E.T.A. on alternate oracle foci?


Round 1: Cavalier and Oracle


I'm planning on taking a level of Oracle shortly for my gnome/fey PC and am hoping to see a focus that suits him better than what's been offered up so far; perhaps a nature or trickery based focus. I know the fine folks at Paizo are likely just getting back to work following the holidays and that their plates are almost certainly full, but if we can't get an update for the class soon, it'd at least be good to hear if and when we might see something new: This week? Next month? Sometime in April?

I know the class is perceived to have its shortcomings, but I like the flavor of it and am simply anxious to see more! Please? Pretty please?

It would be nice to get a date on this. I am designing an Oracle for a playtest on the 16th and would love to play a new foci.


Still hoping to hear some news on this issue...


are they releasing new foci for Oracle in the play test?

I can't seem to find it now, but I recall reading a mention that more oracle foci would be forthcoming during the playtest. At one point, when asked about them, Jason responded to say that they'd been put on the backburner while he was busy working on the other classes. Now that all six classes are out I was hoping we might get to see them.

That was partially me whining to see more foci....but in all fairness I'm not so sure it was ever stated that there would be new foci "during" the playtest.....It almost sounded to me like they would get to it before the APG was released, but not specifying when O_0

Personally I would love to see if the feedback so far has born any good fruit in regards to foci....so I hope they do in fact release some before the playtest is over.


From page 11 of the Cavalier and Oracle download, under the heading "Foci":

"The following foci are just some of those that will
appear in the Pathfinder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide. As
the playtest continues, other foci will be made available
through the messageboards at paizo.com."

When is the playtest actually over, come to that?

That's great to hear!

Can you give us a ballpark number about how many foci you can give us this time around?

YAY!

DOUBLE YAY! One of my payers has been itching to see some new ones. He absolutely loved the Stone focus.


<@><@> someone say Druid or Nature foci for Oracle?

Cool, will keep an eye out for that.

Jason, that sounds more like you are refering to rereleasing the classes after revision ???

If I'm getting that right....I guess I can wait a little longer for new Foci :)

A little vague, but I'll take what I can get. Thanks for responding Jason! Can't wait to see the new foci. =)

oops, I meant good fortitude saves.


Lisa Stevens posted in another thread to say that the class updates might be out this week, possibly tomorrow. Here's to hoping. *fingers crossed*

That would be so AWSOME


Yeah, tomorrow will go down as a day of great suffering and tragedy in the history of the world's F5 keys.

Your sarcasm and dry sense of humour suits your former faction better than the blue chicken next to your name! However, I don't think the Most Holy Asmodeus or our Glorious Majestrix could ever forgive you for your baseless act of treachery! I know that I -- who trusted and loved you like a brother -- at least never will! ;P

We chaotics don't stress that stuff too much.

I think she's seeing a pattern there. I also told her I'd call her the next day. :D

You loved me? Like a brother or not (and I heard things about dwarven brothers), that is creepy.

But if you trusted a guy in a jester suit, you're even more gullible than that wench on your throne. :P
