Ultimate Magic Question

[xXxTheBeastxXx]

I don't know if this has been asked on the Paizo boards or not, or whether it's already been answered elsewhere.

I was just wondering, with the Magus class being announced for Ultimate Magic as, essentially, a first-party gish, is there any word as to whether Paizo will be releasing an alpha/beta for public playtesting?

Up until now, I've been using the Genius Guide Vanguard and Paul O'Connel's Weirbrand from PathfinderDB as gishes in my campaigns. I find both of them very nice and flavorful classes, but I would love to see what sorts of ideas Paizo can bring to the table.

Just wondering if there's any information floating around.

Thanks in advance,

Well, my guess is yes, since they've play-tested every other book, but then consider not everything in the APG was released as a playtest - only the new classes. So, again guessing, the Magus will most likely see playtest before that book is released. (But that won't be for quite a while yet. I imagine you have a long wait.)

There is a post on the Paizo forums from Vic Wertz the technical director that details are still being worked out on a playtest and to watch the Paizo blog.
