Kineticists who focus on flesh and bone are known as fleshshapers. They are capable of augmenting themselves and brutally assaulting their foes with portions of themselves and others.
Class Skills: A fleshshaper adds Knowledge (arcana) to her list of class skills. For the purpose of skilled kineticist, a fleshshaper may treat heal and intimidate as skills added.
Wild Talents: 1st- altitude acclimation, basic fleshshaping, cold adaptation, heat adaptation, kinetic healer, pushing; 2nd- bowling infusion, climbing extremities, flesh rip, lesser fleshshaping; 3rd- bone-pierced flesh, countless eyes, fleshshaped tremorsense, foe throw, hurl self, impale; 4th- horrific infusion; 5th- control corpse, greater hurl self, violent transformation; 6th- disintegrating infusion, suffocate; 7th- fragmentation, greater fleshshaping; 8th- true fleshshaping.
Special: Universal effects that typically effect creatures of an element subtype can effect creatures composed of flesh instead, given there is no flesh subtype.

Among the brews i've created on Giant on the Playground, I am setting out to bring over several of my creations periodically to get input from this pool of people. Rather than bringing over the whole, dealing with a ton of formatting issues, I've decided just to give you a taste above, and for all the Wild Talents associated with it, you'll have to click the following link.
Kineticist Wild Talents: Flesh.
There may be need for fine tuning, but that is what feedback is for. I alone am not the best judge for balance.
Took only a quick glance, but I feel like flesh wrack probably should've been the other blast they get, flavored as crushing their insides. Casting off bits of your own body seems like it should hurt you more than, well, not hurting you.
Looks good to me other than that though.

First off, ew.
Secondly, I was curious how the Defense Wild Talent would interact with Elemental Overflow, since you already get fortification equal to 5% x burn (starting at 6th). Would only the highest take into account or stack?
Granted, by the time you get that, your defense talent is already at 30%, so maybe the answer is obvious, but I was just curious :)

I considered it when creating them. Ultimately, my rationale is that it would be easier to manipulate dead flesh and flesh of their own bodies, rather than the flesh of another's body. Additionally, I think throwing a chunk of flesh would be less harmful to someone than trying to rip a chunk of flesh out of them. But regardless, I appreciate the input.

In the case of the Defensive Wild Talent and relating to Elemental Overflow, as it stands fortification doesn't stack, the greater form taking precedence. I had forgotten Elemental Overflow provided it, and I could always change the defensive wild talent, but I think it is suitable as is. Its a way to get to fortification without having to burn yourself, though surely at times (I don't feel like running the numbers, so I don't know) your EO's fortification can exceed your defensive wild talent's fortification.
And yes, being largely a point of this focus, ew is certainly an element of this.. element.
Chaokinetic's Defense says it stacks with Overflow, so there's no reason yours can't.
And what I meant was if you are throwing your flesh at people, you should take damage from it.
It was so weird to click on a link to a homebrew thread about the flesh element, to be directed to another homebrew thread for the flesh element, and then have to follow another link to my own homebrew for the death element (WIP). Linkception :P
In terms of stacking with Overflow, while I do see no reason it can't I just have to ask; Chaokinetic? I'll want to take a look at that before I tweak the defensive talent.
I do see your point, though, i think then bone blast should also cause damage to one's self. As well as the current composite blasts of burning bone, cyst, fossilized, and writhing. We can say that burn covers those though. I'll have to think on it, rational as it is.

Bwaaah.
What do you think of the interactions I created, and the content there as a whole? I enjoy what there is of the death element, and I would love to see the WIP label fall from it.
Chaokinetic is the term for Void(introduced in Occult Origins) users. I don't believe it's anywhere online yet though.
