Retraining in PFS Core


Pathfinder Society


I was wondering if retraining a feat/class feature etc. is available in PFS Core play.

My guess is no, but I have a couple players who are hoping to take advantage of it if possible.

Don't believe so :(

Yes it is. Please see the blog post introducing the core campaign. Also, in the future you can post questions regarding the core campaign in the forum specifically for the core campaign.

Presumably, the player would already owns Ultimate Campaign.

Correct, the general rule is that the player needs to own the source of a rule, and for retraining the player should own Ultimate Campaign (either a physical copy that he shows to the GM signing off on the retraining, or a Paizo watermarked .pdf).

Except, if Ultimate Campaign is allowed, is it CORE anymore?

Does this open the door for other exceptions?

If it is retraining from CORE option to CORE option, I don't see why not.

We already have items that show up on chronicle sheets like the axebeak that may require ownership of other materials.

Hmm

Only where the PFS FAQ or PFS blog states that the option is available in Core. Still, it's not ideal.

Yes. As I understand it, the PFS FAQ is legal in core, and subsequently, any FAQ answers which reference blogs or messageboard posts, are also legal in core.

So, in example, that Pharasma Modifed Death Domain is legal in CORE because the FAQ references a message board post that links to the blog post that allows this modified death domain.

And basically the justification here is just that it's hard to argue against the FAQ for PFS in core, despite how grey it is.

Maybe a future Guide could include retraining rules. I think they could be cut down from what's in Ultimate Campaign to one page with a table or two, adding details, as it would already be beneficial to fold in the PFS specific Prestige cost.
