I purchased HERALD’S CHOSEN in hopes of adding more value to my base set/adventure deck collection. I had previously reviewed the Season of the Shackles guide and was surprised to find the tier system in the Righteous guide.
Because the rewards are now distributed between the Guild Adventures and the Guild Guide, I wanted to make sure I understood how they are doled out. I plan to ignore the early advancement aspect of increasing your tier, for what its worth.
Rewards (Guild Adventure Reward)[Guild Guide Reward]:
1-1A: Cloven Trail (Random weapon, spell, or item) [Skill Feat]
1-1B: Instant Inquisition (Access to Scale of Disguise) [Power Feat]
1-1C: Get to Fort Clearwater (Random armor or ally) [You get nothing! You lose! Good day, sir]
1-1D: Crusaders Assemble! (Boon from Pile) [Card Feat]
1-1E: Ladies Who Lunch... with Demons (Access to Sacred Prism) [Nothing]
1-1: Herald's Chosen (Skill Feat) [Die Bump, Tier 2]
So I'd have 2 Skill Feats, a Power and Card Feat, and some other stuff by the end of 1-1, correct?
Really, you lose because you don't get a feat every single scenario?
Anyways, you have the progression correct. The way this is done is because in store play people will tend to play out of order more often than not, and may have to go up a Tier without having completed the adventure to catch up.
Wait now I am confused. Zeroth_hour you confirmed in a previous post this tier progression:
1-1A Skill
1-1B Power
1-1C Nothing
1-1D Card and Tier 2
1-1E Skill
1-1 completion gets remainder of Tier 2 (get Power and Card feat by completing adventure 1) Tier 3 (die bump)
1-2A Skill
You only advance to Tier 2 ahead of time if you choose to do so. As a general rule, you should not do so. It's only really there for groups where someone is missing frequent sessions, or someone needs to rapidly catch up to a group.
So, as a general use case, and especially in the OP's situation where "I plan to ignore the early advancement aspect of increasing your tier, for what its worth.", Zeroth_hour is correct.
