Are the ethnic types of Azlanti, Chelaxians, Garundi, Keleshite and so on, permissible in Society play? I wanted to be sure they were as the 'guide to organized play' only states "all of the options in the PH are available to you". They are all 'fluff' barring the Low Azlanti, or gillmen, who have some stat changes.

Also, I'd love to know if prestige classes are permissible. And if they are which ones? There are four (five if you count the lawful evil aligned Red Mantis Assassin, which I'd assume is not permissible in Society play due to evil alignment) in the 'Campaign Setting' guide and there is the free prestige class enhancement in the 'my downloads' section of this site.

There is no reference to prestige classes or these 'ethnicities' in the society organized play guide, so I'd really appreciate an official ruling on this, as they could enhance my players game tremendously if applicable. Thanks!

**I posted this first in the GM section of this forum, but as this thread seems to get a fair more number of reads and I need the question answered sooner rather than later I posted it here as well. Not trying to flood the forums or anything, just want to get the answer to my players so we can get started as soon as possible.**

PrCs are not currently allowed in Pathfinder Society play. We fully expect that to change with the shift to the PF RPG in August, but for now, base classes only - and only the ones in the PHB.


As far as "fluff" goes (e.g. what ethnic group your character belongs to), you can make up anything you want, I imagine.


You can be a certain ethnic race in PFS, but so far as stats you would be a stock human.

That. :-)


Thanks for the info guys!


What about the class options (or feats) from the campaign settings?

Not for Season 0 (just equipment and "fluff"). For Season 1, who knows?

For clarification then:

I could have a Falcata (and take the obiviously need Exo Weapon Pro) and be "trained" in Taldor but I can not take the Fighter alternate class feature, or the Taldor duelist feat from the campaign settings (the duelist feat from the faction feats however is available), correct?

That seems right on to me.
