Our GM is trying to figure out a better way to spread out the awards, since getting 6 PP all at once means suddenly a bunch of magic can be purchased and he'd prefer to give it out 2 PP at a time and force players to budget.  |
There are two methods to go through a full module like that.
Either you can play through it completely as a home game or purely as PFS. Either way, you can get credit for PFS, but the results are slightly different.
If you play it as a home game, you must play through the entire AP as a home game. Afterward, you are able to give an existing character the credit for the individual parts.
If you play it as a PFS scenario, you only play through a specific section, and you must do so with your existing PFS character. In which case, you gain the full level and Prestige all at once, because it is the result of going through that entire dungeon (the marked location is usually the final/biggest dungeon of the book).
Gaining 6PP (which I believe eeyore is correct, it should only be 4) is not a huge difference. Most of the tiers where you gain access to purchase magic items happen at 5-10 Fame increments, so gaining 4/6 all at the end versus a couple here and there shouldn't affect balance hardly at all.
