Vigilante, Retraining, Unchained Rogue, and Lethal Grace


Rules Questions

Dark Archive

So I've got a 3rd level Kitsune Unchained Rogue in PFS. Had some fun, but Vigilante was released and it fits the character better. My plan is to take my 4th level in Vigilante, then retrain my Rogue levels over time.

But then I found something strange when I was planning the new path. It all centers around the Lethat Grace talent.

Lethal Grace (Ex):
The vigilante combines strength and speed into incredibly deadly attacks. He gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat, and if he already has the Weapon Finesse feat, he can immediately swap it for another feat for which he qualified at the level he chose Weapon Finesse. When using Weapon Finesse to make a melee attack using his Dexterity bonus on attack rolls and his Strength bonus on damage rolls, he also adds half his vigilante level on damage rolls. This bonus damage is not reduced or increased if the vigilante is wielding a weapon two-handed or in an off-hand.

So first level Unchained Rogues get Weapon Finesse for free. At Vigilante 2/Unchained Rogue X, I will likely take Lethal Grace, along with taking a free feat thanks to replacing the Bonus Rogue feat. For simplicity's sake, let's say I take Great Fortitude. I will eventually replace my last Rogue level with Vigilanty, removing the bonus Weapon Finesse feat entirely.

So what happens to Great Fortitude? Does it go away? Do I get it as a freebie? I'm assuming the former, but I just wanted to double check as LG does not go into detail about what happens in this kind of situation.


It goes away. If I understand you right it is a replacement for the rogue-granted weapon finesse. when that goes the replacement goes with it.
