half blood extraction question


Rules Questions


So, if I use the half blood extraction and become a full orc do I lose archtypes/favored class stuff. Does it block the ability to continue in archtypes etc?

If the Archetype/Favored Class requires you to have blood of a certain type and you remove it, it should most likely say that you cannot progress in that archetype/favored class or not within the description.

It all depends on the Archetype/Favored Class you are looking for, or are playing.

From an arbitrary perspective, I would most likely say that you wouldn't be able to progress/choose specific archetypes that require you to have the type of blood you just removed, because that is a specifically set requirement that cannot be bypassed unless it says so.


Well for instance if I take the redeemer paladin half orc archetype, do I lose all of those abilities?

As far as I can tell, it only requires you to be a Half-Orc upon selecting the Archetype. Since it does not say anything about the character maintaining the Half-Orc status, the character would still be able to utilize the class abilities after the blood extraction.


Cool, that makes sense.

Also keep in mind that most of the ARG archetypes are called out as typically being of their particular race.

Personally, as a GM I'd have absolutely no problem with full orc, tiefling, or even human Redeemer paladins, as the only real requirements are matters of character rather than race.

Weird thought: Human with the Racial Heritage(Half Orc) has the Half Blood Extraction cast upon him.
What happens?

A very unhealthy orc. As there wouldn't be as much orc in there as the spell was expecting......

Wait that just gives too awesome a mental image to be the right answer.
