Shard of Sin and other AP’s in PFS.

5/5 5/55/5

So, my group tried Shard of Sin in PFS and it didn’t work out that well. This is our first foray into trying an AP with PFS rules. The issue is the sanctioned part of the AP is written for a level range of 2 to 4. PFS has it at 3 to 5. My players were averaging level 4. So they just cake walked a dungeon slog leading to 8 hours of game time boredom, with no danger to them what so ever. They still have the final level to complete which toughens things up a bit. But I really feel we wasted about 8 hours of game time with Absolutely no challenges which equals no fun.

So my question is do others AP converted to PFS have the same issues? Or is it just this particular conversion.

I’m leaning to not playing the AP’s as PFS any longer, we tried it, it didn’t work out so we move on.

You can still earn PFS credit playing the AP in "Campaign mode". Just play it how you normally would with non-PFS characters and assign the credit to an appropriately level PFS character. (This is what I am currently doing with Rise of the Runelords.) That could result in more fun/challenge and help advance your PFS characters.

I did Shattered Star in Campaign mode and applied the first sheet to my Cleric. It's not as easy for us as well sort of .. missed a few things and we did the dungeon MOSTLY 3rd levels.

That being said.. the Shard of Pride is AWESOME for a face Cleric. :D
