Retraining Class Level PFS Rule Question

Hey guys,

Quick question, I have a level 8 character that I would like to retrain 1 level on. The character took a level of brawler as a dip at level 3 and I would now like to retrain that to ranger. Am I correct in thinking that I only need to retrain that 1 level of brawler or do I need to retrain all of my previous class levels 4-8 as well? Essentially am I looking at a bill for 5 levels or for 1 level?

If you're only retraining one level, you only pay for one level. Or am I misunderstanding your question?

I am only retraining one level. I been under the impression from speaking with a VO that you were only allowed to retrain the most recent class level that you had gained. As a result in order to retrain a class level that I took at level 3 even though I am level 8, I would in effect have to retrain level 4-8 first. So I just wanted to clarify that was the case or not.

Your VO may have meant that when you have more than one level in a single class and you're retraining one of those levels, the one you lose is the most recent. That is, you couldn't build an 8th-level cleric, then retrain out levels 1-7 and keep your 8th-level domain powers and spellcasting. If you retrain out of 7 of your 8 cleric levels, your remaining cleric level would be Cleric1 rather than Cleric8. That's probably what your VO meant.

For your case, where the level you're retraining is your only level in that class, you're just retraining one level.
