Page 23 Basic Leshykinesis - Is this a Supernatural ability that changes the way basic phytokinesis works? or does it change basic phytokinesis into a Supernatural ability from a Spell-like ability?

Second What is your dex while mobile in tree shape? Is it still 0 since you are in tree shape? or does it return to normal because you have regained the ability to move?

Ok I think I get the idea of where the standard action part is coming in since Basic Phytokinesis is mentioned. Which adds more questions is that is the way it works.

1)What is your dex during the movement? For example if you provoke an AoO? Or are making a stealth role
2)If a standard action is required for every use of this power, then what is the point of the second line? If you use your standard action to activate Phytokenisis then you can't use your standard to fire. Gathering power(normally a move)is pointless because even if you justified it as part of the same action to use basic phytokenisis then you have already used your standard action and cannot fire off a blast


But Leshykinesis is listed as a Supernatural Ability

Basic Leshykinesis (Su): A vine leshy leshykineticist can use her basic phytokinesis to move while in her alternate vine form, with a base speed of 10 feet and a climb speed of 10 feet. The vine counts as a prehensile appendage for the purpose of aiming kinetic blasts and gathering power. At the GM’s discretion, this ability might apply to leshykineticists of other leshy varieties as long as their alternate forms aren’t rooted to the ground (and even then, they might be able to use something like a branch to aim kinetic blasts). This alters basic phytokinesis.


Except Basic Leshykinesis doesn't take an action. It actually lets them take the actions to gather power and use their blasts in tree form.

So a Leshys alternate form functions as Tree Shape meaning they have a dex of 0 and 0 movement.

However Basic Leshykinesis from UW page 23 reads: A vine leshy leshykineticist can use her basic phytokinesis to move while in her alternate vine form, with a base speed of 10 feet and a climb speed of
10 feet.

My question is since they can now move in this form what happens to their dex?
