The PSYCHIC class for Pathfinder 2e! Deep Dive + Combat Demo (Rules Lawyer)

39K views • 4 years ago • 1:23:06 We deep dive into the new PSYCHIC class, one of the 2 new classes in THE DARK ARCHIVE, the new Pathfinder 2e book dealing with the occult which releases July 27th! ADDITION: -For psychic spellcasting, you replace verbal actions with thought/emotion actions, AND you replace material actions with somatic actions. --The text says "you can't apply both an amp and a metamagic ability to a cantrip at the same time." CORRECTIONS (thanks to commenters who brought these up): -Emotional Acceptance's "Restore the Mind" lets you add ONE of the effects, not both. -I made Telekinetic Rend more powerful than it should be. Its heightened entry reads as "Heightened 2", so it should be 2d6+2d6+8 damage (average 22), about a 40% reduction of what I do here. STILL, it's a nasty psi cantrip! -Strain Mind deals quadruple your SPELL level to you, not your quadruple your level. 0:00 Introduction 0:56 Thematic overview, comparisons to 5e 2:33 Why & why not? 4:01 Core features 6:52 Unconscious Minds 11:09 Conscious Minds 12:18 The Distant Grasp 15:35 The Infinite Eye 19:41 The Oscillating Wave 24:47 The Silent Whisper 28:41 The Tangible Dream 32:48 The Unbound Step 37:52 Feats overview 38:48 Generic feats 39:36 Offensive feats 44:10 Defensive/Healing feats 46:38 Support feats 50:15 Utility feats 51:19 Flexibility feats 54:39 The Archetype 56:03 COMBAT DEMO!
