Retraining Question


Pathfinder Society

Shadow Lodge 5/5

I have a character that is Currently Ninja 5 / Fighter 2

through playing the character I have come to realize how bad I am missing not having Trapfinding and Evasion and really all I am using Regularly from Ninja is Vanishing Trick

I know I could take a combination of classes that would allow me to gain these abilities (Monk 2 Ranger - Trapper 1 for example)

the other thought is Retraining and I'm not really sure if I can pull this off

When you retrain a class level, you lose all the benefits
of the highest level you have in that class. You immediately
select a different class, add a level in that class, and gain
all the beneft its of that new class level.

now what I am thinking of is Retraining from Ninja to Rogue ... but the wording says "the highest level you have in that class" and the word "Immediatly" and since I cant have both Ninja and Rogue this presents a Problem in the RAW

then there is the Class Synergy ... and the fact that there is no mention of Alternate classes on the list (on either side) and it would stand to reason that a Ninja would Synergyze with a rogue .. and a samurai with a cavalier

so my question boils down to how do I do this

A) Pay the class Synergy cost (5 days) and retrain the batch (25 days)

B) Pay the 7 days and retain the batch (35 days)

C) would involve spending 25 PA into another class ... and then another 25 into a rogue - which works by the rules but I will never have the PA to do it based on the scaling cost (it also seems excessive to do it that way since it almost seems like a double penalty)

D) would follow the Archtype Retraining : which again seems Excessive because that's the exact reason why alternate classes were made (not quite a class but more than an archtype)

Looking more into it it seems plausable that the "Dropping an Archtype" Might work .. since Rogue tricks and ninja tricks are 100% interchangeable

so all Id be dropping is - poison use and no trace and Ki Pool
