[Official] PFS2 Guide to Organized Play Feedback Thread v5.X (November 2023 / Lorespire Update)

[LeftHandShake]

As a suggestion/request, please rewrite the Table Variation section of the OrgPlay guide.

The simplest, easiest fix would be to replace the phrase "Beyond the above" with "In all cases" or "No matter what". As written, it creates exceptions to the instruction to "make rulings that are fun and fair". Three of the five bullet points are more or less straightforward (major plot points, number of monsters, no banning legal character options), but the other two ("No changes to armor, feats, items, skills, spells, statistics, traits, or weapons" and "No alteration of mechanics of Player Characters") are ambiguous and unclear.

All I'm asking is for the OrgPlay rules to clearly and unambiguously allow GMs to make rulings that are fair and fun for everyone involved *no matter what*, without regard to what aspect of the game rules it pertains to.

This is really more of a website issue than a guide issue, but it does seem to be related to the 5.05 update.

The Heroic Inspiration (Envoy's Alliance) boon on the website shows a wrong description. Also, if I download a pdf of that boon, it shows the wrong text.

The following text is found on Lorespire:

All agents who have gone on at least 2 missions are awarded a free wayfinder, available by downloading the Wayfinder boon in the Achievement Points Boon store (Boons tab of My Organized Play).

This might lead a player to look in the section entitled "Boons Purchasable with Achievement Points".

Unfortunately there are no Wayfinders to be found there - they are instead to be found in the section entitled "Boons Purchasable with Game Rewards".

It might be good to have a section clarifying how many boons of each type that characters can slot in the Player Rewards section. I have noticed that some players have seemed a little confused about boons, particularly new players.

[Darrell Impey UK]

Isn't that covered under Player Rewards: Boons?

Tangentially, don't most of the "slot one of each type" rules only apply in Starfinder Society?

[Tomppa]

There used to be a limit on the number of boons, but now the rules have been reduced to:
"Characters may only benefit from one advanced boon during an adventure." and for promotional boons: "A player may not benefit from more than one of these per session"
You don't need to "slot" boons before the game, either. If you have multiple advanced boons, you can bring all of them to table, but as soon as you use/benefit from one of them, you can no longer benefit from the rest.

Similarly, you can purchase multiple Hireling boons and have all of them with different skills, but as soon as you use one of the hireling boons in an adventure, the other hirelings become unavailable for that scenario. (This is explained on the hireling boon)

Having bought some boons with both Playtest Points and AcP, I double-checked and couldn't find any easy information about which ones are advanced boons so maybe have that more clearly marked in the future?
