Non-Core Races


Pathfinder Society

Liberty's Edge

Reading the Pathfinder Society guide under Races and Classes, it says all the options in the Core Rulebook are allowed, but doesn't specify anything not allowed. In the next couple of sentences it even starts talking about alterations to the Alchemist without specifically saying classes from the APG are allowed.

Looking at the resources page, nothing specifically says the races listed in the Bestiary with Character blocks (Aasimar, Tiefling, Tengu, etc.) are disallowed and those races are also listed in the new Inner Sea World Guide as being suitable for player characters. Is there some ruling I have glossed over that disallows their use in PFS or are they legal?


To avoid a can of worms, no monstrous races are allowed in PFS. I learned this by bickering with the Paizo staff about it. :P

Further, the format if you look at it explicitely states what is allowed, not what isn't. Thus it doesn't say it is, so it isn't allowed.

Looking at the resources entry for the Inner Sea World Guide under races it says everything is allowed except the Azlanti human subrace hence my question.

That should be clarified to read "All core races and Human ethnicities except Azlanti are allowed. No Other Humanoid Races or Native Outsiders are permitted in Pathfinder Society Play."

You have to take the Monkey Grip feat though.

Shouldn't that be a racial bonus feat?

I'm new and wondering how to find all this information.

I'm hopeing to run some senerios for my local group so my GM can play.

Are pemplates in PFS allowed?

SpyderSixx, the best place to start is with the Guide to Organized Play. However, be aware that it is in the process of being revised.

One of these revisions is that a list of what is and isn't allowed from various sources is now online here.

Good luck, and have fun!
