Kineticist (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

Kineticist Power Tables

This is an attempt to organize the kinetic blasts, infusions, and wild talents in a more readable format than the rulebooks.

Kinetic Blasts

All but simple blasts cost burn 2. The word "blast" has been ignored in names.

A kineticist can use all combination blasts he qualifies for. Note there are specific prerequisites that must be fulfilled, not all blasts listed for an element are available.

Expanded Elements

Not elements in the classic sense, these power sets work just as the other elements of the kineticist.

Bibliokinesis

This is a work in progress.

The bibliokinesist focus on paper (or similar writing surfaces such as vellum or papyrus) and the written word in the form of books, tomes, and scrolls. These works contain text from the Akashic Record, but most of it is pure gibberish — random letters and words without meaning. Bibliokinesists strive to retrieve great truths from the Akashic Record, and can do so in a limited fashion at higher levels.

Class Skills A bibliokinesist adds Linguistics and Spellcraft to her list of class skills.

Wild talents

Infusion wild talents are marked with a dagger (†); all other wild talents listed below are utility wild talents. New wild talents from this book are marked *.

1st— basic bibliokinesis*, decipher script*, kinetic cover, paper cuts*, pulling†, pushing†. 2nd— entangling†, paper path*. 3rd— elemental words†*, eruption†, paper wings* (self telekinesis), smoke storm, snake† 4th— cyclone†, paper snare* (telekinetic maneuvers), spray† 5th— paper ride* (greater self telekinesis), 6th— universal unravel†* 7th— 8th— many throw† 9th—

New Simple Blasts

Paper Blast

Element(s) paper; Type simple blast (Sp); Level —; Burn 0

Blast Type: physical; Damage slashing or piercing

You attack a single foe with cutting edges or piercing rolls of paper.

Word Blast

Element(s) paper; Type simple blast (Sp); Level —; Burn 0

Blast Type: physical; Damage non-lethal bludgeoning

You batter a single foe by throwing a book or piece of solidified script at them.

New Infusion Talents

Elemental Words

Element paper; Type substance infusion; Level 3; Burn 2; Associated Blasts paper, word; Saving Throw none

You manifest the meaning of the words of your kinetic blast as elemental energy; air blast, cold blast, earth blast, electric blast, fire blast, water blast, . This changes your kinetic blast into the simple blast selected. You need not know the element of the simple blast you emulate in this way. You cannot use this as a prerequisite for infusions that have the substituted blast as a prerequisite, but you can use this to create combined blasts.

New Utility Wild Talents

Basic Bibliokinesis

Element paper; Type utility (Su); Level 1; Burn 0

As basic telekinesis except that you use paper instead of telekinetic effects.

Decipher Script

Element paper; Type utility (Su); Level 1; Burn 0

As comprehend languages except that it only applies to written text and symbols.

Paper Cuts

Element paper; Type utility (Su); Level 3; Burn 1

You surround yourself with whirling slices of paper. For one minute per kineticist level, creatures adjacent to you when this ability is activated and at the start of your turn take 1d6 points of magical slashing damage.

Paper Path

Element paper; Type utility (Sp); Level 2; Burn 0

You can create horizontal or slanted surface of paper long a 30 ft. line, 5 ft. wide, creating a bridge or ramp. The path does not need to be supported and can go up to 10 ft. up or down over 30 ft. length. It counts as clear terrain and lasts until the end of your next turn. Each square of paper path can support up to 100 lb. per kineticist level, has hit points equal to your kineticist level and is invulnerable to bludgeoning, piercing, and cold damage. You can accept 1 point of burn to increase the duration to 1 round per kineticist level and the length of the line to 30 ft. per level.
