Occult Adventures Playtest is Open

The playtest for an upcoming hardcover, Occult Adventures, is now open. The book is scheduled for release in July 2015. I expect this is the major Gen Con release.

This playtest includes six new character classes. Here is the brief description of each:

Kineticist:
 
Capable of controlling elemental forces, the kineticist can call upon her inner power to manipulate the world around her and assault her foes.


Medium:

Drawing upon the power of the spirit world, the medium can perform seances that allow the spirits to inhabit his body, granting him unearthly powers.


Mesmerist:

Manipulating the mind of allies and enemies alike through his hypnotic gaze, the mesmerist can create illusions and powerful enchantments.


Occultist:

Investing his psychic power into objects of personal or historical significance, the occultist can wield such implements to devastating effect.


Psychic:

Purely focused on the power of the mind, the psychic can wield the mightiest of mental magics, allowing her to crush the will of her foes and explore the deepest reaches of thought and consciousness.

Spiritualist:

Forever bound to a phantom, the spiritualist forms a close bond to this otherworldly apparition, whether it resides in her mind or manifests in the world.

If you wish to play one of these new classes in PFS until the hardcover is released, you will need to play it at least once between now and 11/25/14. There is a chronicle that you must have associated with the character which grants your ability to play the character and other potential boons.

I honestly do not see us getting in more than 1 or 2 sessions appropriate for new characters by 11/25/14. If you are interested in trying one of these new classes, speak up so that we can plan accordingly.
