The Exchange 4/5 5/5 *

I took advantage of Paizo's sale and bought all the season 0 mods, since it turned out I don't own any of them.

In looking through some of them, they have not been updated to PFS, so mobs don't have CMD/CMB, etc in them. Is there a place that has all of them updated, or as I run them, should I just start fixing the stats myself? I don't mind doing it at all, but if it's already done, why redo the work? :)

It's been on Paizo's to do list for a while.


Page 33-34 of the Pathfinder Society Guide to organized play states what you can and cannot change to update Season 0 scenarios.

To flush out the answer, you can add CMB/CMD stats. If a monster appears in a Pathfinder Bestiary I, II, or III AND has the same CR as the monster in the scenario, you can use the Bestiary version.

(Relevant Guide quotation, pg. 34)

Quote:

Season 0 (Scenarios #1–#28): Season 0 scenarios were written under the 3.5 rules set of the world’s oldest roleplaying game, before the release of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. All 3.5 scenarios are in the process of being updated to the current rules and re-released. In the meantime, scenarios are to be run with minimal changes by GMs, limited to adding CMB/CMD scores to NPCs and monsters and using newly combined skills such as Stealth and Perception instead of Move Silently and Spot. If a creature appears in the scenario that also appears in the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary, Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 2,

or Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 3 and maintains the same CR between both rules sets, you may use the Pathfinder RPG stats in place of the 3.5 stats. This is the only substitution allowed in these scenarios.

So in the case of the Wight which appears in a certain Year 0 module, as the CR of the 3.5 MM wight and Bestiary1 wight are the same, I can simply swap them out? Awesome.

Yes, you can. Although the difference between a 3.5 wight and a Pathfinder wight is so minor (+1 to attack roll, +2 to Fort save, weaker spawn, some skill changes) that I'm not sure I'd use the word "awesome". :-)

Saves me from carrying my 3.5 mm to the game.
