Any way to retrain trait (Magical Knack)

[Xot]

I have a character, Elkin StoneWalker, who I've always intended to go into Eldritch Knight prestige class. He was played at second level before Magical Knack was made legal for PFS play, and I've been trying to find a way to retrain ever since.

Currently I have Focused Mind and Warrior of Old, a race trait and a Magical trait. I was excited today when I got a cool boon on a chronicle sheet that would allow me to replace a trait with a racial trait... I was going to retrain Focused mind, and then take the extra traits feat. But since Warrior of Old is a Race Trait... I can't have two race traits any more than I can have two magical traits, which is not at all.

As we eagerly anticipate the inclusion of retaining rules, probably mere hours from now, I find it important to note that my reading of the retraining rules from Ultimate Campaign didn't allow for the retraining of traits (by my reading).

Which brings me to my actual question. Given this situation, is there any PFS legal way to retrain my Focused Mind (magical trait) to the Magical Knack (magical trait)?

Not that I'm aware of.

Also, I feel your pain. My 10th level Eldritch Knight already has a Magic trait. Heck, he even took the Additional Traits feat to GET said Magic trait. Ah well, c'est la vie. Maybe someday I'll make another EK and get to reap the benefits of Magical Knack.

From what Mike Brock has been saying there's going to be some way to retrain in the upcoming 5.0 guide, though there's nothing saying that trait retraining will be in it. Just got to wait another few hours...

Jiggy, thanx for the support!
My next Elk is going to start with a level of Gunslinger, probably go with a human to start with PB shot & Precise shot.

Well, depending on how the retraining rules are laid out in the Guide 5.0, you could retrain that feat and take it again at some point to get Magical Knack since you acquired it through feat choice.

The fact that you can't retrain general traits chosen at level 1, though is a bit of a bummer. I know I wouldn't mind swapping one or two out on a few characters, but them's the breaks.
