Any word on new PFS retraining rules?

[pjrogers]

There was some talk of this back in October and November (see this post).

I'm asking because I'm dying to retrain my bloodrager (aka "Paladin of Calistria") and get her a bloodline emissary viper familiar in place of her 1st level bloodline power. I think a gold-ringed cat snake would make an amazing looking familiar for a follower of Calistria.

Seconding this. There are a lot of new classes that don't have a way to retrain their class features. I know somebody that would really like to retrain one of their Vigilante talents. It ended up not working the way they thought it would but they didn't realize it until they had gained a few levels. Especially when there are new classes, you don't always understand how their options work until you've played them awhile. I get having to pay the prestige and gold to retool things; but a lot of classes don't even have this as an option.

This would be very nice to have. Ran into this when I was told my Skald couldn't pay to retrain his rage powers.

According to page 36 of the current season's PFS Roleplaying Guild Guide under the Addendum: Character Revision

Roleplaying Guild Guide wrote:

Retraining: After 1st level, if you own a copy of Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Campaign, you can use the retraining rules beginning on page 188 to alter your character. All changes must be tracked on your Chronicle sheets or Inventory Tracking Sheets, made in the presence of a Roleplaying Guild GM, and initialed by the observing GM. The GM can audit your character before allowing changes, so bring your character sheet and all Chronicle sheets to the GM. Retraining may be limited by time constraints. When retraining, players must expend wealth as outlined in the Retraining section of Ultimate Campaign, as well as 1 Prestige Point per day of retraining since time between adventures is undefined.

For just the bloodline power, I would say it would take 5 days (5 Prestige) and GP equal to 10 x your level x 5.

Trainedchimp, unfortunately, since PFS is RAW and there is no Bloodrager entry in the retraining section, you cannot retrain your bloodline power.

I thought that since the bloodrager and the sorcerer both have the same class feature, I thought the line under retraining that explained a sorcerer retraining their bloodline power would apply to bloodragers as well.

I also was under the impression that all the hybrid classes would use the combination of their parent classes.

Alas no, there was this post back in October that pretty clearly said that in PFS, you can't use the retraining rules for the features of classes that aren't explicitly listed in Ultimate Campaigns.

There was at the same time mention of a possible Organized Play FAQ to address this issue, and that's what I was asking about in my original post.

There was a FAQ that covered the ACG classes but nothing for any classes produced since then.

[BigNorseWolf]

a poke at archetype retraining would be nice too. The cost is simply too high for a lot of things.

I believe this FAQ was only for retraining for one class to another, not for how ACG classes could retrain class features.

Unless there is another FAQ that I'm not aware of.

retraining synergy is just meaning which classes take 5 days to retrain into vs those that take 7 days to retrain into. NOT that they are able to use any rules of those classes.
