What happens when you GM a Scenario / Module at a higher tier than you first GM'd?

[harmor]

Example: GMing a sub-tier 4-5 when you first got credit at sub-tier 1-2

1) Anything happen besides getting credit for the second time?
2) If so, can you apply the higher tier boons if the character is still alive?
3) If so, what about the item and gold rewards at the higher tier?

You only can get credit (and therefore any associated boons and treasure) twice for playing a scenario/module (with the exception of Tier 1 adventures): once for playing as a player and once for GMing it. If you GM the same scenario a second time, you get no experience/money/boons other than increasing your GM star rating once the scenario has been reported. It doesn't matter if you GM it at a different Tier than what you had GM'd it before.

Hope that answers your questions.

Yes it does. Thanks Alex. I guess since now we have to apply GM credit immediately we can't take the higher sub-tier.

Also, the two chronicles (one as player, one as GM) can't be assigned to the same PC.

Also, you always have the option of NOT taking GM credit the first time you GM the scenario/module. You only get to take GM credit for it once, but it doesn't have to be the first time you run it. So if you want to let your PC get a few more levels so they qualify for the higher sub-tier first, you could always not take GM credit until your PC is ready, then run the adventure again and take your GM credit for the later session instead.

The tier you get credit for is based on the level of the character, not the level you ran. If you run subtier 1-2 and assign the Chronicle to a level 5 character, you'd get credit for subtier 4-5, not subtier 1-2.

The subtier for which a GM’s character receives credit depends on the character’s level. If a GM with a 1st-level rogue runs a Tier 1–5 scenario using Subtier 1–2, shetakes a Subtier 1–2 Chronicle sheet for her 1st-level rogue. If she instead runs a Tier 1–5 scenario using Subtier 4–5, she still takes a Subtier 1–2 Chronicle sheet, as her PC clearly falls within the lower subtier.
