<p>assuming yes, how should i run the EarthGlide/Tremorsense?
<br />
—I would allow it basically like sight 60ft for purposes of navigation in Earthglide.
<br />
—creatures above ground would be pinpointed for their respective space.
<br />
—Attacking from below ground would use concealment rules.

—Extending the rules for Incorporeal movement into objects in a smart way. using rules for Cover/readied attacks etc.</p>
<p>casting spells in EarthGlide works because you can breath underground.

Say Empathic Connection...if you wild surge it with at least a +2 Surge you can treat it like a Compelling Voice and take Xd6nonlethal damage...if you wildsurge it with at least a +4 Surge you can treat it like a MindControl and take even more NonLethal...(and don't make the nonlethal damage insignificant.maybe take 1 point of AbilityBurn to your manifesting stat each time you "push" like this) maybe limit this usage to Humanoid targets only.</p>
<p>it could open the wilder to a little more flexibility with their precious few powerknown slots...without reverting to PsychicReformation all the time like i do now...</p>
