Unchained Rogue's Edge - Profession in PFS?

[Johnny Coleman]

If an Unchained Rogue chooses Profession as their skill for Rogue's Edge, the description says:

Pathfinder Unchained Page 86 wrote:

5 Ranks: When using Profession checks to earn income, you

earn gold pieces equal to the result of your check each week.

Meanwhile, the normal Profession skill says:

Check: You can earn half your Profession check result in gold pieces per week of dedicated work.

It seems to me that the 5-rank skill unlock for Profession exactly doubles your gold gained from Profession checks.

Does this double your day job gold in PFS, like the Street Performer's Gladhanding ability, or does it not work?

I'd think it doubles your day job gold in the sense you are earning twice as much as you would normally would with a day job roll.

The Day Job check works almost solely off the result of the die roll, with no other modifications. The one exception I can think of is the gladhanding ability of the street performer bard archetype, which has been specifically called out in the FAQ. I think that there's a case that could be made for the Profession skill unlock to do the same, but until there further clarification on the matter, it has no special impact on one's Day Job result.

Thanks for the clarification, John.

Please consider allowing this to work for the Profession skill unlock the way gladhanding does. As far as I'm aware, gladhanding has not been disruptive to the game.

Well It's been a while so I am going to go ahead and bump this :)
