Pathfinder Society and Archetypes

[Armont Duvall]

Hello, I am looking into some input, I have played Pathfinder for a while now and have recently gotten active into Pathfinder Society. I am aware of some differences, but I was working on a Ranger build in a past game. When the game stopped I never got a chance to play this character - so now I am looking into playing / building him in PFS.

So I am curious, and am looking for some input from some more knowledgeable players, the ranger build I was starting had three archetypes, does PFS have a maximum that can be applied to a character? The three archetypes I selected do not clash with each other as they each effect different capabilities of the Ranger class.

Welcome to PFS! :)

PFS follows the normal rules for archetypes - there are no extra or modified limits/guidelines. Thus, any number of legal archetypes which do not alter or replace the same class feature(s) may be applied to a character, as per the normal archetype rules.

Almost - the only difference is that by the standard rules, you must select your archetype(s) when you take the first level of the associated class. Under PFS rules, you can choose to take an archetype if all of the changes to the class are above the PC's current level in that class.

Ah, forgot about that - good catch!

Great, thank you fellow Pathfinders! I definately appreciate the help, I'm certainly going to start this ranger at the next PFS Event.

Y'all take it easy!
