Resources for Occultist Pathfinder class
I’ve been playing some Pathfinder Society games at the local gaming store. Two of the gaming groups I’m in used to play Pathfinder but switched to D&D 5th edition. Reverting to Pathfinder feels very strange. It’s not as annoying as D&D 3.5, but it’s close. So. Many. Rules.
I normally play a Ranger or Bard, or some variation on striker with some healing capabilities. I liked the idea of the Occultist class: great flexibility, lots of options to be melee, ranged, or spell-focused. With all of those options, comes complexity. Here are the resources I found for playing this class. The Occultist guide was by far the most helpful, both in creating and playing an Occultist character.
- Implementing Magic: VampByDay’s guide to the Occultist (qmpjjlp5@gmail.com)
- Pathfinder Occultist Guide, on Mack’s blog, on The Dice Decide Podcast web site.
- Last-Man-Standings’s Homebrew Random Occult background generator, linked from the Pathfinder sub-reddit.
It took me far too long to come up with a playable character for Pathfinder Society. I’ve played it twice and so far I’ve enjoyed the Elf Occultist Battlehost (ranged focused).
