Pathfinder Playtest

This playtest presents two new classes for Pathfinder: the daredevil and the slayer. The daredevil and slayer will appear in an upcoming Pathfinder sourcebook scheduled for Summer 2027. We haven’t announced this book yet, but rest assured that it will be full of similarly thrilling and adventurous character options! The playtest will run until April 10th, 2026. We’re looking for your feedback, comments, and criticisms regarding these classes, but we’re focusing our attention on feedback from play, both online through play-by-post campaigns and VTTs and at home tables for those of you who can play such games safely. Make new characters, use them as PCs or adversaries, and run a few game sessions or encounters using them!

The daredevil is a risk-taker and explorer, often running headfirst into dangerous situations, assuming their skills and luck will pull them through. They rely on adrenaline to fuel their daring abilities, which sometimes get them into trouble!

The slayer is a monster-hunter extraordinaire, using their knowledge of creatures and their tactics to their full advantage. Slayers can take trophies from their kills, which enhance their weapons and armor in unique ways.
