Scarred Witch Doctor in PFS


Rules Questions


I was reading in another thread where two people were speaking about the witch doctor in PFS. I am under the impression that this archetype is part of the banned section of ARG, but I wanted to verify.

From the other thread:
"I find it really weird how a Human with that racial heritage feat qualifies for Witch Doctor but a Half Orc doesn't =P. Well, that's PFS for you."

Is this really legal?

No. PFS only allows the Race specific stuff from the ARG to be taken by said race. This is a PFS only ruling that overrides RAW.

Orc is not a PFS allowed race.

In Chapter 2, nothing from the catfolk, drow, hobgoblins, kobolds, orcs, and ratfolk entries are currently legal for play.

Seems pretty clear that Scarred Witch Doctor is not available for play for anyone of any race.

._. dang it blackbloodtroll, that'll teach me to mess with formatting...

Couldn't figure out how to get a hyperlink in the "quoted from". Pretty sure now that you can't, but it slowed me down.


I didn't think so. In the original thread I even referenced the exact line Raisse quoted, but since I didn't actually have the book to verify where it appeared I just wanted to check.

Thank you both for the clarification.
