How to find hard mode scenarios


Pathfinder Society

3/5

I was curious if there was a way to determine what scenarios offer a hard mode?

I am hoping to play the waking rune soon on hard mode. Since only a few offer hard mode I only want to play those on hard mode.

Is there a list or a way of finding out?

Sealed Gate has a hard mode
You REALLY want to play it in hard mode at high sub-tier :-)

I do, just convincing others is the hard part

It is best to gather a table beforehand and decide to run on Hardmode, as otherwise you can get dissenting opinions.

With a 7th level PC...

As far as I know, there are only two Waking Rune and Weapon in the Rift.

someone said the sealed gate as well.

It seems like a surprise what scenarios have hard mode.

I would like to know before I play them so I can play them in hard mode.

If I go to a con and random people are set with me, well all it takes is one to veto hard mode.

Sealed Gate and Stranger Within certainly have hard mode options

I don't recall a hard mode for Stranger Within

Apologies - no hard mode on Stranger Within - blame it on old age

The hard part about hard mode is someone always votes against it, or at least this has been my experience.

I think it really doesn't help that many people feel the "hard mode" scenarios themselves are too difficult, without the additional challenge of hard mode. I personally have liked all of the hard mode scenarios I've played and GMed (waiting for a table of hard mode Weapon in the Rift).

Good luck, you'll need it! ;-)

We should probably also compile a list of scenarios that are always hard mode - all parts of Bonekeep, obviously, but there are at least a few more, especially from season 4. And the new Silver Mount Collection, at least at low tier.

I agree. Thats why if I knew before hand I could muster a table of hardmode like minded sorts and go through them in the their hard mode glory.

I played hard weapons in the rift.

I am mustering one of the waking rune. I just would hate to miss out on a hard mode if I do not knwo they are coming. I wish PFS management advertised what scenarios offered hard modes, and then put this advert where they could be easily found.
