Guessing if I can replace weapon finesse


Pathfinder Society

Liberty's Edge 1/5 5/5 *****

So, I created a character (Society conformed) 2-3 years ago and I'm taking it back for use (Ninja) . Since then Pathfinder Unchained introduced the "new" rogue and his way better Finesse Training. I took with my ninja character weapon finesse as a trait at the time of his lvl 1.
My question is: Is it possible to replace my old weapon finesse feat considering that i'm getting it again for free?

2/5

Unchained Rogues may freely rebuild into an Unchained Rogue.

Ninjas unfortunately cannot rebuild, nor take another of the unchained rogue options.

The Concordance 5/5 5/55/5 ***

Unfortunately, despite Ninjas originally being an Alternate Class of Rogue, they were expressly denied the ability to retrain into Unchained Rogue in PFS. There are no "Unchained Ninjas" in PFS, either. Currently, due to statements made by one of the Developers outside of PFS, it's no longer clear whether Ninjas can even take Rogue Archetypes at all.

If you're interested in playing an Unchained Rogue, you have two options:

1) Use the retraining options presented in Ultimate Campaign to retrain your 3 levels of Ninja into any other class (except for Rogue), start taking levels in Unchained Rogue, and then retrain those 3 other levels into Unchained Rogue. You won't be a "full Rogue" until level 6 or 7 this way, but it will be the same character. Retraining in this way could generate its own RP.

2) Simpy start a new Unchained Rogue character.


Gotta be hard, being a Ninja. You're not Rogue-ish enough to take archetypes or benefit from Unchained updates, but you're too Rogue-ish to multiclass with a Rogue. On top of that, you're doomed to a lack of options since you've been all but abandoned as a class.

Be nice if they'd just go back and change Ninjas into an archetype.

Shadow Lodge 4/5

Ninjas just received an archetype and have previously gotten new ninja tricks. Even samurais of all things still get support so the only class that's actually forgotten is the gunslinger whose latest hurrah was in the Tech Guide.

Scarab Sages 4/5

I've seen the ninja archetype mentioned a couple of places. What is it, and what book is it in?

4/5

This thread is about the fact that Ninja (and Samurai) are not Archetypes but "Alternate Classes" from Ultimate Combat.

Scarab Sages 4/5

I meant I've seen that the ninja had an archetype published for it, like Muser mentioned in the post before mine. I was asking what book that is in.
