Bonus Starting Equipment from Schools: How much?

I've had a number of PFS players (and at least one GM) tell me that you get TWO bonus healing potions at the start of every game; that if you pick a school, you get ONE healing potion and another item determined by your school instead; and that if you're field commissioned, you get no bonus items at all.

Is that correct?

I can only find mention of getting ONE potion (at least at low levels) and if you pick a school, you get an alternate item instead of ANY healing potions.

What am I missing?

You get one. Either the default, or the school specific one. Sometimes the potion option can be multiple potions, though.

Quote:
"Pathfinders receive the following healing potions, based on level at the beginning of the adventure. Pathfinders using the schools Additional Character Option as well as characters who rely on Negative Healing have access to different Starting Consumables options and should chose them now if they wish to have them."

Different starting consumables, not "additional" starting consumables.

Quote:
"Characters with ties to schools also have additional options for their starting consumables. Characters may choose consumables based on their level or any lower level. Field Commissioned Agents do not receive any starting consumables, but receive additional downtime instead."

Have Additional Options. Not additional consumables.

Though, if you pick the default healing option at lvl 3-4, you get two minor healing potions, and generalists tend to have more powerful/plentiful healing options.

The rule changed at some point after 2E launched. It used to be two items, but was adjusted to the current system, because that ended up being too much. They may be remembering the old rule.

Let them play with what they believe they get at 1st level. Then try to explain the wonky PFS2e rules throughout & after the game.

I've lost dozens of new players and aspiring GMs in my area due to the various rules & rule changes of PFS play.
