Oh, and if you are calling me out, fine. Here is my scenario. Yes I hit 5th level after my first run this year. But the real issue is that in 2015 I will also hit 6th level after one (hardcore or nightmare) run. Unless there is a change in the system, I will miss out next year.
If you get your 5th Level Medallion between GENCON 2014 and 2015, you will be able to use that Medallion at GENCON 2015 to get your extra token, so you don't miss out. Right?
I see three possible scenarios
First, this years system stays in place. Then you are correct.
Second, a new level reward item is created for level 6. Then I miss out.
Third, the old XP desk makes a come back. Then I am fine as well.
I was assuming the second scenario. IIRC it was hinted that this years system was a temporary fix, not permanent.
In any case, it could all be solved by having the item on hand at the on site store.
Edit: A Fourth scenario. The Medallion will be bumped up to being the level 6 reward. But I doubt this will be done.
