It allows you to use the special properties of weapons, which could be helpful for bypassing DR, but by the time this would be useful you will deal more damage using the basic version of the blast and suffering the damage reduction. Combine this with an Infusion which extends your Blast's range, and you can cover great distances in one shot. Element wood; Type substance infusion; Level 1; Burn 1Prerequisite positive blastAssociated Blasts positiveSaving Throw none. The target is forced to waste a turn extinguishing itself only for you to set it on fire again the next turn, or it can continue to slowly burn to death. The metal you create with this infusion crumbles away shortly thereafter and has no gp value. If you increase the burn cost to 2 or reduce the damage to 0, it also dispels magical fires as if you were a water elemental with a number of Hit Dice equal to your kineticist level. Force Barrier: This is unfairly good. Class Skills: A psychokineticist adds Knowledge (local) and Diplomacy to her list of class skills. It's the best basic physical blast, but it's also a regular ranged attack, so it's not as reliable as an energy blast. Since it’s part of another action (and isn’t an action itself), using this wild talent doesn’t provoke any additional attacks of opportunity. Element(s) earth or wood; Type form infusion; Level 6; Burn 4Prerequisite(s) extended rangeAssociated Blasts autumn, earth, magma, metal, mud, spring, summer, verdant, winter, woodSaving Throw none. However, this method is largely useless. Element air, fire, or water; Type substance infusion; Level 2; Burn 2Associated Blasts blue flame, cold, electric, fireSaving Throw none. Ranged touch attack. When you hit a target with your infused blast, you can attempt a ranged touch attack against an additional target that is within 30 feet of the first. The weapon deals the same damage type that your kinetic blast deals, and it interacts with Armor Class and spell resistance as normal for a blast of its type. Your kinetic blast can strike any target within 480 feet. This is an excellent go-to Infusion option if you don't need anything else because it's almost always useful and the Burn cost is low enough that Geather Power and Infusion Specialization can offset the cost. Element(s) fire; Type substance infusion; Level 7; Burn 4Associated Blasts blue flameSaving Throw none. Element(s) fire; Type form infusion; Level 3; Burn 2Prerequisite(s) extended rangeAssociated Blasts blue flame, fire, magma, steamSaving Throw Reflex half. These talents are the tools in your toolbox. However, it allows a save and requires an attack roll so you have two chances to fail, and if you miss the attack roll the target has a lot of flexibility to position themselves. You can use this infusion only while also using the kinetic fist form infusion. All creatures and objects in one of the wall’s squares when you create it take 1/4 the normal damage from your blast with no saving throw (or half the normal damage for an energy blast). Use it to force enemies to move if they want to attack. Also note that many colored items are also links to the Paizo SRD. Cold Adaptation: Crucial in cold climates, and cold resistance is really nice. Your blast sends strange electric signals through the target’s body, scrambling its synapses and causing it to become staggered for 1 round. (If you’re a telekineticist, you instead transfer the power of your kinetic blast to any object held in one hand.) Touchsight, Reactive: Basically a bad version of Uncanny Dodge. The 10 foot speed bonus is nice, but probably not enough to justify taking this. However, it has some strict limitations. Form Infusions include Blade, Blade Whirlwind, Wall, and Deadly … You can increase the burn cost of this infusion to increase the maximum distance pushed by 5 feet per additional point of burn accepted. You grab a large number of objects and throw them all at once. If the creature you attempt to throw succeeds at a Fortitude save, it negates the blast entirely. You need to be hit for the effect to trigger, and you really need to invest a lot of effort into not getting hit if you want to survive in melee. Fragmentation: If you want a 20-foot AOE, Explosion will cover that need. While wild talents are just common passive and active abilities, infusions are a different beast altogether: they allow the kineticist to drastically change the effects of his or her blasts. This has no burn cost, no maximum duration, and there's nothing preventing you from having more than one except the action economy. level 1 You use caster level instead of your CMB (CMB normally includes a size modifier), and add an ability modifier on top of that. You use your class level and Constitution instead of your 2/3 BAB and your Strength, and the Blast is treated as a Huge creature, making your total CMB very impressive. Your kinetic blast can drain your foes’ vitality to replenish your own. If you are using mod version prior to 1.57 (or no mod at all) and have characters who are polymorphed, wait till polymorph effect expires. The rules for holding your breath are too generous, and you'll spend minutes chasing enemies around trying to maintain line of effect. You can select an infusion or a non-infusion wild talent, but not a blast or defense wild talent. Allowing you to alter the AOE means that you can select the size you need to hit as many foes and as few allies as possible. If you go for physical, you'll do more damage, but you'll face damage reduction which you may be unable to bypass since "magic" weapons don't bypass things like DR/adamantine, and you need to make regular ranged attacks instead of ranged touch attacks. Element(s) earth; Type form infusion; Level 5; Burn 3Associated Blasts earth Saving Throw none. Your kinetic blast causes undead creatures to flee in terror. The wall appears within 30 feet and can be either up to 10 feet high and up to 120 feet long or up to 20 feet high and up to 60 feet long. If the target fails its Fortitude save, it takes 1d6 points of damage per round for 10 rounds as plants and fungi grow out of its body. This can clear whole encounters, not to mention cities. Blade Rush. You create a growing singularity. If your attack hits a target but fails to deal physical damage to that target, the spike fails to penetrate and the infused blast doesn’t continue. Kinetic Cover: This does not appear to have a duration, and does not appear to end if you use it again. Flame Jet, Greater: If you can't get wings of air, this is a close second. This functions as telekinetic blast, except you maintain an elastic strand of aether attached to the object you throw. You want a diverse set of talents to handle a variety of challenges, but you also want enough talents to keep your blasts useful and interesting. Plasma Blast (Sp): Half bludgeoning, half fire. Searing Flesh (Su): Kineticists usually do not do well in melee, and this is only useful if you're getting hit or grappling. If you can get over the hurdles it takes to bring this online, it's absolutely amazing. Wall: AOE, area control, and you can add in Substance Infusions to make the effect really scary. Telekinetic Invisibility: In combat you still get all of the benefits of Invisibility, though it's easier to locate your position. There are a lot of options here, so get creative. Foes that take damage from your infused blast also take 1 temporary negative level. RPGBOT uses the color coding scheme which has become common among Pathfinder build handbooks. Icewalker: Too situational, unless you start making lots of wet or icy surfaces on your own using Slick, or your campaign takes place in frozen climates. The ability to see through smoke will also be useful if you buy an Eversmoking Bottle, granting you a constant tactical advantage as long as you keep the bottle unstoppered. Any time a creature enters the cloud, it takes half the normal amount of damage from your blast, as do creatures that end their turns in the cloud. It's basically a free animated heavy shield with no armor check penalty. Element(s) air; Type substance infusion; Level 3; Burn 2Associated Blasts electric, charged water, thunderstorm Saving Throw Will negates. You can reduce the blast’s damage by half to increase the DC of this save by 2. This infusion is a mind-affecting effect. Kineticists can use one Form Infusion and one Substance Infusion at any time. I suggest Use Magic Device or a Knowledge Skill unless you picked up some class skills from outside the class. I support a limited subset of Pathfinder's rules content. Regular ranged attack. Throw it up to prevent enemies from getting an attack of opportuntiy on a retreating ally. | The Modern Path SRD You can have only a single mobile blast in existence at a time. This can be very powerful if you're clever. Your kinetic blast shines brightly, making it harder for your foes to see. If you would like help with Pathfinder player options not covered here, please email me and I am happy to provide additional assistance. Earth Glide: Flight is the best movement type, but it has the annoying issue of being blocked by solid objects like the ground. In combat you'll likely reserve this for occasional use against spellcasters and their allies, but in those cases it's pretty fantastic. This infusion functions as entangling infusion, except it entangles and immobilizes a foe by increasing its weight, rather than surrounding it in elemental matter. | Swords and Wizardry SRD Element void; Type form infusion; Level 4; Burn 3Associated Blasts: gravity, negative, voidSaving Throw: Reflex half. Your choices of blasts are extremely limited. At the -10 degree temperature cap for Cold Snap, water freezes very quickly. Here's the compromise. Use Gather Power to offset the Burn cost and wear your foes down from afar. | d20 Anime SRD Element wood; Type substance infusion; Level 7; Burn 3Prerequisite(s) toxic infusionAssociated Blasts: autumn, spring, summer, verdant, winter, woodSaving Throw: Fortitude negates. Unraveling Infusion: A weird way to add utility to your blast. | d20PFSRD You throw a volatile sphere of solid matter that shatters into countless shards. Deadly Earth: A decent AOE, good range, and it causes difficult terrain. Element(s) air, fire, or water; Type form infusion; Level 3; Burn 2Associated Blasts air, blizzard, blue flame, charged water, fire, lightning, magma, mud, plasma, sandstorm, steam, thunderstorm, waterSaving Throw Reflex half. If the blast is already grappling an opponent, it receives a +5 bonus on its combat maneuver check to maintain the grapple, as normal. The blast only grapples opponents; it can’t perform other functions of grapple maneuvers such as pinning or moving the opponent. Burning Infusion: An excellent boost to your damage output, especially at low levels, setting a creature on fire can be a death sentence. Functionally identical to Magma Blast. One of your allies can surely manage to deal 1 point of damage to finish off your target. The way I read it, you only need to have one square of the wall's area within the 30 ft. range. Element universal; Type substance infusion; Level 2; Burn see belowPrerequisites ki pool, kinetic fistAssociated Blasts anySaving Throw Fortitude partial. The ability to walk in the air is functionally flight. Treat each square of the path of your ranged attack kinetic blast, the target square of your melee attack kinetic blast, or the area of your area of effect kinetic blast as the center of a continual flame effect that lasts until the end of your next turn. Element(s) fire or wood; Type substance infusion; Level 3; Burn 2Prerequisites foxfire or positive blastAssociated Blasts blue flame, fire, positiveSaving Throw Will partial. Being able to offload the Burn cost onto your allies also means that you can continue to use this without cutting into your own daily resources. Explosion: No frills, no complications. Magma Blast (Sp): Half bludgeoning, half fire. Be sure to leave space for 2 points of Burn to use this in a pinch. Element(s) universal; Type form infusion; Level 2; Burn 2 Prerequisites kinetic blade Associated Blasts any Saving Throw none. If it does work on magical fire, you can use to reshape things like Wall of Fire or blasts which use the Wall Infusion. Your bonus on this check is equal to 2 + your kineticist level + your Constitution modifier (treat the blast as a Huge creature). At 7th level you get access to composite blasts, which double your damage dice (and the +x bonus for physical blasts). Persistent Fly with no Burn cost. Element universal; Type substance infusion; Level 7; Burn 4, Associated Blast(s): any simpleSaving Throw Will negates. If you need horizontal movement, you can run. Trail of Flames: Wall of Fire is a fine deterrent, but the 1-round duration won't get you much. Element(s) universal; Type form infusion; Level 2; Burn 2Associated Blasts anySaving Throw none. By using infusions along with her kinetic blasts, a kineticist can alter her kinetic blasts to suit her needs. Each additional attack originates from the previous target, which could alter cover and other conditions. If you have the kinetic whip infusion, you can manifest a kinetic whip instead of a kinetic blade at the end of your movement by increasing the burn cost of this infusion by 1. Walk through walls, spy on enemies, look inside chests. You can use this form infusion as part of an attack action, a charge action, or a full-attack action to add damage to each of your natural attacks and unarmed strikes until the beginning of your next turn. Unfortunately, I think the intent is that it only works on natural fires. The blade vanishes instantly after the whirlwind. However, if you spend a point of Burn this becomes a save-or-suck effect. This infusion is a disease effect. All other creatures and objects within a 20-foot burst take half the normal amount of damage and can attempt a Reflex save to reduce that damage by half again. Adding Fragmentation's attack mechanic introduces an additional point of failure and reduces the potential damage you could deal. Any creature reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by the blast is disintegrated, as the spell disintegrate. The saving throw DC is Dexterity-based. If you can force enemies to remain in the area, you can brings foes down very quickly. Element universal; Type substance infusion; Level 3; Burn 2Prerequisites brawlerâs flurry or flurry of blows class feature, kinetic fistAssociated Blasts anySaving Throw none. The additional damage is of the same type as the infused blast’s damage. You only get one of these most of the time, and it's a crucial defense on top of your armor class. If you later gain a level in the kineticist class, you can immediately exchange this basic utility wild talent for a level 1 utility wild talent for which you qualify unless you possess a wild talent the requires the basic utility you wish to replace. Even when you get the 15th-level advancement, the Burn cost may still be too high to justify using this frequently. You get a talent at every even numbered class level, so expect to have one talent of each spell level, plus your "basic" utility talent(s). This breakdown follows the format of the class description for easy reference. There is one omission: the Wood element. Even if a telekineticist uses this power on a magic weapon or another unusual object, the attack doesn’t use any of the magic weapon’s bonuses or effects and simply deals the telekineticist’s blast damage. Your telekinetic blast can throw a Large or smaller creature instead of an unattended object; you can increase the burn cost by 1 to affect a creature of a larger size. Attempt a ranged attack roll against a target within 120 feet. 120 degrees is miserable for extended periods of time, but for the duration of a fight it's not going to matter much. Ice Sculptor: Unless your campaign takes place in cold climates or you do some shenanigans, this may be hard to bring into play. Large size makes you a bigger target and gives you an attack penalty. This won't do anything until 3rd level, unfortunately. The ground roils and buckles beneath the affected area. Make a single attack roll against each creature or object in a 30-foot line, starting with the closest target. Thunderstorm Blast (Sp): Half bludgeoning, half electricity. Element(s) universal; Type form infusion; Level 3; Burn 2Prerequisite(s) kinetic bladeAssociated Blasts anySaving Throw none. Unfortunately, it's still a regular ranged attack. Earth Blast (Sp): You can choose among any of the three physical damage types, allowing you to bypass many forms of damage reduction with ease. If you select flying kick, the distance is equal to your elemental overflow bonus on attack rolls à 10 feet. Fire Sculptor: If this doesn't work on magical fire, it's garbage. Render a mountain into neat blocks. Regular ranged attack. If your blast hits (or the enemy fails its saving throw against a blast without an attack roll), you can activate the void healer utility wild talent on yourself by accepting its burn cost; you don’t need to take an action to do so. No more casting light on your hat unless you enjoy the smell of burning hair. Celerity: Haste is one of the best buffs in the game, and if you don't want to take the Burn you can still use this to help your allies in fights where your blasts aren't effective. A creature can remove the revealing flames early by taking a full-round action to extinguish them. All creatures and objects within a 20-foot-radius burst centered on you take half your blast’s normal amount of damage. Use this to trap an enemy, lift them as high into the air as you can manage, and drop them to their death. The blade or whip vanishes instantly after the rush. I know I never thought I’d be going around with fire coming out of my hands, hearing the voice of nature telling me what needed to be done to save the world. Blastâ injury; save Fort; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d2 damage to the chosen ability score; cure 2 consecutive saves. Element void; Type substance infusion; Level 1; Burn 1Associated Blasts: gravity, voidSaving Throw: none. You release your power in a diffuse cloud. 60 ft. range is enough to keep you relatively safe from enemies at no Burn cost. Until you pick up Supercharge or Composite Specialization, there's no good way to get around this Burn cost without pointlessly wasting turns on Gather Power, so your Composite Blasts represent more of an occasional spike in damage output and less of a spammable option than your Basic Blasts. Almost nothing bypasses it except Iron Golems and manufactured weapons, so it should work nearly any time you're attacked. Functionally identical to Charged Water Blast. The Burn cost is low enough that with Infusion Specialization 1 and Gather Power you can use this every round at no Burn cost. You can use this infusion only while also using the kinetic fist form infusion. Aerial Evasion: Spend a point of Burn to get Evasion for the day. The plants in your blast are mildly toxic. Unfortunately, it requires that the target have the subtype of your energy damage, which means that many creatures with resistances, including those with resistances from spells, won't be affected. By the time you can pick it up, you have Infusion Specialization 2 so the Burn cost is negligible, allowing you to make full attacks with two attacks at no Burn cost. Even if they only fail the first save, they're at 0 hit points. Grappling Infusion: This is fantastic, though very difficult to use. An energy blast infused with spindle deals its normal damage to each target, while a physical blast infused with spindle deals half its normal damage to each target. | Starjammer SRD Negative levels from this infusion fade after 24 hours and never become permanent. | 3.5e SRD Half cold, half piercing. However, it's also extra effective against plants and it affects wooden objects easily. The description of the effect doesn't say that the wall can change direction, so I would assume that it can't. Telekinetic Globe: The sphere is really small, unfortunately, but it can still be useful. However, with 2/3 BAB this will take quite a while to get additional attacks. All creatures and objects in a 30-foot cone take half your normal amount of blast damage. You can use your telekinetic blast to make attack rolls against a number of targets equal to your kineticist level within 120 feet, but no two targets can be more than 30 feet apart. Bowling Infusion: Tripping an enemy can be very useful if you have melee allies, but you're bad at it. Basic Aerokinesis: Both options are very situational, though I admittedly love the idea of having your hair constantly blowing in the wind despite a complete lack of actual wind. Recent Changes At the end of that time, the target is exposed to the pulsing puffs disease. Enveloping Winds (Su): Once you pick up Wings of Air this becomes very useful. When using a wood kinetic blasts against a creature infected by this infusion, you gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls, to saving throw DCs, and on caster level checks to overcome spell resistance. Cyclone: Half damage, and you need to be really close to multiple enemies for this to be appealing. Spark of Life: All of the best parts of Aether Puppet, but you don't need to worry about finding an object to animate. Grappling the target would also allow you to plant Mobile Blast on top of them for easy damage. The foe can remove this condition as a standard action with a successful Escape Artist or Strength check (with the same DC as for saves against your kinetic blast) or by dealing an amount of damage to the entangling matter equal to double your kineticist level (the matter has hardness 0). Whenever a blast with this infusion deals damage to a foe, that foe becomes entangled for 1 minute. Flame Shield: This is only tempting if you're built for melee, and even then it still carries all of the problems of Searing Flesh. Aerial Adaptation: Altitude sickness almost never comes up in a campaign, but electricity resistance is nice. Unlike most reach weapons, the kinetic whip can also attack nearby creatures. Instead of a single kinetic blast, you shoot two kinetic blasts at targets within 120 feet that each deal damage as if your kineticist level were 1st (effects or abilities that increase your kinetic blast’s damage don’t apply). Tremorsense: One of the Kineticist's only ways to get around invisibility. This allows you to replicate a 2nd-level spell as a 1st-level spell-like ability, which is weird, but not especially interesting. You can center the explosion anywhere within 120 feet of you, and you can choose the radius of the spread to be 5, 10, 15, or 20 feet. This infusion costs double for kineticists of an alignment other than neutral, and chaotic evil, chaotic good, lawful evil, and lawful good kineticists are … You can use this infusion only while also using the kinetic fist form infusion. If you hit, the target takes your kinetic blast damage with no saving throw. Draining infusion ignores any damage reduction, resistances, and immunities the creature might possess. Element(s) water; Type substance infusion; Level 1; Burn 1Associated Blasts charged water, waterSaving Throw none. Your kinetic blast can strike any target within 120 feet. Air's Leap: Potions of Jump cost 50gp and provide a much better bonus. Regular ranged attack. From the Ashes: This will absolutely save your life. Element(s) water; Type substance infusion; Level 8; Burn 4Prerequisites extended rangeAssociated Blasts charged water, waterSaving Throw Reflex partial. Wild Talents are more like at-will spells, and have a huge range of effects. Brilliant Infusion: Extremely situational, and the Burn cost is ridiculous. Regular ranged attack. It lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Constitution modifier or until you use the cloud infusion again. You gain a +1 enhancement bonus on your attack roll with the blast and your caster level check to overcome spell resistance. Element(s) aether; Type form infusion; Level 8; Burn 4Prerequisite(s) extended rangeAssociated Blasts telekinesisSaving Throw none. If you are using the pushing substance infusion, the maximum distance of the push increases by 5 feet for each time the target was hit beyond the first. | PF2 SRD. On your next turn, the singularity deals damage in a 10-foot-radius burst, and on your turn after that, it deals damage in a 15-foot-radius burst.
