Pathfinder class traits for non-Core classes

[Ellias Aubec]

In one of ye olde faction player/campaign companions there are a bunch of traits for the various Core classes (such as extra rage for barbarians, extra sneak attack damage for rogues etc). However as far as I can tell there haven't been updates for the later Base classes. With the upcoming ACG classes and the new Guide for Season 6, I was wondering if there would be the possibility of either adding such traits to the Guide or in a later publication of some sort.

You are talking about the old Faction Guide with traits such as Defender of the Society and such.

This isn't an old version of the PFS Guide to Organized play, but an actual, purchasable product.

I fully realise that. I was just curious as to the chance of getting something similar for the other classes at any point.

The traits are reprinted in the Shattered Star player's guide, without the requirement to be a specific class, however the Shattered Stay player's guide is not an additional resource for PFS (possibly because it's free).

There are other AP Player's Guides that are in the Additional Resources list, and they're all free, so I'm betting that's not the reason.

There are a total of three AP Player's guides on the Additional Resources, and they are not all free. Rise of the Runelords and Curse of the Crimson Throne player's guides are both free, Legacy of Fire is not. It's also worth noting that the only PFS legal AP player's guides are the 3.5 player's guides.

Related question: do trait bonuses stack? For example, could you have the Bad Reputation faction trait (Sczarni) and the Bully trait?

The only bonus types that stack with themselves are dodge and (most) circumstance bonuses.

Trait bonuses do not stack with each other.

Note to clarify the responses:

If the bonus is a +X Trait Bonus, it will not stack with another +X Trait Bonus to the same target.

If the trait gives an untyped bonus, and a few do, they will stack.

Without looking up the two traits involved, as I am at work, I cannot say with authority that they are both Trait bonuses, but the odds favor it, since most are.

Both are trait bonuses, and do not stack.
