Hey there fine folks, so I was wondering regarding the "Tenets of Evil" APG Champion causes and their legality in Society play post-remaster. Based on the remaster errata FAQs (specifically in the sections in the Core Rulebook errata and the APG errata), technically, since the elimination of mandatory alignments, ANY Champion whose deity allows for sanctification as "Unholy" would qualify for one of those causes. Now, a LOT of the edicts especially feel like they wouldn't jive with Society play, but since they are no longer restricted by a mechanical alignment, is it legal (feasibility is a whole different beast, much like with the Superstition Barbarian) to play a Champion of one of those causes? As far as I have been able to gather, there has been no update to their status as being restricted or limited on the "Character Options" page nor on Archives of Nethys (I understand that in that case, it will take time to update). So, if my understanding is correct, the prohibition on playing such a character fell to the strict prohibition of characters of the evil side of the alignment chart, and since the need for that has been eliminated, would such characters be technically legal to play in Society play?

I wouldn't count on it. APG FAQ, Remaster compatibility section states that those following the tenants of evil gain the unholy trait. This seems to clash with the Remaster in Society blog which states PCs may not be sanctified as unholy.

Short answer: no.
Longer answer: The Tenets of Evil are an Uncommon option. In order to take an Uncommon option in PFS you need Access, and there is no way to Access this option. This is why we did not explicitly ban these options when the APG was published.
I can't imagine that Player Core 2 will publish these options in such a way that will make them legal for PFS use but as I haven't seen that text yet, I won't speculate further.
