The Psychic begins with six cantrips?


Psychic Class


The Psychic's Spell Repertoire feature (pages 4-5) says that you gain "three occult cantrips of your choice." Later, it says "Your choice of conscious mind also grants you additional spells in your repertoire, starting with an additional 1st level spell and two cantrips listed in your conscious mind."

The Conscious Mind class feature actually grants three surface psi cantrips. Is this an editing artifact? I'm not aware of any PF2e spellcaster with a Repertoire having six cantrips at Level 1. How many occult cantrips "of your choice" should a Level 1 psychic have?


Sorcerers have six cantrips, don't they, when you include their bloodline cantrip? Just like specialist wizards.

I'm pretty sure it's 5 normal cantrips and a unique one, just like Witch and Bard!

Ah, you're right. (With regard to the bard which is more relevant, as its a spontaneous caster.) I was basing my statement on the sorcerer, which learns 4 cantrips plus the cantrip from their bloodline.

Okay, so I suppose the Psychic is intended to have 3 "free choice" cantrips plus 3 from their Conscious Mind feature.

5 cantrips from the occult list (2 have special uses with focus points).

One special class specific cantrip.

Total is 6, but how you get there matters.


Oracle also gets six cantrips
