Would like to play an Illusionist in PFS. Any class recommendations?

3 years ago by Drunemeton to c/pf2character

Of course it seems like Wizard with an Illusion school speciality is the way to go, but with the upcoming Remaster changes removing those schools I thought I’d ask you find folks.

Plus I’ve only been playing since Feb. 2023 so I don’t really know the classes all that well. Perhaps there’s a ‘hidden gem’ in there I’m unaware would make an excellent Illusionist.

EDIT: I’ve checked AoN and it seems that the Occult tradition gets all of the Illusion school spells, plus a few more that Arcane does not!

I'd also throw out Bard, Sorcerer, and Witch then if you're interested in the Occult list. I really enjoyed my 1e Witch but I think the 2e version may need work according to random Internet comments... You could also try the Psychic but I know waybless there. Also, TIL basically all casters are full casters.

Just realized that Bards are actually three-quarters casters since they only get 3 spells per spell level (others normally get 4) and that Psychics are half-casters (2/4).

witches are also 3/4 in case that's relevant

Witch is being redone with the Remaster project, and if I remember correctly it’ll be in the Player Core 2 book. Releasing sometime in 2024.
