#3-01: Frostfur Captives Gold Error?

[zean]

I just looked over Frostfur Captives, and I noticed the gold for that scenario says "Tier 3-4", and the gold itself is really really low for a Tier 4-5 scenario. Is there some sort of error?

[Jim Groves]

Yes, there is. This has come up before. I'll see if I can find the relevant posts.

It's come up in at least two or three different threads, but there is actual developer discussion here.

Hope this helps

Oh, I see. So was it errata'd, or is the official Gold Count really 1300 GP? O.o

The scenario was not changed. What Mark was referring to is an internal tool that writers and developers use to chart out the treasure to make sure the treasure is correct and accurate. Basically he made it more difficult to make a mistake.

It has been determined the error is not drastic enough to change the PDF. Its over a year old and the real world productivity costs of changing it are considered prohibitive compared to the actual impact on characters. For what its worth, I'm sincerely sorry about the mistake.

EDIT: Its not your imagination if this post changed. I cleaned up my sentence syntax twice! I was speed posting. :D

Huh. In that case, can this scenario be treated as a Tier 3-4 scenario since it says that on the Chronicle Sheet? (Not trying to be mean, I'm actually pretty serious about that, we have people that can play into Tier 3-4, but not into Tier 4-5.)

Sorry Zean, that's above my pay grade. I'm not authorized to make campaign decisions like that.

I don't think you're being mean. You're being polite and forthright. I don't take it personally. I truly wish I could help.
