I have run Masters of the Fallen Fortress twice in the past week... here's the race brake-down for the PCs (if I'm remembering it correctly)
First game had 4 players: Elf, Tiefling, and 2x Aasimar.
Second game had 6 players: 2x Tieflings, 3x Aasimar, and a 1/2 Elf.
Most of these were beginners though (mostly XXX-2 PC numbers).
anyone else run Intro games lately? what's the racial mix?

"Molos go on Confirmation mission with fellow tiefling, aasimar, and two humans. Silly humans - can't even see underground without light source!"
"Molos and other tiefling only ones in group with powerful friends already in Society."
I believe the aasimar and two humans were being played by relatively new Society players, while the two tieflings were both more experienced PFS members.

Oh, what the heck. May as well join in.

-11: Okrin Beartusk, Angelkin Aasimar Battle Oracle of Gorum. Born 2014-07-17.
(Already had 2 Tieflings in PFS, my Oni-Spawn Tiefling Barbarian/Monk, and my Tiefling Cleric for a while now)
Fun fact: I had the opportunity to create a new 1st level Aasimar or Tiefling to play through Master of the Fallen Fortress, but just ran my Bard through it instead to give him 2 XP. Reason: already have 2 of each, which is good enough.
Extra Fun Fact: Made it through Master of the Fallen Fortress in 26 minutes.

We ran a day recently of Confirmation followed with First Steps. Nearly everyone was either Aasimar or Tiefling, but we kind of set the day up for that purpose anyways.
I played my Elf through each one. I already have an Aasimar and a Tiefling, and if I really want to play one again I'll track down a boon for it.

Honestly, it is threads like this that make me, a new PFS player, want reconsider my involvement in PFS.
It is a game.
If someone plays a new character as one of the planetouched really really close to the deadline, this imaginary little world will not be ruined.
No beasts, magical or mundane will be harmed.
/signed, an Aasimar of class to be named later... or maybe a Tiefling.
Oath, I get your point, but a couple things:
1. Taking the forums as an example of baseline behavior for anything to do with Pathfinder is like using juggalos as a baseline for what all music fans must be like
2. For PFS, unless you are frequently traveling for business or are some sort of railcar hobo, it really only matters what the PFS vibe is like in your general area, rather than most of the nonsense you see on here

My Aasimar bard GM got credit for something a long time ago, but I'm arsed if I can remember what. Probably First Steps 1 back when 2 and 3 were still available.
My Aasimar life oracle is level 6.
My tiefling paladin is level 9.
And my tiefling rogue is level 2, with one of those being some recent GM credit.
What I'm most cheesed about with this change is I recently gave up an Oread boon for. Wayang/Kitsune/Nagaji boon. What a waste.

My -7 entered the world as an Aasimar Shaman through GM credit back on Feb. 16, 2014.
I'm waiting for the Advanced Class Guide to publish before making a more detailed commitment.
You need to actually play as an aasimar before the cutoff date to be grandfathered in. A gm or pregen credit is not enough. I would play a scenario as something and then rebuild if you are waiting for the ACG.

You're only half correct. Pregen credit is not allowed, but GM credit is.

I reclassed my human ranger into an angelkin oracle of battle. I kinda regret it since I'd prefer he went the route of a warpriest now and with 4 games played he can't change class. But he's going to make it. Playing as a snowflake who comes from a very boring background makes for some interesting roleplay. Farmer's son Angelkin never wanted trouble, eventually gets mystical oracle powers and sighs, thinking it's fate. Joins up with the society and is constantly amazed at everything happening, with what his previous life had little in the way of excitment.

You can use the retraining rules from Ultimate Campaign if you have that book.
And if you don't, I'd recommend looking into it. Retraining rules are helpful, as are the traits.

Ah, I must have missed that. I just remembered the clarification that it needs to be played as an aasimar/tiefling.

Half of my outsider collection already had credit before the announcement. The others are recent additions that are more looking towards the future when my current generation of characters reach retirement. Since this is basically my 3rd generation, they'll be collecting dust for awhile. I'll definitely have to have both chronicle sheets and blog post (or PFSOP v6.0) ready to show how these are legal characters.

I'm not so sure that this counts as "Extra Fun".
Well, perhaps a poor choice of words on my part. I did find it amusing.
To be fair, I was at a table where the GM had already ran that scenario 4 times that day, and everyone else seemed to have played through it extensively (although it was the first time I played it).
In any event, I'll probably play through it again with a different character and experience it the proper way. :)

True they are, but I don't own that book and I have no wish to buy it seeing as a friend does and brings it to our games. I made use of the rules to swap race and class after finishing my third game and before my fourth. It's better then retraining mostly because retraining costs a bundle of gold from what I've heard, and PFS is rather stingy on that regards.

Fromper is absolutely correct. I have never played PFS and am only here to argue rules minutia. Any evidence to the contrary is clearly a Decimvirate smokescreen.

So, with This post we have some guidelines for how Aasimar and Tiefling grandfathering works. Played characters need to be played as aasimar/tieflings, DM credit should be declared aasimars/tieflings.
So, for those of you who don't have a notary in your gaming group, this thread exists to provide a time stamped proof positive record of your native outsideryness.

Okay so GM credit does apply. What about if it's a scenario that is too high level? Like I'm running Vengeance at Sundered Crag on Thursday and I'm hoping to apply it to my tiefling magus who has not been played yet. Will he still be legally grandfathered?

If you reduce it to a level 1 chronicle worth 500g, 1 exp, ad 2 PP then yes. If not, then no.
JohnF Venture-Captain, California—San Francisco Bay Area South & West |
I believe that the option to apply a higher-level chronicle to a 1st-level character by reducing the gold to 500gp is only available for pregens; the section of the PFSGtOP dealing with applying GM chronicles does not include a comparable section.
So, unfortunately, I don't believe doc the grey will be able to apply that "Vengeance at Sundered Crag" GM chronicle to a 1st-level character.

Aye. Unfortunately it looks like I won't get a chance to play a fresh character myself before the deadline, though I do have a GM credit slot so I can get one grandbaby in.
I've actually never played an aasimar, so part of me wants to, but... the concepts they best support either don't appeal to me (not interested in a paladin, for example) or I'm already doing with another PC (caster cleric, for example). Hrm...

Brainstorming idea:
Pick an Empyreal Lord at random, and design a descendent/worshipper who embodies many of their traits. Or pick a really cool looking Celestial Obedience and go from there.
So a dancing Bard of Ashava. Or a Druid of Ylimancha. Or an Alchemist of Bharnarol. Or...

If you have access to Blood of Angels, Musetouched Aasimar make great Bards.
Ended up making my Dawnflower Dervish Bard as one, even though I was leaning towards Halfling originally. But I couldn't think of what I wanted to make, so went with Aasimar Bard after all.

Have you considered a shaman? They benefit from both Wis and Chr. And origin wise, there is a link to the divine/supernatural.

I feel similarly. My aasimar that I just built isn't really speaking to me. She is currently built as a cleric/fighter, sort of a pseudo paladin or warpriest. But I already have two other paladins. :/

I have the chance this coming Sunday to grandfather in 1 more aasimar or tiefling, but I just don't know if it's worth it. I already have a level 9 tiefling paladin, a level 6 aasimar life oracle, a level 2 tiefling rogue, and a 1 exp aasimar bard. I suppose a normal aasimar would make a really good caster/channeler cleric, and I do have a cleric character made up that I haven't played yet. Gah, I don't know. I think that would just feel too much like my aasimar life oracle. Now, if there was a Str/Wis alternate heritage, I would totally make my inquisitor an aasimar.

But it sounds like your judge made some modifications to the BBE... or decided to switch to a spell he liked on the spur of the moment, and failed to check to see that it was on the Druids spell list (which it isn't). It's too bad, as that last fight can be really hard as it is, without needing to "beef it up"...
If it was me, I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable playing for him again... but I wasn't really there and so shouldn't really comment...

I've been the only one grandfathering in native outsiders during the two level 1 games I've played since the announcement. There were two other outsiders at the table when I played The Confirmation, but the aasimar was actually already level 2, and I think the tiefling had at least 1 xp already, too. There were at least 2 other tables playing the same adventures at the same time both weeks, though, so I'm sure there were others intentionally grandfathering in new PCs while they could.
I was already planning to make a tiefling character and play The Confirmation that week, even before the announcement that they'd be banned post-GenCon. My new aasimar was a "might as well make one while I can" decision, since I already wanted to make a paladin, I've never played an aasimar before, and the race is very good for that class.
Next week, I'll probably GM First Steps 1 and put the GM credit on the same aasimar I played on Monday. One of each is plenty for me, especially since I'm already up to 16 PFS PCs.
And yes, our local group intentionally scheduled Fallen Fortress and First Steps for the last two weeks before GenCon just to give people the chance to grandfather in outsiders. The Confirmation was already on the schedule before the announced race changes.

I went ahead and rolled up a tiefling inquisitor of Szuriel. If I get the opportunity to play him in a game this Sunday, then that's great. If a melee inquisitor doesn't fit the party's needs, I'll play something else and convert the tiefling inquisitor of Szuriel to a dwarven inquisitor of Gorum. Both characters share the Tactics domain and all the same gear, it's just some slight differences in ability scores and skill points. I already have both characters made up in HeroLab, it will just be a matter of which one I delete.

Going to GM this Friday - use the chance to grandfather in a tiefling cross-blooded sorceror. Always been my plan to have him be a GM baby anyway. Gonna go melee sorceror into dragon disciple. With his bite attack/tail/scales, he actually thinks that he's a half dragon. (it's a character concept which requires a tiefling to work)
Needs to be a GM baby because the build will suck until at least level 3. Frankly - it won't ever be that amazing, but it should be fun. (play kinda like a magus since between his bite attack and occasional claws he can use touch spells the same way they can with a sword)
