Secondary Success
Conditions
A t the beginning of Season 5 of the Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign, the means by which a PC earns
Prestige Points and Fame changed. Before, a PC earned Prestige Points by completing faction missions (short
missions assigned by the respective head of the faction) and by completing the scenario’s main mission. With
few exceptions, these faction missions are no longer tied to earning Prestige Points, but the players may opt to receive
and perform these missions for Season 0–4 scenarios for no special benefit. In those few cases where the scenario still
uses the faction missions, treat members of the Grand Lodge faction as though they were members of the Osirion
faction, treat members of the Sczarni faction as though they were members of the Taldor faction, and treat members of
the Silver Crusade faction as though they were members of the Andoran faction.
In Season 5, a scenario’s individual faction missions have been replaced by a secondary success condition, which
typically ties into exceeding the goal established in the mission briefing, finding an additional boon, securing a long-
term ally, not damaging the reputation of the Pathfinder Society, or generally exceling at the tasks set before them.
Whereas the primary success condition is the task assigned by a venture-captain at the beginning of the scenario, the
secondary success condition is not explicitly told to the players or PCs; each of the latter is intended to be realistically
26202855 4749275

achievable by an attentive group despite being a “secret” objective.

The primary and secondary success conditions for each active scenario published prior to Season 5 is included below
in order of publication. A group that fulfills the primary success condition earns 1 Prestige Point. A group that fulfills
the secondary success condition earns an additional Prestige Point. Several secondary success conditions are labeled
“Individual,” in which case each PC must meet the condition independently to earn the Prestige Point.
