Something I noticed

[snickersimba]

Since we now have some new classes, are we going to see some errata for the advanced race guide? Some races might have better thematic fits for a few classes, others might work better like shaman for orcs.

[John Compton]

I don't quite understand your question, which makes it sound as though at present there are limitations on which race can play which class (not the case).

[Acedio]

Are you asking about favored class bonuses?

can you make orcs legal now that shaman is a class?

translation of incoming answer: no

[David Haller]

I think what the OP is asking is "now that we have some new classes, will we get access to some new races? Ideally, those well-suited to certain of the new classes; orcs, for example, seem thematically suited to the shaman class."

(And when IS the Pathfinder Society going to charter a lodge in the Hold of Belkzen? High time, if you ask me!) :P

Not an official answer: don't hold your breath for access to orcs!

[snickersimba]

sorry about the unclearness of my question! I had my three year old cousin pestering me for movies. Acedio was correct, some favored class bonuses seem to need to be replaced thematicly, some new archetypes added possibly and maybe some new exclusive spells?

[Andrew Christian]

Mike more or less has said many times, that they have no intention of ever opening up evil or monster races (which he included Orc and Hobgoblin) to play.

Now he's also said, never say never.

But I wouldn't stand around naked on a street corner through winter hoping I didn't freeze first.

[Lamontius]

oh wait
I thought OP had a familiar handle
peace out

[Disk Elemental]

If I recall correctly, there's a player companion which expands upon the ACG material coming in October. If there are any racial archetypes, feats, spells, or uncommon race favored class bonuses forthcoming, I'd expect to see them in there.

That'd be pretty cool! But it seems like that would be in the domain of general pathfinder rather than PFS.

[snickersimba]

Read my post, I think my brain got a bit fuzzled and I posted it without finishing..... Accidents happen when you have small children bothering you! The only race I want to see brought into PFS is the strix.

[snickersimba]

Thanks disc! I actually could update the post now that I have put my cousin outside and locked the door, but I think we all get the idea

[Tim Statler]

They are very Strix about what races they make legal. But it never hurts to wing it and ask.

[John Compton]

If you're asking about other races getting favored class bonuses tied to the newest 10 classes, I don't believe that's a call for errata; the favored class bonuses listed in the Advanced Race Guide are not invalidated by the existence of new class, but you're right that some of those classes could be great fits for non-Core races.

What this means is that new favored class bonuses are great material to include in a future book—not erase entirely reasonable information from an existing book.

thanks john, I was planning on getting the advanced race guide, eventually. I just haven't got the money for it, while as thrilling and interesting of a job bank robbing is, I do not want to be a crimnal, because then I can't play in the society.

Yeah, bank robbing is not a good choice. No benefits, terrible job security, very limited opportunities to learn from your mistakes… Fortunately there are countless other professions that would benefit from your creative talents.

I am now curious whether we have a prison system Venture Captain in the planning. Probably not, though.

Get out. :P

[Hayato Ken]

Now that i read this i ask myself if the hybrid classes can actually take their parents classes fcb´s. Don´t remember reading something about that.

There could very well be an Orc Shaman out there. This is at least one orc character in PFS now... Somewhere out there...

Given how much money that one went for, it's almost certainly a Scarred Witch Doctor unless its a good-aligned orc character won by Mikaze.

[Kadasbrass Loreweaver]

True enough.

Didn't the boon not even let you play an orc but just gain access to orc options on a half-orc?

Correct.

[snickersimba]

Hmm, wonder what happens when a human and a dwarf get together..... or a gnome/halfing, or a human/halfling
or a human catfolk.... SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS! Im interested less in playing a character most of the time and doing more research on the world, but my APG isn't in yet. Nor is my animal archive... Dangit, Is the diabloist prestige class allowed in PFS?? If it is, thats the only way I will ever play wizard

[WalterGM]

I spoke with the boon winner at GenCon. At the time, I believe he was going to make a half-orc that was trying to rekindle worship of Grummish in the Inner Sea, something along the lines of this old WOTC prestige class.

[Jade Suryani]

Diabolist is legal!

Quote:

Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Princes of Darkness

Prestige Class: Diabolist; to qualify for the diabolist prestige class, lesser planar ally or lesser planar binding (or a similar spell) using one of your own prepared spells or a daily spell slot, and the spell must be on your class spell list

[snickersimba]

Awesome, now I just need to convince my highly religous grandma and grampa to buy that for me, along with the book of the damned and the bestairy

What you need to do is explain to them this is a game set in a fantasy world, not some representation of your actual beliefs. ;)

Or just "Hey can i have a non amex gift card to get stuff online" not "no, really, the unicorn having the soul sucked out of it is fine."

[snickersimba]

Erm, thats the issue, they are kinda unpredictable, slightly moreso with religous stuff, so I don't know...... If they read inner sea gods or god forbid, rise of the runelords I would be out of pathfinder for good

Dude, when I was 9, my next door neighbor and I wanted to collect X-Men action figures. Guess who got stuck with getting Nightcrawler. My uber-religious father was my obstacle. I went to him with something like "can I get this super-hero action figure for X-Men? Now, I know he looks like a demon but he's really a good guy." My dad responded "You mean Nightcrawler? Yeah, sure!" ...And that is the story of how I inherited all of my father's comic books.

Seriously, though. Narnia and LOTR were written by serious Christian theologians. You just gotta present it correctly.

But the Visa gift card is a way better idea.

[snickersimba]

yeah, Like I said, my grandfather will be cool with it, but my gramma won't be so understanding.
