Celestial Servant + Racial heritage + Treesinger Druid Possible?


Pathfinder Society


Ok so, pretty new to PFS. Played regular pathfinder before. Love the game. I have a nasty habit of making odd combos for flavor/theme/rp reasons. I understand that the rules in PFS are slightly different to keep things in check. So I figured I would ask if the combo I wanted to use was possible.

Aasimar has a racial trait replacement that lets them count as a human for feat acquisition etc. Human has the Racial heritage feat so it can count as another race for feat acquisition, archetype use, spells that effect them, etc. The first part of the question would be if it is possible to take that combo and take elf for racial heritage, thus allowing me to count as an Aasimar, human, and elf(allowing me to take Treesinger druid[elf archetype])

If the first part is allowed, my second question would be if the Aasimar celestial servant feat would work on the plant companion that Treesinger druids get. I am only wondering as the one line in the plant companion class feature says this:

"Except for the companion being a creature of the plant type, drawn from the list below, this ability otherwise works like the standard druid's animal companion ability."

Basically I am trying to make a celestial plant themed druid. its terribly convoluted, but if this combo would work, it would be an interesting pet to have. Any help would be much appreciated.

Actually, I posted almost that exact question recently regarding a "Poison Ivy" character I was building. Unfortunately, it won't work in PFS. Here's the thread I was referred to....

Racial Archetypes

Sad thing is the various FAQs contradict each other, but this is how things stand currently. For a home game, I'd have no problem with it, but as PFS stands, Treesinger's only available to Elves. Period. :-(

One question after reading that thread. Will celestial servant work on the plant companion assuming the archetype were available?

Quick answer: yes, as far as I know.

Keep in mind that only Aasimar's can take Celestial Servant. Only Elves can be Treesingers. Only Humans can take Racial Heritage.

I'd suggest either making an Idyllkin Aasimar to keep some of the nature flavor or dipping Wizard (or Sylvan Sorcerer) to get a Celestial familiar with Improved Familiar at Level 7.

Wait does that mean an Aaismar could have a celestrial imp?

Dylos, if it did ...

Quote:

Celestial Servant (Aasimar)

Rather than being a normal animal or beast, your companion or familiar hails from the heavenly realms.

Prerequisites: Aasimar, animal companion, familiar, or mount class feature.

Benefit: Your animal companion, familiar, or mount gains the celestial template and becomes a magical beast, though you may still treat it as an animal when using Handle Animal, wild empathy, or any other spells or class abilities that specifically affect animals.

Then by the rules, not only would it be a celestial imp, it would also be a magical beast, instead of an outsider.

That makes no sense. So, I'd say no.
