Core Unchained?

[TechGnosis]

I am guessing Unchained is not PFS Core legal, even if the Unchained class was originally a core class (Looking at you Mr. Rogue)?

It is not. John confirmed this in the Unchained announcement blog.

Lastly, are these changes Core legal?

The Core Campaign makes use of three texts: the Core Rulebook, the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play, and the traits web enhancement. Pathfinder Unchained is not part of that list, and it is not part of the Core Campaign.

I missed that post, but I was kinda figuring that. Thanks for the confirmation.

The whole point of Core is that... it's Core.

None of the Core classes that were given UnChained! versions were made PFS illegal. They can actually still be played as is.

Would it be fun however to have a new campaign - Unchained PFS - where only Unchained characters are allowed and Unchained optional rules used? :)

I invite you to take over the reporting of PFS events at a convention or game day and find out just how fun making sure the tables come out correctly is.

I can only imagine. I've only run one Core table and I had to flat out tell someone "Even though this is your first adventure, you registered your character as RPG. I'm not going to report your character because it will mess up the other characters. You've got your chronicle sheet. Don't lose it."

That can be fixed, they can delete the mis-entered PC on Paizo's site, and re-enter it correctly.

What is more fun, though, is when the GM runs a Core game, for Core PCs, but then misses the checkbox in reporting, turning all the PCs standard. Until Paizo fixed it.

My halfling rogue almost became an Unchained halfling rogue, there...

Unless they fixed it, deleting a character doesn't free that number. If I delete my -13, the next character I register will still be -14. Doesn't really fix the problem. :shrug:

I'm just glad when I get the chance to report with everyone still at the table. Makes clearing up things like this much easier.
