The PSYCHIC PLAYTEST: Is It Pathfinder 2e's Warlock? (A Rules Lawyer Briefing)
188In today's Briefing, the Rules Lawyer analyzes the Psychic Playtest and has a demonstration combat.
EDITS: I change my mind (partially) on what I say about PF1's Kineticist at the end of the video. Also, I forget to say here that Distant Grasp is more about blasting, Infinite Eye is more about buffing, and Silent Whisper is more about de-buffing. Lastly, in the combat example the Psychic would have had obvious sound and visual manifestations to her magic; Psychic spellcasting is no more secret in the playtest. And her Telekinetic Rend calls for a *Fortitude* save.
