It seems to me that PFS writers have an unhealthy obsession with sending swarms at first level characters. If you don't have reliable splash or area effect damage, you're done. Not cool. I've also seen scenarios written for first level characters that include DR 5 mobs that aren't even bosses. One mod we ran 1rst levels though even had a boss with both DR AND fast healing, not to mention flight.

The culprit:
Yes, Beggar's Pearl, I'm looking at you.

I imagine challenge was the aim, but I cry foul. A module should be challenging, yes, but not structured such that only a certain party configuration can even face it. Add to this the fact that first level characters die if a party member sneezes on them too hard. DR and Swarms should be used with extreme reluctance on first level characters.

I just ran my group through the Pallid Plague (#43) the other day. It was a great mod, but when it came time to fill out our society sheets, we had a problem.

Our problem is this: There are 2 perpetual awards or penalties that apply after the scenario. The problem is that these rewards are listed for tier 1-2 and not the others.

This seems like a typo to us. Other Mods with end rewards/punishments I've we've have them listed under "all tiers." Please tell us this is a flub and not poor design.
