Question about Season 5's allowed races and character retraining

[Tabletop Prophet]

So, due to some medical emergencies and potentially life-threatening conditions, I was unable to play for basically all of last year. towards the beginning I had made a tiefling character. They are at 2/3 xp. If I were to retrain this character, would they have to be retrained according to current season retraining rules, or would I be allowed to retrain them using the available races from the season they were created under? It's a little vague in the places I've read about this.

Primarily, I'd like to retrain them to Aasimar since in the midst of the medical problems I also lost a lot of my Pathfinder books so I couldn't actually play the tiefling bloodline I had chosen due to not owning Blood of Fiends anymore; I still possess Blood of Angels though.

Thanks for the answers in advance, I'm hoping to get back into the thick of things.

You played as a tiefling, not an assaimar. You can rebuild to another class as a tiefling but to have a legal character it must have been played as the grandfathered race prior to the cutoff date.

I believe, if it was Tiefling you could retrain and stay Tiefling (I could be wrong on this point), however if you choose a different race it would have to be from one of the currently legal races (I'm pretty sure about this one).

I hope that at least helps.

Only currebtly allowed options are available to be retrained into. Since assimar is not a current legal option, it is not available.

Thanks, Mike. I figured that was the answer I was looking at, and that I'd have to nab the pdf (since the print version is inconceivably hard to find at a reasonable price) but it's good to get some confirmation.

Is MSRP not reasonable? My FLGS always has copies of Blood of Fiends in. Amazon Prime right now is selling it for under $9 (under MSRP). I'm just wondering what you mean by "reasonable".

as an aside, when I searched amazon for 'blood of fiends' it asked "did you mean 'blood of friends'?" Ew. No.
