Silver Crusade

Am going to be running a pf game and have a player who wants to play an oracle/shaman. He plans to only take 1 level of oracle and in his back ground story was lost after a ship wreck and then became a shaman while starnded on a reclusive island before being rescued. The story is quite cute but the pf rules i think do not allow shaman and oracle mix . As a Gm would you let this go or not ?


There is no problem with a Shaman and Oracle mix.

Though the flavor is somewhat redundant (intentionally on the devs' part), there's no mechanical limitation imposed on multiclass. They removed the clause that prevented it between the second Playtest and release of the ACG.

ok cool then that makes his whole thought work and within the rules .. He plans to be a possessed shaman archtype from all the lost lives of the ship wrecks. He plans to take haunted curse from oracle and be an elightened philospher archtype. He plans to be a healer/buffer with great skills in knowledges etc as well as a smidgen of arcane spells utilizing the shaman spirits arcane enlightenment. Overall will be a fun char to see played

The Exchange

He will have to choose the same mystery/spirit/curse or whatever (I'm not to familiar with the shaman) but that should be no problem. As mentioned at the beginning of the ACG hybrids have to take the same options as their parent class if they multiclass together.

yeah i think he plans to take life as an oracle then wondering spirit . then he can tgake added wanderign spirits and take lore or something he said as a shaman . he said however being a possessed shaman he can select any hex .. I looked at it in herolab and it seemed to work that way though i know herolab isnt a safe way to test rules .

Silver Crusade

He also said his char is going to be based soley off of chr and wisdom.. He said that he could use his spirit familiar to deliver touch heal spells as needed when his channel isnt sufficient , I thought it was cute to have that uniqueness of a spirit familiar healing your party with touch spells lolol ..
