The Sarcastic Sage's page

Am I the only one surprised and disappointed that Sorcerers only get 6 class feats? Especially when Wizards get 8? I was under the impression that all classes got 10 class feats, with the exception of fighters who get more. I wanted to recreate an Arcanist by taking the Wizard archetype, but doing so leaves me with virtually no sorcerer feats. In fact, with only 6 class feats, Sorcerers are severely discouraged from partaking in any archetype. Is this an oversight, or by design?

I was surprised as well, but then I really looked at it, and I have come to believe that it's by design. At levels 6 & 10, instead of getting a feat as the other caster classes do, they get a bloodline power, and more spell points, which is roughly equivalent.

Can we take this as an indication that the 6th level caster doesn't exist in 2e?

All the classes in the playtest have been previewed now and no half-casters to be seen so there will not be any the playtest and probably none in the PF2 CRB. Doesn't mean that there isn't room for them in future PF2 books but probably not till 2020.

There is still a chance for Druid being a half-caster! (...Probably not, though.)

What about Paladin, though?

Take a look at their preview. Paladins lost all spell slots, and now use spell points.

So do they have occult or arcane spell list?

From how I read it, it seems like arcane.

"bards are the primary occult spellcasters"

We don't know this for sure. In fact, all the evidence we have suggests that the increments are +2 even for higher stat boosts (note that Mark gave a bunch of stat arrays and none of them included an odd number...). Personally, I like this way better. Essentially forcing characters to generalize (or get half the usual bonus) is bad in my book.

Confirmed in this thread, actually

Logan mentioned a stat progression with 18 Str/16 Dex at 1st level, 19/18 at 5th level, 20/19 at 10th level, etc.

If this is true, then how did Mark arrive at a Strength of 24 in is example stat spread upthread? Also, Mark's examples have far more stat points then is possible given Starfinder's progression.
