This is one of several similar scenarios I've designed to explore the capabilities — as you my readers define them — of the kineticist. The basic premise is this: you, a fledgling kineticist, have been asked by Tandy Tanderveil to join three other people in investigating what's been happening to her stores of fish. The three others may be any three of the four pre-generated characters from the beginner box, and you may have a dedicated gate, a dual gate, or a universal gate. In each scenario, you will be asked to make some decisions regarding what abilities you will bring to the party. All party members are first level. The purpose of including the other party members is to see how party composition affects your choices (if it does).
Scenario X:
You have a universal gate. Your companions are Ezren, a human Evoker, Kyra, a human Warpriest of Sarenrae, and Valeros, a human Fighter.
Question 1: Which of the sixteen possible first level impulse feats will you choose? Remember this feat is chosen each day when you do your preparations, and you need not choose the same feat every day.
Question 2: At first, you know little about your task, except that it will start in Tandy's basement. How might your choice of daily impulse feat change as you go deeper underground?
Question 3: You get one other first level feat. Which one? (Remember this need not be an impulse feat). An impulse feat can be associated with any of the four elements.
Question 4: Any comments on this scenario?
