About the playtest:
Welcome to the kineticist playtest! This is a class for the player who wants to never worry about running out of spells, to forge a connection with the primal elements of creation, and to just constantly hurl fire or another element of their choice. The kineticist will appear in the upcoming sourcebook Pathfinder Rage of Elements, scheduled for Summer 2023, which also brings new creatures and character options for all elements—including the elements of metal and wood!
The playtest will run until September 5th, 2022. We’re looking for your feedback, comments, and criticisms regarding this class, but we’re focusing our attention on feedback from play, both online through play-by-post campaigns and VTTs and at home tables for those of you who can play such games safely. Make new characters, use them as PCs or adversaries, and run a few game sessions or encounters using them!
Anything can change based on the results of the playtest! These are early iterations of the new class; some abilities might be a bit extreme or stretch some assumptions of the game, and the best way to find out if we’ve gone too far (or in the wrong direction) is for us to deliver a class into your hands. We don’t expect to release any changes to these classes during the playtest itself, only in the final version of the book.
