As many of you know, about two weeks ago the Pathfinder Design Team began the playtest for Pathfinder RPG Occult Adventures, Paizo's upcoming hardcover book due out in the summer of 2015. I know a lot of you are already busy trying out the new classes in Pathfinder Society (there's a special Chronicle sheet available for download on the playtest's blog linked above), and in my conversations with the designers, they're thrilled to receive your feedback. In case you have tried out one of these six classes and not left feedback, why not do so now?
Some of the Pathfinder Society players in the Seattle area recently invited me to join in an Occult Playtest run of The Emerald Spire Superdungeon, and I'm finding the new possibilities provided by these six new classes are extraordinarily fun; it's hard to settle on just one concept when there are at least half a dozen that call out to me thanks to the new mechanics and amusing backstory possibilities. One of the leading choices is a half-orc owlbear "shaman" who is actually a medium channeling The Bear and The Owl spirits. I had better decide quickly, because the first game is tonight!
What about you? Have you come up with any interesting ways to weave your playtest character into the setting and the Pathfinder Society? Have you and your friends enjoyed the playtest Chronicle sheet?
