Scenario 0-3C Jungle Boogie from adventure 0-3 Treacherous Waters still lists

as the reward. I believe this has been missed in the January update of the Season of the Shackles adventures to the new tier system. What should the reward be with the new system?

I always just assumed we got a bonus feat. Sometimes they're nice like that.

It's possible. Adventure 0-4 also gives a special extra skill feat with the provision you can assign it anytime later in the adventure path, just not while in an encounter. The reward in 0-3C, however, looks like all the other feat rewards that have been replaced, so I assume it should be replaced, too. But you never know.

Well, the reward in 0-4A is meant to proxy the loot Valeia (sp?). That was a whole thing at the time. The loot card as a reward would have led to infinite skill points.

Ah, that makes sense of course.

If you look at the seasons, we have bonus feats here and there.

0-3C is a bonus power feat. 0-4A is a bonus skill feat (added when needed). It was not missed. I'm sure that Hawkmoon would be able to find the appropriate thread as this was discussed before.

(Also, AD1-1 is a bonus skill feat. AD1-5 is a bonus power feat. Other examples of bonus feats in Season of the Righteous besides the ones gained from medals.)

I think it's definitely good for there to be occasional feat rewards outside of the tier system.

At some point, it will probably make a lot of sense to go back over those rewards and make each season fair to each other, so there's no reason to consider leveling a character on specific scenarios in order to maximize the benefits. That might take some tricky wrangling to pull off right, though.

Ok then. :)

I'm not sure how well that would work, with Adventure 2 of Wrath being what it is (how many extra skill feats are in that one? Three? Four?).

I can throw together a list of "bonus" feats when I have some time.

That one isn't necessarily a hard fix, since the effects of the army bonus can apply just in SotRi if needed. People might also use it more purely on secondary skills instead of primary skills then, but that's ok. Also, at least it takes an entire adventure to acquire.

The one-off this _scenario_ gives a feat are more difficult, because people could have a list of every scenario that gives a feat benefit and just make sure they do those, preferably as the first scenario whenever they approach the right tier. Perhaps the same "only for this AP" concept needs to apply to all of them, or we decide on a reasonable # of feats that an entire season can give out and limit those in some way, so people don't feel a need to cherry pick their path.

Not that I don't want people to go back and play SotRi or SotS more, but doing it purely for mechanical gain is less desirable.

That said, it's more something I'd like to examine at a later point. The more seasons we have, the more it stands out as a proud nail to do something about :)

Maybe it would make sense to make extra feats adventure rewards, to minimize the system gaming.
