I know I'm quite late to the party with PACG organized play, but I'm looking to get some more mileage out of my Mummy's Mask set and have a few questions.
First, when making characters, is it legal to combine a character from the Mummy's Mask set with a class deck? I'd like to do so if possible, because they fit with the set so well, but I'm unclear from the rules and the boons for Season of Plundered Tombs which of the following is true:
- 1. I can't use any of the character cards from the box.
- 2. I can use a character card from the box only if there is a card with the same name in a class set. (I think only Alahazra, Ezren, and Damiel qualify.)
- 3. I can use any character card if I have a class set with a card of a matching class. (So only Zadim as a slayer would be illegal.)
Second, how do people usually print the proxy cards? Has anyone tried to print them on high-enough quality paper to use them as cards directly instead of using proxies?
Hi, and welcome to the game!
I am curious about your reason for specifying Organized Play (Pathfinder Adventure Card Society). PACS has some stringent rules for players who want to be able to take their characters to local game shops, conventions, and even online play. However, those rules don't matter as much for people just playing campaigns at home. For now, since you asked with relation to OP, I'll answer thusly.

#3 is correct. Some characters like Zadim can be unlocked using a specified class deck as a reward for a particular PACS scenario (in Zadim's case, the Adventure 6 reward for Season 3 - Season of Plundered Tombs - lets you play him with the Rogue Class Deck.
Second, how do people usually print the proxy cards? Has anyone tried to print them on high-enough quality paper to use them as cards directly instead of using proxies?
The only thing I ever had any success with was printing the cards on regular paper and sleeving them with a card I wasn't using. Even then, I could sometimes tell, and so I always use proxies when playing the physical game.

Alternately, if you have a copy of the Core and Crimson Throne, you could build him with Adventure Packs in place of the class deck.

Again, if you have the Core set, it comes with actual proxy cards, which prevents the "Oops, I forgot that was supposed to be a proxy and so I treated it like what it says it is on the card."
