Pei Zin Practitioner Questions

[Socalwarhammer]

Just want to clarify that it appears that since the Archetype is approved and that 'Herbalism' can be used in place of Alchemy to create alchemical cures, found in the PCC: Alchemy Manual (assuming the Pei Zin Alchemy section only), that a Pei Zin Practitioner appears to be able to 'craft' certain alchemcial items for use in PFS just like an Alchemist and/or Investigator.

This feels like a grey area in PFS, since the FAQ only specifically mentions Alchemists and Investigators. It definitely seems like Pei Zin should be able craft Alchemy stuff in PFS.

until clarified the answer is no because it isn't allowed and the current rule that lets alchemists do it isn't broad enough to catch it. (assuming I'm remembering right)

Thanks guys. I knew it was going to be a gray area. I will agree that this is another question (in a long line) that needs to be added to the FAQ.

I am just hoping that this is 'approved' for use in PFS. The Pei Zin Practitioner gives up a considerable number of skills and revelations when selecting this archetype... it would be sad to see players unable to use this ability to create the limited number of 'natural' or 'plant -based' items it PFS.

Archetypes: The archetypes in this book are legal for play. The arcane physician gains Spell Focus rather than gaining Brew Potion. The restorer archetype's guide across lifetimes ability grants heal as a spell-like ability once per day in place of reincarnate.

Yeah... Hopefully this will just take a hand-wave and be approved. Seems pretty obvious to me... But that's just me.

That ability doesn't work like the alchemy class feature of the alchemist or investigator, and its the alchemy class feature that allows the crafting of alchemical items.

To me, it seems pretty clear that unless a special ruling was made for that archetype, the answer is no.
