The Interaction of Venture-Gossip and Pathfinder Agent Archetypes

[Jinglemane]

Hello Everybody, it's Jinglemane reporting live after the biggest convocation of Pathfinder Agents anywhere, GenCon! As the lead reporter and publisher of the Mane Event: Your Guide to Lairs, Dares and Hair Cares, I'm going to ask the question that will be on the minds of Venture-Gossips everywhere:

"How do the Venture-Gossip and Pathfinder Agent archetypes interact?"

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

Context:

This lucky lion won a boon for the Venture-Gossip dedication. Venture-Gossip dedication requires Pathfinder Agent dedication as a prerequisite, and allows a Pathfinder Agent to take the Venture-Gossip dedication without taking 2 other feats in Pathfinder Agent. So now I have TWO dedications going on my character sheet. Do feats from Venture-Gossip count as feats from Pathfinder Agent for the purpose of satisfying dedication requirements? Likewise, do feats from Pathfinder Agent count as feats for the Venture-Gossip?

Jinglemane pauses to bat his eyelashes at Campaign Leadership, as Venture-Gossips do everywhere.

"Please, tell me more!"

Looking at Venture Gossip, it seems the whole special rules is: "Special You can select the dedication feat for this archetype even if you haven’t yet gained three feats from the Pathfinder Agent archetype."

With that as the only rule, there is no other interaction. Pathfinder Agent archetype feats don't count as Venture Gossip feats. Venture Gossip feats don't count as Pathfinder Agent feats. So you would have to spend a lot of feats between them before taking a dedication into some 3rd archetype is possible.

Yeah, that is what I thought. But being a Venture-Gossip means that you are dedicated to your craft.

TOTALLY WORTH IT.
