Mark Spano is interested in running a Pathfinder Society (PF1) tournament at this March’s GASP Game Day. We’re hoping this won’t be too disruptive of the scenarios we’re running, but we figure we’ll give it a shot and see how it goes!

Register for the event on Warhorn

This will be run in parallel to the normal scenario schedule.

The Rules

• You may enter only one character into the tournament
• Characters must be:
  • A legal, updated PFS1 character
    • You cannot create the character specifically for this event
  • Level 11 or lower
  • Exceptionally high numbers will be questioned and must be supported – have documentation on your bonuses prepared ahead of time!
    • This includes: attack bonuses, saving throw bonuses, damage bonuses, and skill modifiers
  • Familiars and animal companions will be looked at closely
• Tournament Organization
  • Tournament style, single elimination
  • Single bracket
    • There are no separate brackets for level or different types of characters (for example, spellcasting builds and martial builds will be in the same bracket)
  • No seeding–all characters will be randomly seeded for the tournament
• Tournament Play
  • All battles will be 1 on 1
  • Maps and starting position will be randomly selected for each battle
    • There will be multiple spots marked on each map as starting positions. Contestants will each roll a die to determine their starting position.
  • You will have 2 rounds of preparation
    • This will be done without your opponent knowing what you are doing, but each contestant must inform the judge
  • Once the battle begins, all rolls will be out in the open
• Between Rounds
  • You will be unable to purchase items or services between matches.
  • You will not rest between matches. Spells (and slots) expended stay expended. You will be restored to full hit points, however.
  • All beneficial spells and effects end after each match
  • Negative effects that would normally last a day or more will be still in effect (such as negative levels)
  • You may cast spells between matches, however, anything with duration will expire when your next match begins
  • There is no resurrection effect allowed between rounds.

Since this isn’t a PFS sanctioned event, anything that happens to your character in this tournament won’t be official
