Campaign Clarifications changes - can this allow rebuild?

[CraziFuzzy]

So I have a character (my -1, actually) that I made back in mid 2016. Kapenia Dancer. Sometime after she was made, the campaign clarifications were altered and the armor proficiency/arcane spell failure issues were dealt with. Does this type of change allow a free rebuild? specifically, she's been wearing Silken Celestial Armor for years, because of the lack of proficiency and spellcasting ability - had I known about the clarified rule at the time, she probably would have spent a feat early on to pick up light armor proficiency. Is this something she can rebuild for free (swapping out a feat for her armor proficiency, and selling her current armor at full price and buying new), or would she have to spend the prestige to swap the feat and sell her armor for half?

I've read through the blurbs on rebuilding at the end of Ch 2 in the PFS guide, and this situation doesn't really fit any of the listed situations. Is this something I just need to take up with the regional guys, or is it expected that this type of thing falls under the intent of the guide's rebuilding rules?

the clarification in question:

Page 10—Replace the last sentence of the kapenia dancer's weapon and armor proficiency with the following. "A kapenia dancer is not proficient with armor or shields. He does not have the magus's ability to ignore arcane spell failure from armor; however, if he becomes proficient in light armor, he automatically gains the magus's ability to ignore the arcane spell failure chance from light armor. If he becomes proficient in medium armor, at 7th level he ignores medium armor's chance of arcane spell failure. If he becomes proficient in heavy armor, at 13th level he ignores heavy armor's chance of arcane spell failure. This replaces the magus's normal armor proficiencies, including those gained at 7th and 13th level."

Generally the type of rebuild you're looking for only gets granted when a huge cog central to a character gets busted.

You're probably not hosed, you can sell your armor for half and buy new armor. You're not stuck without feats either, you can get the feat at your next level or dip another class for proficiencies.

I'm assuming you mean Silken Ceremonial Armor?

I'd go ask the regional people.

HA! yes, of course I do.

Looking into it, but pretty much agree with the above - it seems the rebuild options are more about changes that screw a character over, than they are about mitigating missed opportunities. In that light, I suppose retraining would be required.
