Anything good for occultist in occult origins or any other new book that i don't know about?

I didn't see any spells or feats that really jumped out as "Oh my gosh my Occultist needs this!", but I did think the archetype for the Occultist in Occult Origins was pretty cool. Basically a divine caster with a implement/divine focus that gives extra powers based on your deity (required). I liked the flavor of it, but probably wouldn't rank it any better or worse than most other archetypes for the class.

Reliquarian had potential but as written the archetype is a bit wonky. It switches Mental Focus to WIS but leaves Focus Powers linked to INT. Not too bad if you only pick Focus Powers w/ no save but limits evocation/enchantment badly.

The really wonky part is that it changes spells to divine but leaves INT as the casting stat. From what I can find, that leaves things up in the air. The entry for divine magic says WIS is the relevant ability for most divine spells and uses paladin as an example exception. I can see arguments for and against switching casting to WIS which seems a mess.


Occultist gets access to the new Ectoplasmic Hand spell at level 5, which has a lot of the functionality of Telekinesis at a longer duration/shorter range, plus can deliver touch attacks and threaten as a flanking buddy for you or an ally.

But yeah, not an Occultist specific thing.
