Am I legal?


Pathfinder Society

Liberty's Edge

Hey, I just rolled up this new character to try to get into a PFS game soon. I'm not real up to date on what's allowed in additional sources these days, so I figured I'd do a little crowd sourcing. Can anyone please look at my character, and make sure that everything is legal for PFS play with the current rules? The stat block is in my profile. Thanks!

Welcome to PFS!

The absolute best way to check if your character is good to go (and learn how to check these things in the future) is to download and read the free Guide to Organized Play. That document/booklet contains everything you need to create a character using the Core rules.

As for all the other books, the Additional Resources page is where you'll want to go, and compare stuff you have on your sheet versus what's legal or not from each source.

A non-official shortcut to these, but one I love using myself, is to visit the Archives of Nethys, a site maintained by a PFS member who marks items that are PFS-legal with the Glyph of the Open Road (the in-game symbol of the Pathfinder Society). Note, however, that these marks don't take into account whether you need a special boon or not - it just marks if it's possible to be used in PFS play.

I hope these links get you started. Welcome aboard again!

(Edit: I'd offer to give it a look-see, but I should have been in bed nearly two hours ago and my neurons aren't firing on all cylinders at this point)

Do you own the Advanced Class Guide, Inner Sea World Guide and Inner Sea Gods? You may also want to think about what combat feats you want to use with Martial Flexibility and have the sources for them ready.

So assuming I get/have those books, it's legal?

Traits check. Class check. archtype check. Feats check.. gah! whats combat expertise AHHH. got it. Pay your feat tax in advance use martial flexibility to snag real feats.

Keep in mind your poor dogs carrying capacity. I may need to realign his spine when you're done...

One thing people sometimes confuse is the PFS [mount class feature] and pfs [mount thing that you ride on] rules. The PFS rules about [mount class feature] currently keep you from getting a mount your size even with the undersized mount feet, while the [mount thing that you ride on] rules do not. (Your character works, I'm just giving you an argument you might see against it now so you're not blindsided at the table)

Thanks! I think I should be fine, since it's an animal companion and not from the mount class feature. I appreciate the rapid responses guys, think I've got my answer now. ^_^

You're only likely to be asked for the ACG, since you only have an ethnicity from ISWG and a trait from ISG (but make sure you know who your deity is - I'd consider that a red flag). Also, Ultimate Campaign for Seeker.

I'd suggest swapping your Wis with your con; an extra hit point a level will be helpful, as brawlers have AC trouble at higher levels. Alternatively, you could drop to a 7 int and have a 12 con and 12 wis.

Oh, I'll be going hunter from level 2 onward. Thanks for the advice though.
