Queries regarding PFS2E ancestry unlock & chronicle sheet option unlock achievement point boons


GM Discussion


Hi, all.

First query: Chronicle sheets that GMs earn for running adventures count as the GM 'playing through' the adventure, correct?

I will be running the Quest for the Frozen Flame adventure path later this year, which will unlock the following acheivements for my players and myself:

Quest for the Frozen Flame: Burning Tundra - Mammoth Achievement

Quest for the Frozen Flame: Burning Tundra - Megafriend

Additional Queries:

Does unlocking the ability to take the mammoth lord archetype apply to ALL your PFS2E PCs?

The PFS2E PC a player selects the mammoth lord archetype for does not have to be from the Realm of the Mammoth Lords nor has to ever have been there to select the unlocked archetype, correct?

For example, if someone gains the mammoth lord and megafauna animal companon unlock achievement boons, they could take the mammoth lord archetype and select a megafauna animal companion if they are from Valashmai in Tian Xia (another place that has megafauna), and never would have needed to travel to the Realm of the Mammoth Lords as part of unlocking the ability to select the mammoth lord archetype, correct?

If a GM (or player) assigns multiple chronicle sheets to a PFS2E PC with 0 XP they have never played in a session, which makes the PFS2E PC be higher than level 2, and before playing that PC, the player purchases a rare ancestry unlock, can the GM (or player) apply that ancestry to the PFS2E PC they have applied multiple chronicle sheets to (making the PC 3rd level or higher), if they have not built the PC yet (nor played the PC in any session yet).

Does the 'free rebuild window' end as soon as a PFS2E PC earns enough credit to make them 2nd level (without ever playing in a session), or is the free rebuild window still open until the PC has been used in an actual play session, even if they have earned enough chronicle sheets to make them 3rd level or higher before building the PC and playing them in their first session?

Ex Venture and just coming back to the hobby but if I understand correctly.

First Query: Yes, the chronicle sheet doesn't differentiate GM and player so whatever on a chronicle sheet assigned to that character would not be different.

The archetype will not apply to ALL your psf2e, but you can assign it to one of your psf2e PC. The boon can likely only be assigned once,

Chronicle Boons are earned by completing adventures. You can earn up to two copies of each Chronicle Boon, one as a player and one as a GM. You can use Replays to earn additional Chronicle Boons.

AcP Boons are bought with Achievement Points (AcP). Unless otherwise specified, you can buy as many copies of AcP Boons you qualify for as you can afford.
All other Boons limit you to one copy each.

In my experience with GM XP, your character isn't locked until you play your first session. i.e. free rebuild until PC has played in an actual session. Some GMs I know, and I've done it myself have placeholder PCs they assign chronicles to without building the PC until they feel like it, immediately building a level 3 or 4 PC.


Thanks, Batpony.
