Paizo began playtesting for two new Pathfinder 2E classes, Necromancer and Runesmith, at PAX Unplugged last weekend, with broad playtesting kicking off this week and wrapping up January 31, 2025. For what Paizo is calling the “Impossible Playtest,” the new classes will be available via Pathfinder Nexus, the online Pathfinder character generator, and players will be able to comment on the classes and their mechanics via the Paizo website.
“The necromancer gives players a chance to fill the battlefield with disposable undead thralls, while the runesmith is a supportive martial character who can etch mystic inscriptions on themselves, their allies, and even enemies," Lead Developer for the pathfinder Rules and Lore team James Case explained in a statement accompanying the announcement.
