Advanced Race Guide character features


Pathfinder Society

3/5

If something appears in the Advanced Race Guide is it only PFS legal for the race it falls under. Some things specifically make reference to the race (Order of the Paw cavaliers can only be halflings) others are more generic (scentbane incense appears under gnome magic devices, but there is no rational reason why any race shouldn't be able to use it).

More specifically, I am looking at plant companions (listed under elves). Do you have to be an elf to have one or could other races get them?

The only way to get a plant companion is to have the Treesinger archetype. Per the Additional Resources:

Quote:
Note: Alternate racial traits, racial archetypes, racial evolutions, racial feats, and racial spells are only available for characters of the associated race. Racial equipment and magic items can be purchased and used by any race as long as the specific item permits it (for example, only halflings can purchase and use solidsmoke pipeweed).

Thus, you must be an Elf to play with a plant companion.

Technically plant companions are listed under tree singer, not under elves. Tree singer is, however, listed under elf.
