So this is just a little idea I had with combining the kineticicst and gunslinger. I can only seem to find basic telekenisis in his wild talants. Anyway that could work?
It would take a standard action to activate basic telekinesis, but it would work. Probably not quite how you would have hoped though, it is still an SLA.

He would definitely need TK Finesse but it would still be a standard action to reload.

Sorry for the almost 6 year necro but this is the only thread I have seen so far on this, anyway.
My question is, *why?* TK finesse is not a modifier of basic TK, it is a stand alone talent. Itself doesn't describe an action, but the allowance to perform actions at a range of close. This is in line with other utilities that effect talents or actions.
It's also pretty easy to assume that it doesn't take an action itself, since it references slight of hand and disable device. Both of these have their own rules on how long they take, for DD this can be several actions, rounds, or even minutes. If TK finesse required it's own action, you either A wouldn't actually be able to do these things, since you are using your action to maintain it, or B you could accomplish actions in abnormally short times (DD check requires 5 minutes, but TK finesse is a standard actions and says "you can do this thing") as a rough example.
And you wouldn't be able to actually attempt most slight of hand checks, because it would take you 2 rounds (2 standard actions) to attempt.
I think a critical wording here is "you can attempt... Such as checks." Attempting a check would use the action rules of the check, unless otherwise stated, such as on various magical items.
The problem is that the wording for tk finesse was cut too much for space. It’s basically intended to work like basic tk. But the way it’s actually worded makes it sound like it’s always on.
