Occult Adventures Pregens

[FLite]

What are people's opinions on the occult adventures pregens?

Which ones to take? Which ones to avoid?

Also, I have skimmed through them, but just looking it looks like none of them are healers, is that right?

Erasmus the Medium can be a healer if he seances in the Heirophant spirit. You improve your spells known and spells per day to the Mesmerist's chart and pull in 1 spell from the cleric list for each spell level.

Yoon looks incredibly fun to play, and can deal with swarms from level one.

I would say avoid the medium if you don't have the book.

The medium is fine without the book if you just stick with Champion as listed on the sheet. You lose some versatility, but you are an effective fighter.

I admit I hit the bits on "influence 5 = lose your character for the day" and "influence 0 = lose (some of?) your powers" and "swap out your powers for powers from the book" and had pretty much the same reaction of "No way I am playing this without the book." Especially since I was only able to find one way to alter influence on the sheet, and I don't believe that can possibly be the only way.

I will be playing Yoon as much as possible. I know with OA, a more potent kineticist can be made, but that's not necessarily what is driving me. As far as I can tell, there is no other way to play an 8 yr old in PFS; something I've been wanting to do for quite some time. If there is another mechanism to do so in PFS, please let me know.

Last week I role-played her and there was much fun to be had.
