1 person marked this as a favorite.

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.

It is not a typo. The thing to remember is that for all sub-tiers higher than 1-2 you earn ALL rewards for the lower tiers in addition to the higher tiers. This means your level 6 character has access to any item present in the Sub-tier 6-7, 3-4, AND 1-2 boxes. So in this case, likely in order to save space since the boon/bane is so verbose, it was just placed in the one sub-tier box simply because everybody has access to it, even at the higher tiers.

It would seem to me that you might be short changing your characters in regards to access to equipment.

This is the first time anybody in my group has done a module at Tier 3-4. Now we know, I suppose. Thanks for the tip!

You know that feeling where you laugh at people who don't know the simplest things from the Guide and then you hear something and you're like "Man, I didn't know that"? Well I do, now. :D

Can I get a page number for that?

Step 7: Cross out any treasure items the party didn’t find in the scenario and mark any special boons the players did or did not earn (W); additionally, if you’re running the lower subtier, always cross out all of the items listed for the higher subtier. Return the Chronicle sheet to the player.

I can't anything better than that right now...

That's good enough for me. Thanks, Paz! :)
