GM Reward question / item access?

[SteveMND]

I apologize if this has been answered previously. I searched the forums, but didn't seem to find anything specific to this particular question.

I understand from the campaign rules that GMs 'eating' a mod gain 1xp, 1/2 level-appropriate gold, and 1/2 faction points. It also specifically mentions that the character they apply it to does NOT gain access to "special bonuses [...] such as free magical treasure, boons, or bonus dice rolls in the future."

However, what category does 'regular' item access on an AR fall into? If the AR includes access to an otherwise normal, standard magic item that would be appropriate to the character level of the PC the rewards are being applied to, does the GM's character get that access?

Also, while I'm thinking about it, what if your GM character is, say, lvl 3? Would he get 1/2 gold as per the 1-2 tier, or 1/2 gold as per the 4-5 tier?

Thanks in advance,
Steve M

The GM will get access to any regular magic items on the chronicle and 1/2 gold for the tier that was run, assuming that their character is legal for that tier, and it is the first time they (the person) have played/GM'd the scenario.
