In addition to adventure rewards, players can also choose to use the optional rewards systems in this section.
Achievement Points
Players earn Achievement Points (AcP) by participating in and reporting Paizo Organized Play games. AcP is an online currency used to purchase character Boons. Each Organized Play program has its own separate pool of AcP. The Boons tab of your My Organized Play page lists AcP Boons available for purchase.
Events are given different multipliers for the base AcP earned based on number of games played, regularity, and so on. Current event classifications are:
Table: Event Type and AcP
| Event type | Examples | AcP multiplier | Player AcP (1 Scenario) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | • home games • one-time events |
1.00 | 4 |
| Standard Plus | • regular local gamedays • conventions with <15 games run |
1.25 | 5 |
| Standard Convention | conventions with 15-74 games | 1.50 | 6 |
| Premier Convention | conventions with 75+ games | 1.75 | 7 |
| Premier Plus Convention | PaizoCon, Origins, GenCon | 2.00 | 8 |
Boons
Boons are small in-game rewards distributed for a variety of reasons, including playing certain adventures, attending events, and supporting charities. Boons must be stored or recorded alongside your adventure Chronicles and presented to GMs on request.
Achievement Point, Chronicle, and Game Reward Boons can be found on the Boons tab of your My Organized Play page. To purchase a Boon, select a character from the dropdown list, then click the purchase button of the desired Boon. A list of purchased Boons appears at the bottom of the page, including a link to download a PDF copy of the Boon sheet for each Boon.
Boon sheets are part of your records, stored with your Chronicles in either digital or physical form and available for inspection.
Boons have no cash value. You cannot sell a Boon to another player.
You can only apply one copy of any Boon to a character unless the Boon states otherwise.
By contrast, as a player you can earn more than one copy of some Boons. The following rules are the default for how many copies of a Boon a player can earn:
- Chronicle Boons are earned by completing adventures. By default, Scenarios are repeatable and each of your characters can earn one copy of the Chronicle Boon for a particular Scenario.
- 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.
As usual, specific rules override general rules, so the text of an individual Boon takes precedence over the default rules above.
Types of boons include:
- Achievement Point Boons: Players earn Achievement Points (AcP) by participating in and reporting Starfinder Society games. AcP can be used online to purchase Boons.
- Chronicle Boons: Some adventures award an additional Boon. Once the game has been reported on paizo.com, players and GMs can download the Boon from the Boons tab of your My Organized Play page and apply it to the character that received credit for the adventure.
Retail Incentive Program
The Retail Incentive Program (RIP) rewards players with benefits for their characters when they patronize retailers who provide space for Organized Play activities. Purchases made at the location within a stated time period are added together by table and unlock benefits at different levels for the next game played, including some that reduce the severity of failures. Implementation methods vary from store to store and are posted for attendees to review. For more information, read the full policy and consult your Event Organizer for details.
