Eclectic training, esoteric training allowed?


Pathfinder Society

The Exchange

Ok I am new to pathfinder society play and I play in a home game with my friends that i have played with for years. my question to the masses is:

Is eclectic training allowed in society play.
Is esoteric training allowed in society play.
Do you have to be part of a specific guild or faction to use them.

I have not purchased the book yet because this is really the only thing out of the book I want. If they are allowed ill purchase the book and start playing my character right away. If not I'll save myself the money to spend on something else.
If anyone has an answer for me could you please reference where you found the information. Thank you very much.


Those types of training are not sounding familiar to me. Which book are they in?

The closest thing to esoteric training I could find was from a 3rd party publisher. Did you mean Esoteric Schooling from Super Genius Games? If so, no 3rd party stuff is allowed in PFS.

And which book were you talking about?

Additional Resources can be found here

I also have no idea what those things are.


It looks like they are in Inner Sea Magic, but nothing from the schools chapter, which is where these are located, is legal for PFS play.

For determining whether or not a particular rules item is legal in PFS, the "Additional Resources" page is your friend:

i checked additional sources and yes they are from inner sea magic but i dont own the book so i dont know page number so i couldnt find if they are one of the allowed items since most of it is listed as pages x-y are allowed.

Unless you have the resource *Book, PDF, Page printout* at hand, you could not use it anyway...

Though if you are interested in it because you would buy the book if it was allowed, that is different.

That said, as above stated, not Legal.

i mentioned in my first post i was interested in buying the book if it was legal. and so far the closest thing i have to an answer is enevhar who started his post with "it looks like" not to definitive does anyone actually have the book so they could tell me which page they are on??

Page 22, though I'd advise next time you ask about a book and info in it, it would be helpful to mention which book it is. :) It helps to narrow down searches quite a bit as there is so much out there now.

That being said, yeah, nothing about pg 22 or vanities from magic schools are legal according to the additional resources. Generally anything that costs prestige points that isn't specifically about the Society will probably not be legal.
