As In Life, So In Death

[LordPretzels]

Does the text "You can choose any ancestry" allow for uncommon ancestries to be chosen in PFS? I'm curious because the Steadfast Refugee boon is expensive and you can only purchase it once.

As In Life, So In Death
Specific memories of your old life are hard to hold onto, but you know things without remembering why. You gain the Adopted Ancestry feat. You can choose any ancestry, but it is likely to be one that matches both your skeleton heritage and who you were in life. As long as your body is completely covered by armor or clothing, you do not have to attempt Deception checks against a creature's Perception DC to successfully Impersonate yourself as a member of that ancestry. This is a non-magical disguise that doesn't protect against divination. This disguise doesn't provide any benefit against a creature actively attempting a Perception check against you.

Ancestral Adoption Boon:

(Slotless): Whether you grew up with an unlikely family or have since been adopted into an uncommon culture, you have a powerful connection to an uncommon ancestry’s techniques. When you gain the Adopted Ancestry feat (Pathfinder Core Rulebook 258), you can choose either hobgoblin, leshy, or lizardfolk in place of a common ancestry. The following are the ancestry feats you can select from these three options.

Hobgoblin: Agonizing Rebuke, Alchemical Scholar, Expert Drill Sergeant, Hobgoblin Lore, Hobgoblin Weapon Discipline, Hobgoblin Weapon Expertise, Hobgoblin Weapon Familiarity, Leech-Clipper, Pride in Arms, Remorseless Lash

Leshy: Bark and Tendril, Harmlessly Cute, Leshy Lore, Leshy Superstition, Lucky Keepsake, Shadow of the Wilds, Undaunted

Lizardfolk: Lizardfolk Lore, Marsh Runner, Reptile Speaker, Terrain Advantage

The ancestral adoption boon is very specific. is this a case where the specific text of As in life so in death override the common requirement of adopted ancestry? Does the PFS boon Ancestral adoption limit As in life so in death to common ancestries instead of all ancestries? I'm leaning toward the boon limiting As in life so in death, but curious to if A solid argument stands allowing for uncommon choices.

There is a Campaign Clarification that limits Adopted Ancestry.

Quote:

The Adopted Ancestry feat (page 252) can only be used to select common ancestries or ancestries which all Pathfinder agents have access to (such as kobolds). The Organized Play team will look to create additional boons to allow characters to be adopted by additional ancestries.

Book text wouldn't override a campaign clarification. The boon adds options to the campaign clarification.
