Duskwalker Ancestry Boon


Pathfinder Society

Horizon Hunters

Maybe I'm just not seeing it but where is the duskwalker Ancestry boon in the boon purchase section? I see the other ancestries but I seem to be having trouble finding it. Is it no longer possible to purchase or is there a specific scenario we need to complete to gain access?

Thank you! I was looking under the advanced player's guide section, just below the player core 2, of that page that states

"Ancestries: All ancestry and versatile heritage options, other than those mentioned above under Rarity and Access Adjustments, are of standard availability. As the catfolk ancestry and the dhampir and duskwalker versatile heritages are uncommon, this means they are limited to boon access through Chronicle Sheets or the Achievement Point system."

A bit confusing the two conflict with each other but it makes sense why the boon is gone. Thanks again!

Yeah, there seem to be a few places where the restrictions for the pre-remaster books don't match those for their remastered versions.

I believe that the current list of no-boon-required ancestry options is...

Ancestries (17)
• Catfolk
• Dwarf
• Elf
• Gnome
• Goblin
• Halfling
• Hobgoblin
• Human
• Kholo
• Kobold
• Leshy
• Lizardfolk
• Orc
• Poppet
• Ratfolk
• Tengu
• Tripkee

Versatile Heritages (5)
• Changeling
• Dhampir
• Nephilim
• Dragonblood
• Duskwalker

Mixed Heritages (2)
• Aiuvarin
• Dromaar

I'm glad you found it useful. :)

Determining the current options is difficult because the availability rules listed for some of the older books (like The Lost Omens Ancestry Guide and The Grand Bazaar) haven't been updated to reflect the latest availability rules.

Since there isn't a single location to see the entire list you have to read through the entries of all of the later resources to see if there were any later changes made.

Plus, the Poppet option was only announced in a blog, so you won't find it anywhere on the Character Options page.

Given all that, I realize that I should probably show how I constructed my list.

The Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, Human, Leshy, and Orc ancestries as well as the Aiuvarin and Dromaar mixed heritages are all Common and have Standard availability.

The Changeling and Nephilim versatile heritages are both Uncommon, but in the Pathfinder Player Core entry we have the following text from the PFS Additional Resources: Character Options page.

The Poppet ancestry is Rare, but we have the following text from a June 2024 Blog.

Release the Poppets!

Finally, as announced in our Organized Play Updates panel at PaizoCon, all Pathfinder Society players now have access to the poppet ancestry! This comes just in time for our upcoming poppet-themed Free RPG Day adventure, releasing later this month. Previously-purchased poppet boons also have gained the traditional free resurrection ritual.

If anyone spots any errors or additional options that I've missed, I'd appreciate the corrections.

I welcome my fellow duskwalkers to the Society! I think that the duskwalker is one of the most flavorful and unique versatile heritages that Paizo has created.

I agree. I was planning on making a duskwalker summoner with the psychopomp eidolon. Thought it would fit the theme.
