I am brand new to the table top rpg scene, and wanted to join some online sessions since there is nothing in my area. I was told by a few people that the official rules only allow the 7 core races along with tiefling, aasimar, and another that I am forgetting. But the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play states the following:
Step 2: Race and Class
Select your character’s class and race from the choices
offered in the Core Rulebook. You may also select aasimar,
tengu, or tiefling as your character’s race with access to
the proper Additional Resources book. Other races are not
legal unless the character’s Chronicle stack includes a race
boon. Additional class and race options from resources like
the Pathfinder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide, Pathfinder RPG
Ultimate Magic, Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Combat, Pathfinder
RPG Advanced Race Guide, and Pathfinder Campaign Setting:
The Inner Sea World Guide are generally available with few
or no alterations, as well.
Naturally I am confused, because GM's are telling me one thing is the official rules but the guide is saying another.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question, and further apologies if this is a totally asinine query. lol
