Hello everyone! The public playtest for Deals With the Dark- Pacts of Fiend and Shadow starts now! This is a supplement for the Pactbound akashic magic class that can be found on DriveThruRPG if you wish to purchase the pdf (or here for free now!)
The playtest doc can be found here.
Inside you will find:
- - Two new pacts for the Pactbound Class- the Fiend pact and Shadow pact with compatibility for the Pactblade and Hexbound archtypes!
- - 3 new pact spirits for each pact!
- - 4 new feats!
- - A new archetype for the Pactbound: the Spellbound.
The public playtest will open until January 1st, but as with my previous playtests the doc will remain available until the book goes on sale.

The following are some updates and edits that have been made!
- Spellbound- new ability added, Bond of Magic. Alters and replaces the pactbound's Honor the Pact ability. It allows the spellbound to treat the spaces their pact spirits occupy as their own when casting spells.
- Pact Spirits- Edits made for clarity in the stat blocks of several pact spirits, specifically the Dark Prophet and Oni Scourge.

Hi all, the following updates and edits have been made!
- Spellbound- Spells ability clarified to work similarly to the Arcanist's spellcasting, using the granted grimoire as their spellbook. The Pact Magic ability now allows the spellbound to replace a single veil set they would gain from their pact with the Runes of the Thaumaturge veil set. The Spellburst magic manipulation has been renamed Spellblast, its base cost has been reduced to 1 manipulation point and wording has been included to clarify its effects. The Improved Essence Capacity ability has been altered to reflect the spellbound's focus on their magics.

The playtest is going well and I'm really liking the content I've made and the reactions to it. I don't have a timeline for the art for this book yet or when it will be published, but it will likely be a few months after Intrusive Thoughts. The following changes and updates have been made:
- Planar Ejection feat- Effects edited for clarity, you are not allowed to move with the bull rushed target(s) and you make a single CMB check and apply that result to the CMDs of any bull rushed targets.
- Planar Servitor and Planar Specter feats- The elemental and specter's max HD and the duration of the summon has been reduced to 1 + ⅓ your nexus level (rounded down, minimum 2).
- The Spellbound archetype- The Spells and Grimoire abilities were edited to clarify that spells are learned from the Occultist spell list and one other spell list granted by their pact, up to 4th level. The Pact Magic ability was edited to grant Sigil of Mysticism as the first pact veil, with additional pact veils shaped at 2nd, 6th, 10th, and 14th levels.
Good to have some free peepin's at the Deals With the Dark- Pacts of Fiend and Shadow Public Playtestin' for PF1e out there, RecordedChaos. ;)
