Pathfinder 1E Occult Adventures playtest available

Addition of an "Adventure Sites" line that creates locations (ruins, tombs, temples, etc.) that can be used by GMs as location-based adventures rather than plot-based adventures. These should be fully detailed locations (not left to GM development) that be dropped into any campaign when desired.

This would be fantastic. I might need to subscribe to this.

I might mind more players options if there weren't a ton of options I still wanted.

A lot of simplicity at the table is just choosing the right options during character generation and level-up (simple archetypes, simple spells, simple feats, simple talents, etc.). But there aren't generally enough simple options to support a 1-17 run, especially if you want to have it involve actual choices.

Because my group is a tiny fraction of Paizo's audience, only a tiny fraction of character options are aimed at us... so we need a lot of character options printed to get everything we need.

Cheers!

I'm simply unable to grok the occultist class. I have not idea what it is or what its purpose is.

Also, not one but two spirit-infused classes? Honestly, the medium looks good but the spiritualist is completely redundant (and the name is not good, either).

I think you could compare the occultist to the psychic warrior from the Expanded Psionics Handbook or the Inquisitor or a hybrid. Its purpose, well, I guess that is something like the generalist occult class, but I have not read it closely enough to know if I'm on the right track.

I've only had one read through of the playtest document. I thought it was a very interesting take on psionics that makes more sense in most fantasy type worlds than the more science fiction flavored ones in previous incarnations.

Thanks, Sniper! That is definitely what we are shooting for!

I'm actually running a playtest of the Occult Adventure classes in a PBP game on the rpg.net forum. I'm using the Witchwar Legacy. I got a two Kineticists (A human fire bender and an Aasimar sandbender) a Half Elf Mesmerist, and a Darakhul (Basically a Ghoul) spiritualist.

The rpg.net forums are down atm, but so far its going well, if a bit slowly. The team is currently involved in their first fight against the advanced Remorhaz in area 4.
