcoming Extinction Curse chronicle, which offers several lovely uncommon options, but I can only bequeath one of them.

Boons
Boons are rewards that can be applied to a character. Common types of boons include Achievement Points (AcP), Chronicle, or Faction. Boons often have traits that describe how the boon applies. There are some boon traits that deserve specific mention:Advanced: A boon with the Advanced trait is typically more powerful than other boons. Characters may only benefit from one advanced boon during an adventure.
Ally: A boon with the Ally trait sometimes places a Pawn. This does not allow players to bypass the limits on the number of Pawns they can play.Unless a boon states otherwise, you can only apply one of any given boon to a character.
Bequeathal makes no such statement. I've been complaining about this for years :(

Thanks, Rob.
An OrgPlay announcement here plus a later FAQ would help enormously here, if the intention is to allow players the chance to bequeath more than one option from a character for the play lifetime of that character.
The current wording closes doors, and leaves an even more perplexing question of where to put the next fun chronicle, since I would not be able to move anything off of it if I bequeath something now.

The costs in my opinion are reasonable.
Bequeathal (Uncommon Option) 4 ACP
Bequeathal (Rare Option) 8 ACP
Bequeathal (Unique Option) 12 ACP
If it were allowed, transferring multiple bequeathals would make it a lot less annoying when an option is applied to the ‘wrong’ character rather than the one that can make good use of it.

Wait, can they not?The fame version had:
Is that missing from the AcP verison?
Special You can purchase this boon multiple times. Each time you bequeath a different character option.
The full text is on the FaQ for anyone to check right? (can't link the boon itself on Paizo but I can also link it on my unofficial docs site)
I also downloaded a bequeathal boon and confirmed this. Not that I felt any strong urge to check what individuals such as Hmm and Pirate are saying, as they are very reliable sources.

Should always check before making your own statement, its how I got a rep for being reliable.:)

I just tested something else for fun. You can buy multiple of these boons for the same character anyway.
I suspect the system does not enforce the purchase limit rules. I almost want to try and buy two skeleton ancestries just to see if the system actually enforces it. (I suppose technically applying a boon ≠ purchasing a boon, but if that is the argument here the system is flawed and should warn players making multiple/illegal purchases.)
In the past, I've also spent my own AcP just to get complete boon text, even though I didn't want the boons, but I'm not quite sure I am ready to try a 206-AcP experiment.

I had that thought too before I did the math...
So lets say you GMed at a Premier event all day forever and each game took exactly 4 hours. That's 6 games a day * 12 ACP a game is 72 ACP a day....
Or 34,333.33 days or.... ~94 Years.
I suspect there are easier and faster ways to turn into a skeleton

"Math..." Zo! waves away the pesky calculations. "And now for a PSA from the Eoxian Immigration Bureau...."
Zo! turns to the cameras with his trademark dazzling smile. "Friends, ask yourselves... Is this too large a price for your chance at Second Life?"

"The Eoxian Immigration Bureau is not responsible for any dissatisfaction, job insecurity or mental adjustment issues once you achieve your Second Life, and recommends that all breathers who aspire to Second Life status prove their dedication by working on Eox for the full 94 year trial period. Your time working to acheive your Second Life will not be refunded for any reason. All aspirants are reminded that they may experience some lack of virility, sleep, taste and smell upon transitioning to their Second Life, combined with an uncontrollable and insatiable hunger for the life force of all sentient beings. Thank you and congratulations on taking this first step towards immortality."

Only run the Bounty Box, and speed run the dungeon so that both floors combined takes only 4 hours. That's 48 ACP in 4 hours for 288 per day, for 8583.3 Days, or only 23.5 years. Totally doable in one lifetime! Though with 4th edition Pathfinder out by then, is it really worth it?
