Is the feat “Silence the Profane” a limited option in Pathfinder Society play?


Rules Discussion


Hello everyone,

I noticed that on Archives of Nethys, this archetype feat is marked with the “Limited” icon. Is this correct?

https://2e.aonprd.com/Feats.aspx?ID=7258

I haven’t been able to find any mention of this feat being limited in the FAQ or any existing errata, which left me a bit confused.

This is my first time posting here, so I apologize if I’ve made any mistakes in etiquette. Thank you!


I think 'limited' means that you need to buy a Boon for the character in order to have access.

Nethys tries to be accurate regarding PFS access, but there may be glitches. There is an official PFS page for checking what is allowed from each of the books. I am having trouble finding that page though. It may be that the site is having problems right now. https://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety is giving me a 'Bad Gateway' error.

Anyway, if you look there (and hopefully someone with more PFS experience than I have will come along and help you find that better) you can see the status of that archetype or feat.


Yeah, once the website starts working again, I am seeing this here: War of Immortals: Sanctioning.

From the look of that, Silence the Profane is common and not under restrictions for PFS characters.


Yeah, looks like AoN typo.


I believe the feat was previously restricted before errata reduced its ability to disrupt spells.


I also hope this is just a typo on AoN, because I consider “Silence the Profane” to be the most core and distinctive feat of the Vindicator (even though it originally belonged to the Avenger). If I can't pick this feat, I’d lose about 80% of the fun of playing a Vindicator.

Anyway, thank you very much to everyone who replied to my question!


Silence the Profane used to be limited. It isn't anymore as the reason why it was limited was changed in errata.

AoN hasn't been updated with the change.

So you're good to take it in PFS now. Might want to send the AoN folks feedback to update it too.
