Aasimar Oracle questions

[Elysia99]

Alrighty folks - I need advice about creating a character for the Pathfinder Society. I wanna make an aasimar oracle and I am pretty sure I wanna do the Heaven mystery. Can anyone explain the racial archetype Purifier? What is a racial archetype? Is the Purifier archetype a good idea or a bad idea?

Thank you!!!

Do you actually have the boon that lets you play an Aasimar? Because They aren't society legal if you don't.

Archetypes let you customize a character to better fit a concept. So the Purifier gets a replacement list of bonus spells, fewer spells per day (you probably get plenty anyway), and about half your revelations are already chosen for you. The important thing you'd be missing, is that you wouldn't get bonus spells from your mystery, and you get less Heavens revelations. You get Purifier stuff instead, at the levels it says.

Some archetypes are crazy awesome, and some are ugly messes of non-functionality. I'm not familiar with the Purifier, aside from remembering it from the Advanced Race Guide. It looks pretty cool, though.

I hate to burst your bubble, but aasimar is not currently legal for PFS and the race boon for it is incredibly rare and valuable. You might as well forget about playing an aasimar.
