Unchained Rogue and Talents from non PRD sources


Rules Questions


11 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

So, I know that in general, Pathfinder Books do not make reference to things that have been printed outside of the PRD. So it is not surprising that, when the list of Unchained Rogue Talents came out with Pathfinder Unchained, the list was limited to PRD content.

Is it true that Rogue talents that were not redesigned, and also not included in the list of "Unmodified Rogue Talents" (such as Ki Pool or Offensive Defense) are not supposed to be unavailable for the Unchained Rogue?

Would this also extend to all of the Splatbook rogue talents like Sacred Sneak Attack (from Champions of Purity), Bomber (from Ranged Tactics Toolbox), Papercraft Tools (from The Harrow Handbook) and so on and so forth?

What about any new talents that were be printed AFTER Pathfinder Unchained - such as Developed Poison Immunity / Swift Tracker / Green Tongue / Favored Terrain from Heroes of the Wild, or Eerie Disappearance / Pierce the Darkness / False Attacker from Heroes of the Streets?

Does Paizo need to include text in all of their future publications saying "this may be used with either the Core Rule Book or Pathfinder Unchained versions of the Rogue" in order to be available for the Urogue?


So I believe their intention was to redo the CORE RPG line (core, Ultimates and advanced) talents and then say which of those are still available unaltered, which they did. But that all the talents from other books were supposed to be available to both versions. This makes it so as they add talents in the future they don't need to say which versions it's for cause they all are allowed.

Problem with this is that PFS said only what was listed was available. So we either need a FAQ/official statement saying that the talents not in the books listed listed are allowed as they are for both versions, OR we need talents to say if they work for unchained.

Even outside of PFS, this is vey confusing, and will hamstring the Unchained classes.

I don't often do this, but I hit the FAQ button.
