The dragon's demand fourth chronicle sheet question

My group is about to finish playing The Dragon's Demand in campaign mode (not just the sanctioned portions) and I have a question about chronicles for the module. Judging by the amount of gold granted, the fourth chronicle sheet looks like it should grant 1 XP and 2 PP, just like a normal scenario. However, it's not written explicitly anywhere and I want to be sure that I give legal chronicle sheets to my players.
How many XP and PP is the fourth chronicle sheet worth?

The player decides.

It's contained within the text of the Chronicle.

WHOOPS!! Wrong Module. Sorry.

I was about to tell you that I double checked everything before asking questions :)
Can you tell what module you're talking about? I guess it should work the same way in The Dragon's Demand.

I'll have to go digging through them to find out. Maybe From Shore to Sea?

Nope. Not that, either.

I've noticed that line on the first page but it'd mean that I have to give terrible chronicle sheets for playing through an awesome module (1000 gold/3XP at lvl 2 or 1500 gold/3XP at lvl 4 is definitely not how it should work).
Anyway, thanks for the help and good night.

I'd love to know the answer to this as well.

Based on what it says, I'd assume it does grant full XP and PP just like a normal chronicle. It says each chronicle does, and doesn't have any language excluding the 4th.

If you're playing the adventure in campaign mode, can you assign the fourth Chronicle to a different character, whom you don't intend to play?

Full text from the "Receiving Credit" section of the instructions that are included with the chronicles:

Receiving Credit wrote:

Players who play through one of the sanctioned segments of the module receive the associated Chronicle sheet. A GM who runs the module may likewise apply credit to any one of her Pathfinder Society PCs of the appropriate level. The decision of which character to apply credit to must be made when the Chronicle sheet is received and signed by the GM. Each Chronicle sheet awards 3 XP and 4 Prestige Points, or 1–1/2 XP and 2 Prestige Points for characters on the slow advancement track.

Players who play through the entire module (not just the sanctioned portions) using the alternate play option detailed above and apply all three Chronicle sheets to the same Pathfinder Society character earn a fourth Chronicle sheet that must also be applied to that character.

Thanks for checking, Tony.

So, if you want to avoid the fourth Chronicle, you might have to apply one of the first three Chronicles to a second PC.

Just don't apply the 4th Chronicle.

I somehow didn't notice the must be applied part, thanks for pointing that out. Seems like applying one of the three main sheets to a different character is the only way to avoid a chronicle sheet that is detrimental to the character's wealth. It won't be an issue for most of my group since we are GMs with an abundance of XP any way, but it'll be a pity for a player who doesn't get to play often and enjoyed the idea of getting quite a boost for his only PFS character.

That'd be against the RAW even though it doesn't make much sense in this case.

This has already been answered in a similar thread earlier.(http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2q5q0?Dragons-demand-bonus-chronicle-s heet-question)

This is on purpose. The 4th Chronicle sheet's wealth is intended to fill in the gaps where a PC would level, ensuring that the PC receives a touch more than WBL gold as a 4-Chronicle-sheet package.

For example, earning the 3rd Chronicle sheet at its minimum level (5) would mean that for that sheet the character is earning more gold than might otherwise happen. As a result, the 4th level sheet that would get him to 5th level gives less gold, balancing out to grant the "proper" amount.

I've got to search better next time.
