Bloodvine rope is the best thing to tie your victims up with. Getting it to an enemy 500' away that you're pinning could be a little tricky.

That item looks pretty dope, though I was also considering a spiked chain. I may ask my GM about designing a form infusion that allows for grappling by replacing blast damage for weapon damage + con and a CMB of CL+CON+Misc and CMD of CL+CON+DEX+MISC+10. I'd imagine this would work well as a (level 1 or 2?) form infusion as long as it had a maintaince cost of 1 burn/round with the option to gather energy. I think my GM would be okay with this, so long as it's not crazy unbalanced.

A dirty trick build would be quite different. You don't have the feats to do more than one maneuver as a kineticist, don't try to split between two.

What would a dirty trick build look like? I think I picked the most complicated one of them all to build, but telekinetic grappling definitely feels cool. Trip and Bull Rush are on the table too if you have any ideas for those. I kinda like grapple though because it takes an enemy out of the fight and reminds me of phaselocking from borderlands.

So, you are thinking Telekinetic Maneuvers?

I think I have a build, and you might be inspiring me to another.

That's exactly what I'm talking about, yeah. I'd like to know how I could get my grapple bonus as high as possible to be as effective as possible.

Just as the title suggests, I'm looking at building a telekineticist who makes use of the "telekinetic maneuvers" wild talent as their primary combat ability. Essentially, I'd like to lock down enemies from a distance (perhaps even using stealth) and incapacitate them as quickly as possible threw pinning and/or tying up (perhaps with some kind of adamantine chain or other relatively hard to break item). What race/feats/items/other character options can I take to maximize my grappling ability? I'm not attached to single classing the kineticist, but my CMB is directly linked with my spell casting level so any prestige classes or multiclassing must take that into account. I'd also be interested in dirty trick/steal combat maneuvers if that is easier, or in supplementing my grappling build.
