Current Legal Races


Pathfinder Society


What are the current legal races for Society? My GM said there should be a PDF with them but I can't find it.
I'm planning on making a monk based on a fanfic character I came up with who is basically a maned wolf beastman (GM already said I can reskin a Gnoll to look like a maned wolf instead of a hyena, just can't chance his stats any).
Can I play a Gnoll or, if not, a Kitsune, under current society rules?

Here is the pdf you are looking for.


Er, this PDF doesn't list the legal races. It's just a character sheet, item tracker, and some boons for a first character.
I appreciate the attempt, but this actually isn't what I was looking for. I need to know if I can play a Gnoll or Kitsune.

Most of the Tien-affiliated races (which the Kitsune is) are fine, but Gnolls aren't.

4/5 *****

Core Races (from the core rule book), Tengu, Nagaji, Kitsune, Oread, Ifrit, Slyph and Udine.

EDIT: Forgot Wayang

Follow the link above and about half way down the page is where you can download the most recent guide to organized play.

Happy Gaming.

No, that link definitely takes you to the document you need.

Appendix 1 Character Creation will state:

Quote:

Select your character’s race. The choices offered in the Core Rulebook are always available, as are ifrit, kitsune, nagaji, oread, sylph, tengu, undine, and wayang, provided you own a copy of the appropriate source book. [/ooc]

Not the bonus Character sheet download but the free product that page is for.

Page 25 of the pdf has PFS character creation rules, including available races.

As others have posted above, gnolls are not legal to play. You'll need to let your GM know that gnolls are not a legal race for society play. Hopefully, they aren't allowing just any race a player wants to play except for the ones listed in the Guide to O.P.


...I don't understand this site at all. Thank you all for your help, I got the right PDF now. Thought the characters sheets and stuff on the linked to page were all there was.
Guess I'm making a Kitsune Monk.

As other's have already said, you can play a Kitsune but not a Gnoll. However, you cannot do the bit I bolded, and your GM does not get to tell you that you can. Things in PFS have to look like what they (mechanically) are.

The reskin rules are there to prevent one thing from looking like another with different stats: a pig like a dog was the cause of that kerfuffle

When something is generic like "big cat" you have a LOT of leeway, could be a lion. A tiger. A liger. A largeish puma. Raptor could be an eagle a hawk a falcon an owl.. it's not reskinning it's just varied flavor.

When something says "wolf" you don't know if it's a red wolf, a gray wolf, mexican wolf, all black wolf, abyssian wolf... as long as anyone looking at it would reasonably go "ack, big wild doggie" you're probably good.

When kitsune say they look like foxes, it doesn't say red red fox, silver red fox, silver fox, fennec fox, kit fox... We had an osirion kitsune in our group who looked like a fennec fox.

This is a maned wolf Its reddisth, has very foxish markings. So if you want to use that for your picture of a kitsune with a mohawk, close enough for state work.
