I'm having a brain fart, but now that OA play test has ended what do I do with my play test character? I assume I have to partially rebuild since the classes are radically different, but are there boundaries on that rebuild?

Updating the character means retraining any levels in that occult class, adjusting any class features, taking class-appropriate archetypes, and reassigning any skill ranks, feats, traits, or favored class bonuses. As part of the retraining process, such a PC may also sell back any equipment that does not use charges at its full market price (or the price she paid, whichever is lower).

Found it.

That's pretty much it. Now..... To make another thing or not.....

So basically reset button on everything but charged items, race, and stats?

Yes, unless you had multiclassed (for some strange reason), in which case you would not rebuild those classes, only your occult class.

Well that makes it easy then, there aren't a lot of SAD / Con based classes, so I'll just rebuild with the new rules. I liked playing the character well enough, so easy transition.

I made my Aerokineticist a social character with a high Int for Skill points and a low Con because I never liked the Burn mechanic and never planned on using it.

I feel the Overwhelming Soul archetype is perfect for her, but my Charisma is only 12.

Can I reassign my stats?

That depends on whether you think the Roleplaying Guild Guide's section on Playtest and Errata rebuilds applies. Specifically:

If an ability-score-dependent feature of a class, prestige

class, or archetype is altered: You may rebuild your
character to its current XP. Keep the same equipment, but
you can resell any equipment that augments the changed
ability score at its full market price.

Since Form Infusions used CON in the playtest and DEX in release for their DCs, it's clear that an ability-score-dependent class feature has changed. With that being the case, you could make the case for a full rebuild, including changes to your ability scores.

If the rebuild rules in the AR for Occult Adventures is exclusive and limiting, then the answer is no. I would contend that the rebuild rules are not exclusive and limiting. That would also allow all Mediums to get a full rebuild (makes sense given that the entire class completely changed).

Yes, you can reassign stats as part of the full rebuild that Kineticists are entitled to.

Ouch. My dex based self buffing Tifling occultist got hit hard. I'll have to go through and see what i can salvage.
