So during dinner at GenCon with some friends I came up with the idea of having the GenCon Paizo/ Pathfinder Society buttons provide a perk in Society play and was wondering what all my fellow PFS colleagues thought as well.
I think much like a shirt provides a free re-roll of a d20, a button could provide a one time bonus per scenario of +2 to any skill check, attack roll, saving throw, or day job check. I think it would be a good way for people to get the word out still and provide a secondary meaning to the button (aside from the awesome artwork on it and the pride of being a PFS gamer). I do not feel it is too powerful and provides an alternative use of pushing you to making an attack, or a save without wasting your t-shirt re-roll on a result that may be pretty good already.
Looking forward to the feedback...Game On!!

IMO: going to the conventions gives you access to a ton of boons that are only available at conventions, which can be expensive to attend - while the shirts & character folio, while they cost money, are available everywhere. To bestow yet another perk for having the money and time to go to a convention would start to cause more class-ism gripes within the realm of Organized Play.
I've already seen too many posts calling out anger at the Race Boons for this same reason. And while I agree that having the boons is a great draw for the cons, this would be a line I'd rather not see Paizo cross.

I do not feel that the use of the buttons, should they be applied in this manner, is a power creep. It would not be accessing new races, feats, equipment, etc.. but merely a +2 bonus per scenario.
What would be the perk of a convention if it did not allow you access to things you may not normally get in your PFS region. In this circumstance the perk is small yet useful at times but nowhere near a game breaker or cause for elitist play.
