A number of our options (clear spindle, lore warden, tribal scars) are going to be altered as soon as they're put into the srd. Can we
- Swap the options out now
- have to wait till the options change
- You're stuck with them, no backies. MUhahhahahaha
All joking aside, I hope that the first option is a legal choice, because having to wait however many *months* or *years* would be kinda a long time to write 'Implementation Delay' on chronicles, plus may inspire 'Assimar/Tiefling'-grade powerleveling.

Yep, we have a preliminary write-up of how we're handling rules updates, including more permissive options for rebuilding in cases where the baseline rules update policy would be insufficient.
If there is a special dispensation that you believe is necessary based on the recent Additional Resources update, let me know here. Based on the history of rules update threads, it would be helpful to stick to the specifics of how the issue affects your character. It's harder to build policy around broad statements of disapproval.
For example:
What Changed: The Galtan guillotine-savant slayer archetype
What's the problem: The gratuitous coup ability changed from an attack action to a standard action, which throws off my Vital Strike build.
What I'd like to see: Just retraining my slayer levels doesn't really correct things. I also need to retrain my Vital Strike feats and offload this +1 vorpal scythe.

Most of what I'm asking is if the baseline rules update policy goes into effect before the mandatory update.
I don't think we've ever had a "this thing is going to change".
So for example Grr a foxform fighter has Tribal scars raptor scale. Can I swap it out for Pirhana strike now or do i need to wait until the option is changed officially ?

As am I Isabelle. In the meantime Mr. Compton, can I make a recommendation that rather than isolate your request to a thread by someone else that others haven't seen, you create a thread (possibly stickied) to make sure these issues are consistently addressed? I'm merely flashing back to the ACG eratta and Slashing Grace being limited to a single hand, which absolutely ruined one of my characters (a two-weapon fighting swashbuckler) and wasn't fixable because I could only retrain slashing grace, leaving me with TWF feats and negative Strength.

Important to note: At NO cost/free retrain if adopted earlier than actual 'official/official' date.

Even if any special Pathfinder Society resolution/dispensation should happen before the PRD is updated, the working assumption's that any changes—retraining allowances, reselling gear, etc.—would have no in-game cost.

That makes sense. See this Handling Adventurer's Guide Updates thread.

The following character options have received updates since they appeared in earlier publications, and characters must use these updated versions
How does not owning the adventurers guide affect the updates? I assume you have to sell/retrain those options as you cannot actually use the updated version without the book.
