Is there any way to get the metahealer ability (kinetic chirurgeon kineticist archetype) other than the archetype?
Question is in regards to getting the enhanced effect of the new talents in the Healer Handbook

Very unlikely that'll ever happen in official Paizo stuff.
Can Ride the Blast be used underwater?
Also how well would Greater Eyes of the Void underwater?
Yes, but as for how far your kinetic blast will travel underwater, that's another story.
And it would work as well as in any other dark location. There aren't technically any rules for getting salt water in your eyes, so you should be good. You'd still be subject to the normal vision penalties, though.
Does anybody know where the kinetic knight archetype is from, I can't seem to find it?

I think its from a new book that is going to be released in a couple of weeks. Forgot what its called though.

I think it is Psychic Anthology. During one of the Twitch streams they did recently, Mark Seifter ran Yoon the Iconic kineticist but it was with an unknown archetype. That archetype is suppose to come out in Psychic Anthology
Edit: after going back to the product page and reading it's comments it is that product.

Thanks
I see the guide also references the aether architect talent, is it supposed to be from the upcoming anthology book as well?
Anyone have ideas for a Kineticist noob on how to build a Elemental Knight?
I was thinking Dwarven Geokineticist for starters.
Does it make more sense to focus on Energy Blasts (and thus not to invest much in your to hit) or on Physical blasts?
well since the elemental knight isn't out yet and you can't share any mechanical info on the class till at least the books been released, there's most likely not going to be any help for you for about 2 weeks.
To N.Jolly, concerning your guide, i looked at the sample builds, specifically at the fire/fire/Aether...
You took Eruption at 7th level from the expanded element bonus, but, you took Extended range only at 9, even though it's a requirement to take Eruption.
Unless for some reason it's been said somewhere that the Expanded Element free infusion lets you bypass requirements, maybe you'd want to take Extended Range at level 5 and draining infusion at 9? Besides I don't expect to find many enemies with high fire resistance until that point anyway.

OMG. Psychic Anthology has over 50 new kineticist wild talents, including new base and composite blasts! The kinetic blade tree is even deeper now with specialized charge and whirlwind options.
Lots of support for wood and void too! The days of people calling them "weak" are long gone.
Kinetic Knight is essentially a courtly melee-only kineticist specializing in armor and shields. Among other things, they can use shield while gathering power. They also gain the samurai's resolve class feature.
New feats let your kineticist craft magical items (provided they are not spell completion or spell trigger items) or cast elemental themed psychic spells.
Was it every said they couldn't use shields anyway, in an FAQ or something?

You need both hands free to use gather power. Without this archetype, you are basically limited to bucklers.
Omg... must have psychic anthology nowish!

And possibly light shields.

So they basically fixed many of the limiting problems of the kineticist's extra content outside of the initial 5 elements? Nice.
Sounds like there should be a lot of nice things to pick up then.

You would need to restructure of the class to fix the limiting problems. Think of elements as schools of magic.
Kineticist is essentially a caster, when it gets to chose a spell it can only choose from 1 school of magic and that school of magic often only has maybe 2 or even 1 choice per level (no choice then). The kineticist is extremely restrictive.

Lots of things! Totally a must have resource for anyone playing psychic classes.
As this thread is about kineticists though, I'm going to focus on them:
aether - No longer needs to carry a thousand small items that get destroyed in the blasts. A new wild talent lets you boomerang a single item as many times as you want, preventing it from taking damage. New area healing options akin to channel energy
air - now have multiple avenues for getting gaseous form or cloud shape at will
earth - now has access stone imprisonment, rampart, statue, and stone shield, just to name a few.
fire - now has abilities that mesmerize enemies through fire, or light them up as fairie fire
void - can create temporary and permanent undead, as well as asset control other undead. Lots of new anti-divination abilities too.
water - options to create illusions and breathe water
wood - can now heal ability damage. Tons of positive energy/healing options
Does that pique your interest? :D

Cool stuff! Do want, especially the kinetic blade stuff... I don't suppose Aether got a composite worth anything, did it? AOE healing sounds great, though I don't know if I'd spend a precious wild talent on the boomerang option.
Also, a question I can't find an answer to anywhere about Force Ward: Does its 'miss' feature work against attacks that do no physical damage but require a hit?
If an attack deals less damage than you still have as temporary hit points from force ward, it still reduces those temporary hit points but otherwise counts as a miss for the purpose of abilities that trigger on a hit or a miss.As an example, if a Wight attacks an aether kineticist and its 1d4+1 damage doesn't drop the Force Ward, then the aether doesn't take the negative level (in my mind a very straight forward example that should be true). What about a Shadow? It doesn't do any damage at all, so if the Force Ward still has > 0 temporary hitpoints, does the shadow not do any strength damage? What about ray spells and touch spells - are they "attacks"? Ray of Enfeeblement for example would do nothing if the ward has any points left.
If an "attack" is anything that requires an attack roll, then Force Ward shields against some really nasty stuff!
It's a question that might be worth FAQ'ing.
As a GM, I'd probably rule that a Shadow can't get through a Force Ward (since it's a force effect, and very few things should ignore force effects).
But I could easily see how any attack that doesn't deal damage directly to hp at all should be able to bypass the Force Ward.

.Does Force Ward provide complete protection against Shadows ?It doesn't do hp damage, so nope. However, it's fantastic against wraiths, since wraiths do hp damage that is piddling and small with a horrific kicker effect.

Unfortunately, yes, but I'll have to wait for it to show up on D20/Archives, as I won't buy Paizo anymore.
Seeing some typos in my previous post this morning.
Meant to say:
Earth kineticists now have access to imprisonment, not "stone imprisonment."
Void kineticists can "assert" control over undead.
Also in addendum, wood now has a dedicated wood/wood composite blast and associated options.
Aether composite still sucks I think.
I agree that aether composite still sucks but the element does have the best utility abilities.
Question about Fire's Fury, wich is correct?
A)You take burn and add the extra damage bonus related to your elemental overflow and how much burn you have taken.
B)You add the bonus to damage based on your elemental overflow bonus you can have regardless if you have taken burn.
You still add the bonus damage regardless if you have taken Burn.
Would a mythic kineticist be able to use the Archmage - Mage Strike to make an attack with Kinetic Blade?
Can Amazing Initiative be used for kinetic blasts and other talents since they aren't spells?
I agree that aether composite still sucks but the element does have the best utility abilities.
It basically only hurts from levels 11 to 15, since you won't be regularly using composites before you have supercharge. Your nova potential is lower as aether, but you have other stuff to spend burn on and you can empower for 1.5x damage without taking burn every round which isn't a huge downgrade from the 2x damage of a regular composite.
Level 15, when you get a real composite, is a big boost for the telekineticist though.

Hey everyone, I've updated my Wild Talent Sorter tool from my Crazy Character Emporium to incorporate ALL of the new blasts and wild talents from Psychic Anthology.
If you want to see a name list of all of the new stuff, simply filter to show only sources from Psychic Anthology.
Now that I've got it laid out in a spread sheet, I can more accurately tell you that Pyschic Anthology offers up a total of 74 new blasts and wild talents for the kineticist.
Here's some additional break down of the new content:
1 - simple blast
2 - composite blasts
6 - substance infusions
7 - form infusions
58 - utility wild talents
74 - TOTAL
4 - universal
8 - aether
8 - water
9 - air
9 - earth
10 - fire
14 - wood
22 - void
Not counting content from adventure paths, modules, or third party sources, kineticists now have access to a grand total of 269 blasts and wild talents.
Though I'm not willing to share more than this prior to the book's release, this should be enough to start planning out your character builds.
Mark Seifter, shouldn't Maelstrom be a form infusion and not a substance infusion?
As is, I have no idea how you might be able to combine it with other form infusions.
Are Caligni an associated race for the Void element? What is associated with Wood?
I have to say, whatever eventual race ends up with aether affinity might quickly become my favorite Pathfinder race.
I mean, what would that look like?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I'm surprised fetchlings and/or wayangs don't have void affinity.
Fetchlings are linked more to darkness than negative energy or gravity, so they were never really in contention. Wayang might have been a better call than caligni, in retrospect, given their thirst for dissolution. We wanted to keep the number of officially-sanctioned races limited, though.
If I were doing it again, I might expand void to wayang and wood to elves. (And possibly an omni-elemental effect for suli.)
Off the top of my head, astomoi and lashunta would probably be my picks for aether.
Void is as much about darkness and shadow as it is gravity and negative energy. Still surprised to see some of the shadow races left out, when other shadow races (dark folk) were not.
