just checking if the Animist playtest class will still be available after the pathfinder character tools exit beta in a few weeks? or do I need to prep my player to switch to paper?
The refactor will not cause you to lose access to any characters or rules that you currently have access to. It will be purely additive. 
Perfect, that was just what we hoped, was just curious about the playtest classes, as they’re an edge case, so does this mean they’ll be available until their official form is released?
That’s our current plan.
I don’t think we’re ready to share how we’ll handle the playtest materials once the full classes launch, but I don’t think we would do anything that would cause your existing characters that use the playtest to be unusable.
