Slow Advancement Prestige Question

I know that Slow Advancement halves Prestige received during the scenario, i.e. 1/2 PP for scenario completion, 1/2 PP for faction completion. But what about those boons that give prestige? The PFS Guide doesn't mention those at all, just calls out the above. Would this be 1 PP on Slow, or 1/2 PP?

Boons are independent of the slow or fast track, unless stated otherwise.

Additionally, contents of chronicle sheets are usually deemed as spoilers, so I would edit your comment with a spoiler if you still can, or move it to the GM discussion forum.

Fangwood Keep:
I would agree that this seems quite more powerful on the slow track than the regular track. However, nothing leads me to believe that it would work different on the slow track as written

I was reading the guide to organized play, and couldn't find the bit about slow advancement halfing prestige. It came up in aq scenario, and we looked.

Am I just blind?

It states that a max prestige a character can get per a scenairo is 1 PP, it is not halved, it is just maxed. I do not have the guide with me however.

Short answer...yes ;)

Longer answer, here you go...

The Guide pg. 35 wrote:

Step 4: Determine how many Prestige Points the

character earned over the course of the scenario. A
character on the standard advancement track can earn
a maximum of 2 Prestige Points: 1 PP for each mission
completed. A character on the slow advancement
track can earn a maximum of 1 Prestige Point: 1/2 PP for
each mission completed.
Enter the number of Prestige Points
earned in the shaded Prestige Gained field and initial the
adjacent box (L).

EDIT:

And since they were discussion a module to start:

Playing a module or sanctioned content from an

Adventure Path from beginning to end earns a character
3 XP and 4 Prestige Points if that character is on the
medium advancement track, or 1-1/2 XP and 2 Prestige
Points for characters on the slow advancement track.

Cool. I'll just need to have Jim fix my sheet when he gets a chance. No biggie. :-)

It worked that way when Slow Advancement was initially introduced, but was changed fairly quickly after (at least by the start of the next season).

To the OP - no other boons are halved, so unless there is a specific clarification you'd get full prestige from a boon granting that.
