As the subject says, will PFS1 scenarios be offered at Gen Con this year? Specifically, the higher level later seasons scenarios such as 10-22 and 10-23 (the Passing the Torch two-part from 2019 I believe). I'm trying to find something for my level 18 monk, besides possibly Shattered Star book 6. Thanks all!

I'm a traditionalist. Pepsi with real sugar.

Yeah - I don't think that's true. You can houserule it that way - but it's just that - a houserule.

Or maybe a "horserule."

I always prepare my characters as if they will be audited. Everything is noted/documented on my character sheets themselves and on older chronicles. I always have my chronicles and updated ITS for each of my characters. My math is correct. That's how I assist the GMs running for me. It works. GMs appreciate it and it keeps me on my toes regarding rules and rules changes.

OK, so I just found the answer to my own question. I had a chance to finally look at a hard copy second printing of UM and sure enough it matches the .pdf exactly. For whatever reasons, the developers decided the vow of silence was enough of a sacrifice to reward it the same as the vow of poverty. Hello, 17 extra Ki points.

I have a question for the developers, and I apologize in advance if this has already been discussed as I was not able to find anything on the subject.

Per the PRD, a vow of silence gives a player one extra Ki point per six monk levels. However, the Ultimate Magic .pdf (Second printing; January, 2012) I just purchased and downloaded last weekend indicates the same vow gives a player one extra Ki point for every monk level. I could not find any errata or FAQ which states anything to the contrary.

So, my burning question is which is correct? I am playing The Moonscar this weekend with my PFS 16th level monk and need a ruling as the difference in Ki points would be huge - 16 additional Ki points vs. 2 additional Ki points. Please help!

This is most helpful as I am on a mission convert my brother from 4e to PF.

A truly noble cause. Well done!

I am hoping to receive a ruling or clarification regarding my situation. Would Michael Brock, Mark Moreland, Sean K. Reynolds, or anyone else in a position to officially rule on this, please respond?

My level 11 monk advanced to level 12 (33 xp) by playing the Season 2 special Year of the Shadow Lodge on 2/18/2012. On 3/3/2012, I played him at slow advancement in the Ruby Phoenix Tournament sanctioned module. He is currently at 34.5 xp as a result of the slow advancement. Per the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play version 4.1 (page 21):

"When playing the Tier 12 scenarios, characters receive XP, Prestige Points, and GP—halving each if they use the slow advancement track—as normal. While characters are generally restricted from playing beyond their tier (as explained in Chapter 7), should a PC reach 13th level during a multipart Tier 12 arc, she may play the final installments as a 13th-level character; this is the only exception to the normal tier restrictions."

I was led to believe I could play the Ruby Phoenix Tournament sanctioned module as a new level 12 at slow advancement (earning 1.5 xp instead of 3 xp), and still be eligible to play the Eyes of the Ten four-part level 12 retirement arc since my character is still level 12 to begin the arc. Based on the exception quoted above, I would be allowed to complete the arc at level 13, although I'm not sure at what point in the arc I would advance to said level.

Was the information I received correct? If not, what are my options, if any, at this point?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
