Mask of the Living God Point Buy

I am planning to run the Mask of the Living God module this weekend and I just learned that modules and APs are designed for a 15 point buy. Does that apply to all modules?

My players intended to use their PFS characters, but I'll have to make them roll up level 3's using 15 points. Please clarify, if you can. Thanks!

Pretty much everything non-PFS is balanced around 15 point buy, but honestly the difference between 15 and 20 is fairly minimal. I wouldn't make a group write up new characters just over that. If your group stomps all over everything normally you might consider lowering their PB, but I get the impression that you'd rather just let them roll witheir PFS characters. You're not doing it "wrong" if you let them have slightly higher stats.


The difference between 15 and 20 point buy is generally +1 to attack and damage, or 1 more skill point per level, 1 more spell at level 1 if they manage to get their casting stat to 20, or one more round of Rage/Performance/whatever is based on a particular stat. It's not a big difference.
