Chronicle sheet error? #02 The Hydra's Fang Incident

[supervillan]

I'm auditing one of my characters who has recently levelled up, and it looks like I might have found an error on the chronicle sheet for scenario #02, The Hydra's Fang Incident.

Specifically, the max gold reward to Tier 4-5 says 1038gp. This is way under the norm for the tier (generally a Tier 4-5 awards around 1900gp.) This is what is printed on the chronicle sheet as the max gold, it's not a case of the party missing some of the treasure in the playthrough.

I expect that the chronicle sheet is in error, but I did not find any mention of this anywhere on the forums. It's such an old scenario that I did not want to necro the original GM thread.

Is it an error? Was there ever an official correction?

I don't think it's an error. For the most part, many of the season 0s how lower gold than usual at higher tiers. Mostly, it's an issue of carry over from 3.5 to Pathfinder as its own system.

Looking back over some of my other season 0 chronicles, there is definitely a much wider variation in max gold rewards, especially in the earlier scenarios. It looks like by the mid twenties or thereabouts there was a more regular pattern.

Not really a problem for the character in this case - Exchange faction benefits will more than make up for it!

If the season 0 scenarios ever do get updated for the PF ruleset, that would be an opportunity to "normalise" the max gold rewards.
