Traits of the Society


Pathfinder Society


Are the "of the Society" traits legal for PFS play and if so what books have they been printed in? I've been trying to find them but I can't really afford to be buying all the $5-$10 books and guides just to find a few traits.

From the Additional Resources page, which is where you should always look to see if something is PFS-legal:

Quote:

Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Faction Guide

Feat: Fast Crawl; Spells: hibernate, tripvine; Traits: Beast of the Society, Berserker of the Society, Blade of the Society, Defender of the Society, Exalted of the Society, Greater Adept of the Society, Havoc of the Society, Honored Fist of the Society, Maestro of the Society, Stalwart of the Society, Tracker of the Society

So yes, they're legal, and that's the book that contains them all.

Archives of Nethys, I've found, is incredibly useful in searching for these types of things.

Just type "society" in the search field, check the box that says "traits", and you'll find them all.

They also label each option with a Glyph of the Open Road to symbolize whether it's PFS legal or not (though you should still cross reference the Additional Resources document just to be sure).

Note: On those traits, you want to make sure you are using the version from the Faction Guide, as the versions printed in the Shattered Star Player's Guide are slightly different, and not PFS legal.

Which reminds me, I need to apologize to the HeroLab folks, and ask them if there is any way to setup an option to let the user decide which version of those traits they want to use.

Under "Configure Hero", one of the options at the top is "Pathfinder Society Organized Play Character".

Turning that on adjusts the content to use the legal resources and special rules for PFS (like wizards getting Spell Focus instead of Scribe Scroll, etc.).

And if you see anything wrong, turn in a bug to Lone Wolf Development.

Nah, the problem is that HL updated the traits to the Shattered Star versions, which eliminates the class restrictions that are there in the Faction Guide versions. Everything else is the same.

Mea culpa, since I was the one who pointed out the difference, before I knew they weren't updated for PFS. Sigh.
