I leave the dungeon much like I leave my enemies: in pieces!Yesterday I GMed for a similar Kineticist. She was a bit belligerent (she was an ex-convict who joined the Society as her community service, so her alignment was a bit... unusual), so as they entered an ancient temple she asked, "The mission briefing didn't say anything about preserving the place, right?" and proceeded to rip out every rusted-shut door in the complex. In the final fight, she collapsed a bridge to throw the rubble at the enemies.
I could've done that, but my Day Job is Craft (weapons). Sure, a kineticist generally has higher Wisdom than Intelligence. But it was for the sake of roleplaying! Those crossbows weren't gonna make themselves, were they? I can't get them in bulk, they don't trust me.
Some quotes from my telekineticist's sessions:"Okay, as my move action, I'll draw my crossbow from my Handy Haversack. Then I'll use a standard to throw it at that zombie. DR/Slashing, right?"
"These guys look like muggers. I'd like to avoid a fight if possible. I'll pull out my crossbow and ready an action, pretending to be scared, stammering, 'S-stay back! I know how to use this thing!' Yeah, didn't think it would work. Eat crossbow!"
"Hmm, this looks like it'll require the big guns. I'll pull and throw my longbow. Piercing."
"So, this guy's soul is also an elemental gem? If I hit someone with it, it'll break and bring in an elemental! Action economy! What you're saying doesn't sound like praise of my incredible idea. Wait, his soul would be gone forever? An evil act? Then why's it on the chronicle sheet?!"
"Phew, we killed the shark. Does its corpse weigh less than 4 tons? Cool, then I'll throw it at the other shark."
