what bloodlines are allowed for society play?
i was wanting to play something like a 1/2 orc with the crossblooded orc/marid blood lines but im having a hard time finding out if i can do this

Pretty much every bloodline is open for play

[SCPRedMage]

All bloodlines from the Core Rulebook are legal for play.

Beyond that, please make sure to check the Additional Resources page to find out what is legal from any other books you might have. Keep in mind that in order to access any other books, you do have to own a physical or PDF copy (watermarked with your name), which is why the Additional Resources page is organized by book.

In this case, we need to look at three things: the Crossblooded archetype, the marid bloodline, and the orc bloodline. We'll start with the first two, as they're both in Ultimate Magic.

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Ultimate Magic

Anyone playing the magus playtest version must have updated his or her character as of 5/19/11. The following are NOT legal for play:

So that last bolded part means anything not listed is legal.

Addtional Resources wrote:

Archetypes: broodmaster summoner, clone master alchemist, gravewalker witch, pack lord druid, master summoner, reincarnated druid, synthesist summoner, undead lord cleric, vivisectionist alchemist

Since crossblooded isn't listed, that means it's legal.

As to the marid bloodline, there is no listing for bloodlines, therefore ALL bloodlines from Ultimate Magic are legal.

As for the orc bloodline, that's from Orcs of Golarion.

Pathfinder Player Companion: Orcs of Golarion

...
Other: orc sorcerer bloodline on page 14

Since the entry for Orcs of Golarion doesn't say it's listing what's NOT legal, that means it defaults to listing what IS legal; since it lists the orc bloodline, that means it is legal for play.

So, the short of it is that you can certainly play a crossblooded orc/marid sorcerer, provided you own Ultimate Magic and Orcs of Golarion.

If you want to find out if an option is legal:

1. Identify what book it's from.

2. Go to the Additional Resources Page, which you can find on the panel to the right when you click on the Pathfinder Society logo on the left.

3. Find the book your option is from (Ctrl+F is good for this).

4. See what it says is legal from that source.

I assume that books that people get early (whether by being a subscriber or pre-ordering the book in question) are off-limits until their material is properly sanctioned? I ask since I got People of the River, and found a sorcerer bloodline that is utterly fantastic, at least in terms of flavor.

Yes, you must wait until it is added to the Additional Resources list.

Until a book is listed on the Additional Resources, nothing from it is legal. Note that we are a month behind as Blood of the Elements isn't even listed yet.

Ouch. I'm willing to wait, though. My chief concern for this bloodline right now is that it would be banned for flavor reasons (Nanite bloodline) rather than mechanical reasons. I can understand the reasoning (nanomachines? in my fantasy?) even if I'd be greatly disappointed.

Reading "nanite bloodline" makes me think of Midi-chlorians.

Just for mentioning the answer to a question no one was asking, I hate you forever.
