I thought this to be a note worthy discussion. I really enjoy the mechanics of the Pathfinder 2e gameplay and RPG approach.
I was in the middle of designing a few homebrew items for my campaign setting and I would like to have some pointers.
A homebrew class I have in mind involves mixing martial and occult casting. With some divine elements. I know myself to go a bit extreme. However I am interested in Gothic and Cosmic horror, With some Dark Souls themed settings. I am currently thinking about an occult martial combatant.
As far as I can see is that the planning process is a bit chaotic and I would like some pointers on where to begin.
I think the first place I'd point you is the Homebrew forum where this is more commonly discussed. That said, it's not a very frequented part of the boards and you might not get what you're looking for.
I believe that there are Discords that are devoted to homebrew and conversion, but I don't know many details about them. There is, of course, the Homebrew Reddit which is likely to have answers more in line with what you're looking for.

That forum doesn't get as much traffic overall, yes. But it also won't get as much negative traffic either.
I think you need to articulate your goals a bit better, both for us to be able to help and to clarify for yourself. Why are you building homebrew classes and ancestry? Who are they for? What does your class do that isn't covered already by warrior muse bard, occult summoner, or thaumaturge? What themes does it present? What is its play style?
