Request to PFS Leadership Regarding Paths of Righteous prestige class access

[Bristor Gwin]

Any chance we can get a sense of which prestige classes from Paths of the Righteous are outright banned and which are being held in reserve for possible boons? I know at least one has come out as a boon. I’m keen to play a Stargazer, and hoping it may someday be available. I’m not asking for guarantees of what will be released, but rather “here are the ones that MAY someday be released” (or maybe easier to say “here are the definite bans”).

[GM Lamplighter]

I don't think it's fair to ask for an announcement of something before it gets announced, if you get my meaning. Anything Paizo says here will be held against them if things change between now and then.

(I also love the stargazer, though... I hope it makes the cut!)

[GreySector]

I wanted to play a Runeguard until it was taken from (IMO) moderate power level to weak power level by Campaign Clarifications.

"I'm personally hoping for the Devoted Muse.

I'm not even hung up over the whole 'to Glaive', or 'not to Glaive' which seems to be the theoretical ideal that gets it all wound up with overly-large paint brushes.

It can work, even without the signature weapon of the Eternal Rose."

That prestige class is legal and has always been.

I would not hold my breath about that one and play a thematically linked character without the prestige class.

[Isabelle Lee]

Yeah. Stargazer is, I suspect, unlikely to ever become PFS-legal. (I have similar suspicions about heritor knight, but we'll see.)

[Kegdrainer]

Hoping that there might be access to the Brewkeeper in the future.

"Perhaps with some modification of Brew Potion to bring it more in line with the Alchemist class? I totally want to do this!"

[Ragoz]

Dawnflower Anchorite so I can relive the Fochlucan Lyrist druid bard dream.

Also just pretty much every other class in the book. I would like to play those too.

And yeah Devoted Muse has been legal the whole time. It is part of the mighty triple CHA to AC build.

...learns something new every day. Must have conflated the whole Overly Large Brush not being available with the PC not being available...

Try to be careful about that one in regards to certain FAQs.

Quote:

a devoted muse adds 1 point of her Charisma bonus (if any) per class level as a dodge bonus to her Armor Class.

Quote:

When unarmored and unencumbered, the (Scaled Fist) monk adds his Charisma bonus (if any) to his AC and his CMD.

Quote:

the paladin gains a deflection bonus equal to her Charisma modifier (if any) to her AC against attacks made by the target of the smite.

All good here.

If you need quadruple CHA to AC more situationally:

While you are fighting defensively or using the total defense action, select one opponent. Add your Charisma bonus to your AC as a dodge bonus against that opponent’s melee attacks until your next turn. You cannot use this feat if you cannot see the selected opponent.
