Retraining all levels of Ranger to Druid: A bunch of questions


Rules Questions


I have a PFS Ranger that I'm bored to death of and it's sitting mothballed. I have come up with a concept I could conceivably use now, and I'm looking at retraining it. This comes with a few questions.

General background: Two levels of Ranger, just hitting 3rd, but haven't played the third level yet.

Am I Third level for the purposes of retraining or can I retrain before applying the XP from a new sheet? I assume 3rd and as such will pay the three levels of gold per level.

God and Domain: I am becoming an animal shaman with the Ferocity Subdomain of Strength, do I need to worship a God with that subdomain? If yes, my current iteration of the character worships Pharasma... can I change that? I'd prefer to run the Green Faith if anything.
(I never quite understood how druids and domains work exactly.)

Traits: I have a Pharasma religion trait. I am completely OK with it sitting around being useless, but is there anything I can do about that? If not, so be it.

Thankfully I'm NG so I don't have to change my alignment... not sure how that would work.

Useless Feats: Could I take Spell Focus (Conjuration) as a 3rd level feat and retrain one of my first level feats to Augment Summoning later on or is that a faux pas? I can't find prohibition by RAW.
I also have Power Attack as my first level feat, but would not have a +1 BAB were I a druid at that level. Does that matter? It doesn't seem to.

Human Feat?: Oh no! I just thought of this. Is my Human feat a Race Trait or is it still a feat? Do I retrain it as a feat or a racial ability?

No Favored Class Bonus: It seems I cannot retrain my favoured class. Fine by me, although I'd like to if I could.

Skills: Reading the retraining rules, it appears that I get to retrain all of my skills ranks from Ranger. Is this correct?

Thank you for your patience.


First, you may not have enough prestige to retrain both levels all at once.

Second, druids do not have to worship a deity with the domain they select via Nature Bond. I don't have an answer for trying to get a subdomain.

Third, Traits are fixed, no luck there.

Alignment/Deity: you may need an atonement to change deities. That's how you would do alignment.

Feats you're fine for. Probably not enough prestige to do it now. The rest I don't know.
