It's been a while since I sat down at a Society game, and I'm out of touch with rules changes. The ranger archetypes Skirmisher and Trophy Hunter... are they allowed? I want to say they are, but would prefer someone with more current knowledge than myself confirming it.

Thanks!

Trophy hunter, IIRC, is the gun archetype for ranger. Most gun archetypes are not allowed, for some odd reason.

The correct tool is the additional resources list, as you know. The easy tool is archives of nethys, search for X, filter society-legal only.

Here's some quicklinks:

I did not know, in fact, Manly-man teapot. When I attended Society games in the long ago and far away, all I had was the actual, paper copy of the rules. I have never searched for Society rules online, as I've never gone back after I began using digital tools.

The local group is... disappointing.

I believe the following is the case?

The 'odd' reason is because PFS uses 'emerging guns' as their baseline.

As a result, classes that have it as a *main feature* (read: Gunslinger) have it as their balliwick.

ie, there hasn't been enough time in-canon for firearms to spread to the point where every class has two or three specializations/archetypes with them yet.

If you are just coming back after awhile, you should probably read through the Roleplaying Guild Guide. You'll find all sorts of helpful information in there.
