Paizo Publishing Launches Pathfinder Advanced Class Guide Playtest

Paizo Publishing has launched the playtest, only a little more than a month long, for their upcoming Pathfinder hardcover Advanced Class Guide.

Download the playtest packet here.

Next summer we will be releasing the Pathfinder RPG Advanced Class Guide, a meaty 256-page rulebook filled with new options for players of any class. In addition, the book also contains 10 brand new classes! In the design pit, we call these “hybrid classes” because each one takes elements from two existing base classes and blends them together to create a novel play experience. To make sure that these classes get rigorously testing and fit seamlessly into the Pathfinder experience, we’re turning to you, the fans, to playtest them.

Starting today, you can download the Advanced Class Guide Playtest PDF right here at paizo.com. The PDF contains all 10 of the new classes, ready to become a part of your game, either as a player character or NPC. Give these classes a read, build a character or two, and use them in your game. Once you’ve had a chance to try them out, hop on to the playtest messageboards and let us know what you think. You’ll find a bunch of other playtesters there, also giving feedback on the classes. Hop into the discussion and add your thoughts. The playtest will remain open until December 17th, 2013.

In addition, there will be a survey for each of the classes, allowing us to gain some basic information on your reactions to them. These will be available on Tuesday, November 24th, and remain open until the end of the playtest. You can even change your answers as the playtest progresses, but though on December 17th we’ll close those surveys. Please share your input before then!
