Out of Tier Gold Question

[Hendo897]

Hey was playing today and the level comp of our table put us into the 4-5 subtier of a level 1-5 scenario. A couple of the people at the table were level 2 and when things were all wrapped up and done the GM only gave the level 2 players the gold for the subtier 1-2 but the game was played in the 4-5 subtier. Should they not have gotten out of tier gold and therefore the average gold amounts between subtier 1-2 and 4-5. Just wondering if I've misinterpreted this rule in the past?

You are correct. Levels 1-3 should get out of tier gold; levels 4-5 should get the full gold amount.

Thanks for the answer so how would my friend go about rectifying that on his chronicle sheet?

Contact the GM or event organiser to have new chronicle sheets issued to the level 2 players (or for the GM to sign off on the changes).

Looks like he never read the Tier gold rules in the Free Guide to Organised Play.

Pen, pencil, crayon. Take your pick.

I say paintbrush.

In any game in Sociaty, the character is either in tier or out of tier. This change is better for the average gold rewards and makes playing down not hurt so much.

The flip side is that the players are no longer in control of what tier they want to play, as it is the party make up that determines the tier now, with a very narrow exception note in the guide.

Yeah the folks I was playing with basically told me and my friend that we were wrong and then proceeded to insult our intelligence. Really I just wanted to make sure that I had a firm gasp on the out-of-tier gold rules and I wasn't being the hardheaded ass. Turns out though I wasn't so I think me and my friends will just avoid playing at that location or with that GM in the future. Thank you all for your help.

Hendo897, as PFS GMs are required to abide by the rules in the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play, I would privately get in contact with your event coordinator or the local Venture Officers and let them know what happened as this GM may just need a reminder of the Season 5 changes.

And, on the obverse side, other than very limited circumstances before the change, the players didn't have much control over the sub-tier that they played in before the change, as well.
