Fiction: A LOT of my initial predictions ended up being right. I think an emphasis on what makes the investigator unique could see it developed into the perfect detective / skill-emphasizing class for PF2. Want to be a standard investigator? Grab the alchemist multiclass archetype. Drop the alchemy and the spellcasting, focus on expertise and studied combatant, and have feat options give you new ways to use your inspiration and skills. As a result, I think that there’s room for the investigator to simply be an awesome skill-focused class.
In PF2, the rogue is awesome at skills and is very clearly the agility fighter. In PF1, the investigator is the BEST at skills, and it truly does a good job of feeling like the “smart” fighter. It’s parents are the alchemist and the rogue, and yet somehow the investigator developed into this very distinct class that sort of transcended both of them. The investigator in PF1 is a very strange class. As a result, I had a TON of feelings going into this one. The investigator is literally one of my favorite classes in PF1 it’s tied with the bloodrager for me. So sit back, relax, and get ready to read! Investigator I am going to be giving my 100% opinionated opinion on each, comparing what was done by the design team to my initial predictions earlier in the year while also providing some thoughts and commentary as appropriate. So for today’s article, I’m going to do a quick rundown of each of the four classes in the APG as they appear in the Playtest-the investigator, the oracle, the swashbuckler, and the witch. And what could be more “new” then new classes, right? Sure, we got Lost Omens Character Guide and plenty of content in the various Adventure Path volumes, but when you get down to it those products feel like they solidify existing territory rather than explore anything new. Now, of course, you’ve probably figured out what my article is about for this week-the Playtest Classes! The first dedicated Player Options book of a new edition is a super important one because it almost sets the stage for how that game is going to grow and evolve over time. As a matter of fact, if you’re reading this article on the day I publish it (November 13th, 2019), then you can check the Know Direction Twitch TONIGHT and watch my fellow Know Directioneers Ryan Costello and Vanessa Hoskins chat about the playtest with one of the Pathfinder Design Team’s most esteemed members, Lyz Liddell! It is not going to be an episode that you’ll want to skip.
Yes folks, the Advanced Player’s Guide playtest is upon us, and I know that other people in the Know Direction Network family are eager to talk about it. Welcome to Guidance! I’m Alex Augunas, the Everyman Gamer, and we’ve got a PLAYTEST, folks! We haven’t had one of those since August 2018 (which I guess is only a year ago…).
