Pathfinder Tales:

Plague of shadows
Pathfinder Society Organized Play

P
athfinder Tales: Plague of Shadows has now been
incorporated into the Pathfinder Society. This
additional option provides fans of the novels with an
additional way to use content from the book in-game in
a sanctioned format. Because of the differences between
reading a novel and playing a game, this document
outlines the specific rules needed for using sanctioned
content from a Pathfinder Tales novel and provides a
Chronicle sheet for players to use with their characters.

How to USE
Because Pathfinder Tales novels are stories first, there
is no easy way to sanction items, spells, feats, or other
special abilities whole-cloth. Therefore, Plague of Shadows
Chronicle sheets use the following rules.

• Only items, feats, boons, or abilities found on the

Chronicle sheet are legal for play.
• Each player must have a copy of the Chronicle sheet with
his or her character at all times.
• In order for the Chronicle sheet to be considered legal
for play, the player must show to the GM a copy of
Plague of Shadows, either in printed or digital format.

pathfinder tales
chronicle sheets
GMs are advised to work with players to make the
sanctioning of Pathfinder Tales Chronicle sheets easy
and fast. As long as the player has a copy of the book,
she should be able to use the Chronicle sheet just like
any other.
