Modules and pp

Silver Crusade 1/5

Today i decided to create character (going into carrion hill), whom i sent gm chronicles (first 3 levels of the emerald spire), and suddenly, first time in my character building/advancing, my face hit the famewall, and looking that "4rth" adventure will be module too, i realy got a thought that my character gonna be weak for a while.
So - why modules do not give 6 pp, as usual pathfinder agent gains per level? Is this reason that they get more gold/items found/boons (cuz i clearly do not know if it is true)?

Society doesn't assume you'll always earn your secondary prestige point in every scenario. Modules seem to assume you'll complete about half of them, and round down to 4. Emerald Spire at least gives you a pretty easy way to get extra prestige and fame out of it via the Land Rush chronicle sheet.

For me it was EXTREMLY rare when group didn`t get second pp. For my 44 games played this happened only once.

About land rush - it allows for 6 levels be 5 fame. One land is free, and all others (exept start) costs 1pp (if we going only fame way) Still falls behind.

Actual PFS content has higher rewards than generic PF content.

So successful missions you do for the Pathfinder Society Scenarios give more Society fame than Pathfinder Modules.

(This is not a rule, it's just an observation)

If you've played primarily earlier Seasons, using newer character options, that's probably about right.

If you've played primarily newer Seasons, then it sounds like you're extremely lucky or skilled.

But the assumption by Campaign Leadership was always that Prestige earned should be somewhere between half and full.

Modules are constructed with that in mind.

And if you played during the first Seasons, you cried the whole way to the bank...

Yup, i felt early seasons pretty well when undead ogre made 2 one-shots in two round, and we has been made undead. Still it`s pretty cool.

In one of the newest scenarios i got killed too, but that was crit+very high dmg rolls. Still, even without me they finished last encounter and got 2pp.
