Mnemonic editor and Theme

[Shaudius]

So with the impeding release of Pact Worlds (some lucky subscribers who aren't me already have it) there are 14(!) new themes being released. This being the case, I am sure that there are some themes that may be better suited for character concepts than those currently available in the CRB.

That being said, I am wondering if I can get a ruling on how the mnemonic editor works with regard to retraining theme, this is sort of an offshoot of the race question in a previous thread but unlike race, it seems like a theme could definitely be something that could be erased by erasing the first level of a character.

Is this true? Can we pick a new theme by paying the 4 fame for a mnemonic editor prior to playing 3rd level with that character or is theme something that cannot be mnemonic edited.

Yes.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't change your theme. When you use a mnemonic editor

Quote:

All decisions you made as a result of advancing over the previous 2 character levels you gained are undone. You then make new selections, including new class levels, feats, skills, and the like, as if you had regained the 2 missing character levels. Go through the normal process of advancing your character through each of these 2 levels.

The normal process at first level includes choosing a theme.

I can see an argument against it from the way Character Creation is written, but not a particularly strong one. If you can change your 1st level class, you can probably change your theme, as both are steps before applying your first level (step 6).

[Gary Bush]

Agreed, theme can be changed as you asked.

As long as you are using the editor at level 3 or below, this shouldn't be a problem. If you are level 4, you can only go back and change decisions from level 2 and 3, thus it would be too late to use the editor.
