I don't know if anyone regularly checks the Paizo site or not but they have announced a new addition to the Pathfinder RPG with six new classes in it. Here are the details from their site.

Advanced Player's Guide Playtest

The playtest of the six new base classes set to appear in the Pathfinder RPG Advanced Player's Guide will begin on Friday, November 13th. These classes will be presented as free PDF's that you can download starting Friday morning. Every two weeks we will release two of the classes, until all six have been playtested.

Each pair of classes will be spotlighted for two weeks, but feedback will be accepted through the end of January 2010. Special messageboards will be posted to paizo.com to allow playtesters to submit feedback, ask questions, and talk to other participants. The schedule of the playtest is as follows.

Group 1 (11/13–11/29): Cavalier and Oracle
Group 2 (11/30–12/13): Summoner and Witch
Group 3 (12/14–12/27): Alchemist and Inquisitor

Getting involved is easy. Simply download the files and use them in your games. Create characters and villains using the new classes and give them a try. Then, come back here to post feedback and your play experiences in the playtest messageboards. If you are looking for more opportunities to play, these playtest classes will be available for use in Pathfinder Society events. Look for rules allowing these classes in an upcoming update to the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play.

The playtest of the core rules was a fantastic success and I look forward to working with the community to make the Advanced Player's Guide playtest just as successful.

I hate to say it, but something I personally posted brought the necessity for this Rule to the forefront for me.

Because this site is intended as a place where anyone can come and escape for a while by engaging in some fantasy. And, because different people view things through different lenses. Please refrain from posting anything of a political nature. Any, and all, such posts will be removed from the board.

Just a Few " Suggestions"

A few heavily Encouraged suggestions to make everyone's experience here as enjoyable as poassible

• Read the various forum rules. Each GM will probably have a separate set of rules for his / her game(s)



• Remember your face doesn't show. Words alone can convey sentiment, but without benefit of inflection or facial expression, they can be misconstrued. Use descriptive wording or emoticons to ensure your meaning is clear. By the same token, don't jump to conclusions about another person's intent in posting an unclear comment. When in doubt, ask for clarification.



• Type in lowercase or standard case, not in all caps, unless you are conveying something a character is doing. By the rules of netiquette, all caps equates to shouting. If you type with all caps, you will annoy and possibly offend other board members.



• Say exactly what you would say in person. In other words, if you wouldn't say it to the person's face in front of your Grandmother, you shouldn't type it into a forum. Offensive words and / or graphics will not be tolerated.



• Be respectful. Appreciate that your opinion is one of many. You can disagree with another person without being disrespectful or rude.



• Please, no messages that harass, insult, belittle, or threaten another member. Ignore Trolls. If you engage in conversation, you'll raise your blood pressure and empower the Troll. You can't win a flame war, and you can't sway a Troll's opinion. Often, they don't even care about the subject; they live for the conflict and nothing more. Trolls are common and not worthy of your time. Ignore their posts—no matter how inflammatory—and eventually they'll get bored and move on.



• In the same manner please refrain from posting messages of an overly sexual nature. Try to keep it at least PG13. Flirting between characters or NPCs or saying, "My character hops in the sack with so and so." is one thing, but please, no blow by blow descriptions of the act.



• Cross-posting (i.e. post the same message in more than one forum board) is rude. Choose the forum topic that is closest to your post, and place it there only. If you should create a post in one forum, and later realize it would be more appropriate in another forum, please delete the original before posting it again.



• As this is a play by post forum please be sure to always include your character name in your post and to whom you are talking. This is only to avoid confusion for players and extra work for the GMs. It takes quite a bit of time to go back through the character threads and find out which character goes with which user name.
