Remaster Notice

Pathfinder Remaster

The Guide to Organized Play will continue to be revised as we work to bring campaign rules in line with the Remaster.

  • Visit this Guide page for information on converting characters and adventures to the Remaster rules.
  • Follow this forum thread for update notifications and to report any issues.

Retired Options



The following rewards are no longer available to buy or earn, but remain in effect for characters who previously gained them. They are reproduced here for reference.

Pathfinder Training

Pathfinder training was retired Nov 15th, 2023. Unless they use the Remaster Rebuild, characters created prior to that date keep the bonus lores and bonus feats they earned prior to that date and Field Commissioned agents keep their extra days of downtime. Characters now receive Pathfinder Provisions, so the list of starting consumables is no longer relevant and is not reproduced here.

Most Pathfinders pass through the Pathfinder Academy on their way becoming agents. During their training, Pathfinder initiates attain a certain level of proficiency in all three schools' teachings, from there some go on to specialize in one of the schools' curricula and build lifelong professional contacts with like-minded scholars while others continue to divide their time among the different schools. These contacts pay out over the course of a Pathfinder's career in the form of gifts from colleagues and access to additional training. In return, the field agent is expected to return the favor by contributing labor, teaching expertise, lab assistance, or more between missions, reinforcing these professional relationships.

Another way to join the Pathfinder Society is via a field commission from another agent or a Venture-Captain of the Society. Characters who received a field commission have fewer connections to the Society's membership, and receive fewer gifts, but have fewer obligations to the society and thus more downtime.

Note that while Field Commission can only be freely chosen at character creation, the other four options can be chosen at any point in the Pathfinder's career, although once chosen they cannot be changed without Retraining.

Characters who have ties to a school or who are Field Commissioned receive a bonus lore at first level. (This replaces the Pathfinder Society Lore that all agents gain by default.) At 5th level they also gain a bonus skill feat.

Characters with ties to schools also have additional options for their starting consumables. Characters may choose consumables based on their level or any lower level. Field Commissioned agents do not receive any starting consumables, but receive additional downtime instead.

Field Commission Downtime

Field Commission agents gain 3 days of down time per XP earned in an adventure instead of 2. If using Slow Track, total all the days of Downtime awarded by the adventure, and then divide by 2 (rounding down if there are fractions).


Playtest Points

Playtest Points (playtest adventures): During the playtest period for the Pathfinder Second Edition core rules, players and GMs did not earn Chronicles when playing the playtest adventures. Instead, each participant earned a number of Playtest Points, which can now be redeemed on your Organized Play account at Paizo. These rewards include Limited-Use boons, the ability to start a character at 2nd or 3rd level to reflect the time spent playing the game, and other minor benefits.

Fame and Faction Boons

Starting in season 2, Adventures no longer give Fame. The Faction boon system was replaced by the Achievement Point System. It is no longer possible to earn *or* spend fame. All purchases must have been made by 1/30/2021, and must be recorded on a chronicle. Boons that have an ongoing effect are listed below.

Faction Boon Errata

Some boons have changed. The boons on this page have been updated to reflect the changes. For ease of reference, the changes are listed below.

  • Alliance Champion boons no longer do anything and have ceased to exist.
  • All characters gain the effect of the Home Region boon for free at character creation. As such, the boon no longer serves any function.
  • Promotional boons are replaced with the current Promotional Boons

Heroic Resurgence

Replace: “Until the end of your next turn, you gain a +1 status bonus to attack rolls, and you also gain a circumstance bonus to your damage rolls, Perception checks, skill checks, and saving throws equal to the noted value (maximum +2 for Reputation tier 3, or +3 for Reputation tier 4).”
With: “Until the end of your next turn, you gain a +2 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, Perception checks, skill checks, and saving throws.”


Crafter’s Workshop

Replace: “When you Craft during Downtime, you do not need to spend 4 days at work before attempting a Crafting check.”
With: “You only need to spend 1 day of downtime before attempting your skill check and subsequently beginning to reduce the item’s effective cost.”
And Remove: “ However, your fellow faction members expect your assistance in return. After slotting this boon to reduce the time needed to Craft an item, you must keep it slotted until you have finished crafting that item.”


Hireling Boons

Replace: “The hireling’s result cannot be modified by class abilities or spells, but it can be improved by a successful Aid check. ”
With: “The hireling doesn’t have or use its own ability modifiers and can never benefit from item bonuses, status bonuses, or fortune effects. Abilities that grant you a circumstance bonus do not grant that circumstance bonus to your hireling even though you are using your action to attempt the check. You cannot aid your own hireling.”

Replace: The hireling does not participate directly in combat
With: You cannot use the hirelings skills except recall knowledge in combat, and the hireling cannot be affected by, or affect combat.

Replace: “Special You can purchase this boon multiple times.”
With: “Special You can purchase this boon multiple times, but may only benefit from one hireling boon on any given adventure”


Faction Reputation

The original Faction Reputation has been replaced by the current system, detailed in Player Rewards. However, the boons below reference the original Faction Reputation and use that chart to determine their effect.

Bequeathal

Pathfinders often find strange treasures for which they might not have any use, yet one of their colleagues would benefit. When you acquire this boon, select one uncommon, rare, or unique character option to which you’ve gained Access through an adventure’s Chronicle sheet (e.g., a boon that allows you to acquire a Special animal companion or purchase a Special magic item). Choose another of your characters. That character gains Access to that Special option instead, though they may only use the option once their level equals or exceeds the lowest level able to play the Chronicle sheet’s adventure (e.g., 5th level for Tier 5–8). On the Chronicle sheet, write “Bequeathed” and the recipient character’s number next to the option. You no longer have Access to that option (and must sell it back if you acquired the option and would no longer qualify for it).
