AP Chronicle Boon Full-text in PFS2e FAQ

[Red Griffyn]

I'm wondering if there is any intention to include any full text boon information like is done for book sources in the PFS FAQ for any of the AP chronicle sheet ACP boon awards.

For example there are many resurrection feats available from the Season of Ghosts: To Bloom Below but the pre-boon text just says:

Season of Ghosts: To Bloom Below the Web–Once More, With Feeling
This character, as well as any resurrected characters, gain access to new feats. Must have played To Bloom Below the Web to download.

I'd love to apply my chronicle to a character that can actually use these specific feats, but I've been burnt before on things like when feats or specific items were excluded from the more specific full boon text.

So two questions:
1.) Does anyone have insight on that boon and whether the reincarnated ridiculer feat is on the list.

2.) Will the PFS FAQ be updated with those boons that allow access a subset list of items/feats/archetypes like was done for books like treasure vault.

No intention. You're not supposed to know the specifics before applying.

You're supposed to apply where you want the xp, not have to carefully boon plan. If you do want the boon rewards somewhere specifically you can always move around with Bequeathal later.

Yet they already do provide text for boons for playing certain adventures that give access to character options like archetypes, items, companions, etc? Seems inconsistent/arbitrary doesn't it?

What is fundamentally different from the boons they've full texted in the FAQ that require you to have played age of ashes and agents of edgewatch vs. the one that has you playing ghost of seasons? I think they took a step in the right direction and continue the good work.

If a boon is giving you 'access' to a character option, its better to know what that is in full instead of burn 10s of ACP on 'moving everything around'. It doesn't mean we shouldn't have bequethal in case you apply it and later realize that you wanted that access 'over there' for a new character concept. But for AP chronicle boons where typically you're just playing a home game/campaign and likely sitting on 4-5 sheets that won't get applied until the 1-2 PFS players at the table beg for it to be applied it make zero sense to obfuscate it.

Some of the characters options are build defining? Like you wouldn't suddenly take a weird archetype on your 'I've built this PC out to to L14 character' who might be locked out of another archetype for 6-8 levels until they can pay the 1-2 feat archetype feat exit tax.

The boons from Age of Ashes and Agents of Edgewatch are ones that you can buy with ACP. There are no chronicles for playing Agents of Edgewatch, and they released the ACP boons for Age of Ashes, since it was the first AP (or one of the first?). They might eventually release ACP boons for more APs.

I'm not saying it makes sense, or I even like it, was just answering your question.

Just noting again that this situation does not exist. The boons for Agents of Edgewatch, Age of Ashes, and Blood Lords that appear in the FAQ are boons purchasable with Achievement Points regardless of whether or not you have played the APs. They are not the boons available from the chronicle sheets for the APs. There are no boons from the chronicle sheets for any APs in the FAQ. Some of the options from the Age of Ashes ACP boons likely overlap with the ones you can get from the chronicles, but they are only on the FAQ because they are purchasable with ACP.

I think that's exaggerated.

For PFS scenarios you're not supposed to boon-hunt to try to play a specific scenario with a specific character because you know the reward.

But these are APs we're talking about, you don't play them with a PFS character anyway, so that reason isn't relevant.

I think this is more a side effect of just habit/technical limitations, than the result of a specific intention.
