So, one of my players is creating an Occultist character. The player asked if he was supposed to be a ninja, since the archetype's main attribute and skill are Precision and Stealth. Is this right, or maybe an errata? I find it strange that the main attribute and skill are not something like Logic/Learning for an occult-savvy guy, or maybe Empathy/Manipulation if you prefer more of a charlatan type. What do you think?

She manipulates her targets with tricks so they believe what they see and what she say. In order to do that she needs to be good in Stealth, a skill used for all sorts of stealthy things like tricks and with her conjuring tricks talent she can use it to make targets believe all sorts of bogus bs . She has sham as a trade, logic/learning has nothing to do with that.

If you like, Occultist=Illusionist who likes to spook people.
If your player wants to have "real" powers, there are Talents for that.

I created a GMPC of a Medium, I used the Academics archetype instead of Occultist, and 1st Talent she could get from other archetypes, she took Medium. I think it could work well with a Writer archetype as well.
