Pathfinder Society Prestige Class Question

[Triston]

In the organized play book it says "Role-playing requirements for prestige classes in Pathfinder Society are waived." Does this mean the class has no requirements, you could have a second level duelist?!

You missed a word there.

What he means is that line refers to "Roleplaying" requirements only. Examples of this are things like the Pathfinder Chronicler needing to sell something they've written, or a Hellknight needing to slay a devil with more hit dice than themselves in ritual single combat under the observation of another Hellknight. Things like feats, skill-ranks, caster levels, and basically anything quantifiable still needs to be fulfilled.

I think he means 'Role-playing'. Most requirements (e.g. BAB +5, 2 ranks in knowledge (planes), dodge feat) still apply. The only ones that don't are things like 'a character must obtain sponsorship from an existing member of the organisation', etc.

EDIT: Ninjaed.

That is correct. A duelist has no role-playing requirements to waive. You still need the +6 BAB, Skills and Feats.

An example would be the "defeat a devil" requirement for the Hellknight.
