Lamashtu's minions have been a growing threat along the Long Coast. The Mother of Monsters has been stirring up the goblins and bandits, and her cult has grown. Local heroes have put many of these threats to rest, but some warier souls have sensed a deeper plot. Can your Occult Playtest characters put an end to the Cult of Lamashtu's nefarious plot in the Sinister Sect of Sandpoint?

SO MANY DOTS. DOT DOT DOT.
Sorry. I'm exited.
Thinking of rebuilding my old bard as a Mesmerist.
I'm in. I call dibs on running an Occultist.
Spiritualist please.
Dotting.
Alright, here's my character, Darin. Stats and backstory are in the alias. I'm excited to use him again, as I've only used him for a one-shot.
OK, here's a kitsune Occultist archer. I may start something like this in PFS before too long, so I thought I'd try a higher-level version to see how it plays.

So very interested. Would love to play Aether or Earth Kineticist or an Occultist.
Can I play a class from Ultimate Psionics? Or am I the only GM willing to compare the two books in playtesting?

Working on building Melinda Thames a gnome geokinetecist. Will have her complete and stats moved over to an alias this evening.
Melinda Thames is put together and ready for review.
Rejiggering my stats, plus bumping.

Ready for review. Link to sheet in character profile.
I'll get one designed! I'm eager to explore the playtest classes and I'll get something together for this shortly!
I am probably going to make a Spiritualist - that class seems fascinating.

Can I play a class from Ultimate Psionics? Or am I the only GM willing to compare the two books in playtesting?
Sorry, EltonJ, but the character requirements are clearly spelled out in my initial post. Dreamscarred Press did a wonderful job of playtesting their classes, and the window for this playtest is just to narrow for me to mix the two.

Ah, have fun.
Too bad, I would have enjoyed playing it.
Poe, the Occultist is near complete, will be finished later today when I can update the profile.
Alias created
I hope you don't mind if I use the same alias for this and another playtest of a higher-level version of this same character. I've got both stat blocks in the profield (and I rejiggered this one again).
Just making sure, how were we doing HP?
Woohoo, glad to be a part of this! Thanks for putting this together Reckless.
Augustus, I took a look at your stats to see how you built your Occultist differently, but I'm confused by your spells section. Did you include every spell from your chosen schools on your spells known list? You should only get one spell known per implement per level, chosen from the list.
Do HP as max 1st level, and 4 for d6, 5 for d8, and 6 for d10 after that.
Fixed!
Those spells were just a text dump, I've updated the spells to show the ones I've chosen. Had family in town last week that made updating more difficult.
