Are there some racial archetypes in the book?


I don't have the book yet, so can anyone update us if there are racial archetypes in there?


What are the odds that racial archetypes are added to the new book? I play only PFS and my thing is that I only use racial archetypes. Does anyone have an idea on it or should I save my breath?


So I am making a stonelord for the Rise of the Runelords PFS, and I was wondering what racial traits would be better for it? If I should take wyrmscourge or take Giant Hunter and other racial traits? Any help would be appreciated and any more advice for this build would be great!


Link here

Sorry Chengar it was just bugging me your link wasn't formatted correctly.


Is there supposed to be any new racial archetypes in this book? Or will I just have to wait to find out. Also super pump!


Have Ifrit Boon

Want Slyph Boon


So after playing some of the classes, I must say that prankster bard is a great debuffer for PFS. I would also recommend the foehammer for its power.


Want: Undine

Have: A crap ton of figures to trade and Worldwound Gambit book + boon to trade.

Boon:
Choose one of the following three boons for your character and cross the rest off the Chronicle sheet:
Demonic Scholar: You gain a permanent +1 bonus on Knowledge (planes) checks when making checks regarding demons.
Opportunistic Strike: Your experience fighting demons in the Worldwound and your patience carrying out a long con has granted you insight into when and where demons are the most vulnerable. At any time in the future, when fighting a creature of the demon subtype, you may recognize an opening for an opportunistic strike. As an immediate action, you may declare a single attack roll to be an opportunistic strike, allowing you to bypass the demon’s damage reduction of a value equal to your base attack bonus on a single attack. Once this attack has been made, the GM should cross off this boon.
The Long Con: Your experiences bringing down the Tower of Yath have honed your skills at deceiving those who worship Abyssal forces. You gain a permanent +1 bonus on Bluff checks made against demonic cultists in noncombat situations.

Sorry about the repost it wouldn't let me edit my last post.


Want: Any Race Boon

Have: A crap ton of figures to trade and world wound book + boon to trade.


So I can use Feral Combat Training on my claws and use them for ki strike?


I want to make a Shigenjo that uses unarmed attacks as his main form of attacking and to be able to qualify for ki strike. Can I take the alternate trait for claws and use them instead of the unarmed attack? Or are claws not considered unarmed attacks


For the Haunted Curse you get spells that vary on Oracle level. I was planning on using a ki point and increase my level for the spell but I don't know if that is allowed.


An example is that I am making a Shigengo Oracle and they can use a ki point to add 5 levels to their curse level. Can I theoretically get to level 25 by using that?


I was wondering if I could go over 20 when a spell asks for my oracle level and I have a skill that says I add 5 to my level when it asks for it.


How much do Undead enemies come up in PFS? I am making a Dhampir Kinslayer (don't worry I am trading for the boon) and I am worried that he will be too focused on undead to be useful. I mean, if undead show up every other adventure that wouldn't be too bad since that means I shine everyother module but I just want some advice from people who have played more than me.

And on a side note, any general advice for a Kinslayer in PFS?


Can anyone else access the guide? Whenever I try it says that I need permission.


Have: No boons, but many Pathfinder Battles WizKid Figurines for trade

Want: Race Boons, specifically Dhampir


Doe Paizo have a reputation of not bringing back past things at all?

cavalier

my 1th level cavalier had +22 diplomacy, +37 intimidate, +23 umd,

HOW!?!?!?


1. Can I gain boons by playing at tables that occur at cons or anyway by playing or is it restricted to GMing?

2. I read that I can get the Dhampir boon by GMing certain society games? Is that true? And if so how do I do it?

3. Can I get boons by attending local events that are happening at my location but are not cons? For example my local society is having a big get-together that will be having "special" games for pathfinders to participate in.

Thank you to anyone who helps me answer these questions.

I have actually deleted a PFS character, and now I completely lack character number #6.

I advice against deleting a character and instead rename him/her if you have a hint of OCD. :P

How did you do it? I don't have any other characters so it would be fine to delete.


I have played one of my characters online so he received an online chronicle sheet. However, I do not like him and I have OCD about the number the character is and what class he is (it's weird don't ask). How can I delete him? Because the option to delete does not appear next to his name anymore.


Thank you. I was just confused because of this guide and its section on versatile performance.

Bard Guide


So I have a quick question regarding Versatile performance. When I create a character, can I put two skill points into two Performs so I get the +3 class skill boost, and then when I get to level 2 can I add another perform and then use versatile performance for all three perform skills?

You can only apply one boon to one PC. Prince of Thieves has a cool boon.

So if I wanted to add a boon to a new character but I already used it on another one, I would have to buy the book again?

Under A Bleeding Sun, how does the Skulking Slayer do in PFS campaigns. Is it a skill monkey at all? Or mostly violent.


Hey guys. I was thinking of making my first real PFS character to be an Ancient Lore Keeper, due to the fact that I like skills and being a character that talks a ton. Does anyone know the best revelation for a Lore Keeper that focuses on the skill aspect of the racial archetype. My goal is to make the most optimal Lore Keeper. Can anyone help with spells? Right now I am thinking Time due to the rerolls and the general great revelations. Maybe wood to create an archer Mage? Please note this is a repost from the PFS page, because I was told this would be a better place.

You might have better luck in the Advice forum rather than the PFS General forum.

Ok. Thank you. I just didn't know because I was building the character for PFS only.

Out of the above classes, which one do you guys think would be the best for a face of the party and for skills. I am thinking Ancient Lore Keeper with Time due to rerolling knowledge checks and high charisma, but apparently bards are good as well.

Somewhat related question, if I play as a Halfling/Gnome how much differently will I be treated in PFS in a roleplay perspective.


So I decided to make a list of all Pathfinder Society Legal Racial Archetypes, so people know what I and other like minded individuals are looking for. Please be warned this is initial race legal classes for PFS.

Exarch - Inquisitor - Dwarf
Foehammer - Fighter - Dwarf
Forgemaster - Cleric - Dwarf
Stonelord - Paladin - Dwarf
Ancient Lorekeeper - Oracle - Elf
Spell Dancer - Magus - Elf
Spell Binder - Wizard - Elf

Prankster - Bard - Gnome
Saboteur - Alchemist - Gnome
Bonded Witch - Witch - Half Elf
Bramble Brewer - Alchemist - Half Elf
Wild Shadow - Ranger - Half Elf
Redeemer - Paladin - Half Orc
Skulking Slayer - Rogue - Half Orc
Community Guardian - Oracle - Halfling
Filcher - Rogue - Halfling
Underfoot Adept - Monk - Halfling
Order of the Paw - Cavalier - Halfling
Wanderer - Monk - Human
Imperious Bloodline - Sorcerer - Human
Purifier - Oracle - Aasimar
Tranquil Guardian - Paladin - Aasimar
Shigenjo - Oracle - Tengu
Swordmaster - Rogue - Tengu
Fiend Slayer - Magus - Tiefling

If you go ancient lore keeper oracle, take a look at the Time mystery.

Why should I choose time over other ones if you don't mind me asking. I think Elven Ancient Lore Keeper is the class I will choose, cause I like being a class that has a lot of skills and be the face of the party.

Be sure to check the Additional Resources page, which lists what is or is not legal for each book. Numerous races mentioned above are either not permitted in PFS or are only accessible if you have a boon that unlocks that race for play. Several of the core race archetypes are not allowed (e.g. blood god disciple).

Double check that page before settling on a character—just to be sure.

Personally, I love the dwarven forgemaster, but that's because I prefer support roles.

Yeah I have been noticing a lot of the suggestions have been for characters that can't be used and since I have only started playing a month ago I don't have any boons. I hope to be able to use their suggestions in the future however. And thank you for clearing up Blood God Disciple for me.


Can I even play as a Half-Orc Blood God Disciple? I read that the eating of enemies is evil therefore so are they and that means I can't use them for PFS. And I was thinking about doing an Elven Ancient Lorekeeper. Any thoughts?

Dwarven foehammer.

DWARF SMASH PUNY PLANET!

I have to agree -- I'm playing with a Dwarven Foehammer in a home game and he is all kinds of awesome.

I've also been seeing a lot of Dwarven Stonelord Paladins lately.

Yeah but would he be good enough for a PFS game? Or does it really matter what class I am. I have only played one PFS game and We Be Goblins so I am still new to this.


Also, in regards to what talbanus said, what I do is make a character and focus them around a combat element and optimize it, and then make a story that matches all of the decisions I made for the character. Right now, I am focusing on archetypes or race exclusives for pathfinder so any help in regards to what works in PFS and one that I can get to level 12 would be great. I also play almost any role, but I like being the leader and using skill checks.


How about a Teifling Magus with that archetype? It is the year of the demon after all.


I am creating some characters for PFS and I wanted to know people's opinions on their favorite/the best racial archetype that can be used in PFS. Personally, I think I will be doing a Bonded Witch that uses dexterity as well as intelligence to support and hurt. But if anyone knows a good racial archetype for a first time player, it would be much appreciated.


I am really new to this so I do not know if asking this question is allowed, but does anyone know of a play by post that I could start to learn how to play pathfinders. I have the beginners box and my core rule book is coming soon, but I actually haven't played a real game with other players yet. It is mostly due to the fact that no one I know in real life will play the game. Can anyone help me?


I am new player that has never played before but I have all the required materials and would love to join you. I have a Dwarf Cleric to play with but that maybe change.
