Will this mean a lot of holdover mechanics will be dropped, like Wizards not being trained in all simple weapons, or Rogues not being trained in all Martial weapons, or combining armors into just two categories of Light and Heavy (which the numbers kind of favor anyway)?

Alignment has me feeling conflicted, since I think PF does it really well and has built its lore in a way to make the different sides of the alignment spectrum both usable and debatable, something you really want in a moral system. Narakaas and that other psychopomp usher getting into debates over intent vs action is really interesting for the setting. It does what Pathfinder does best; uncertainty and mystery.

Let's say I play a race that never sleeps and playing a kineticist with burn. If I never sleep, I keep the burn, then my bonuses become permanent, like the size bonuses of elemental overflow. Is there something I missed?

I can tell you it's not going to be very effective and you're better off just pulling out a ranged weapon.

This is using the "Screw logic! It's awesome!" line of thinking.

Focused Kineticist:
Element Training (Su):
This functions as Expanded Element but she can only select her primary element. In addition, at 7th level, the kineticist's use of her element grows. This takes on one of two forms. The first option is that the total burn cost of using a kinetic blast or utility wild talents decreases by 1. For example, an aerokineticist using Celerity can increase the duration to 1 round per level for 0 burn. This reduction in cost is before Infusion Specialization. It cannot reduce the cost of Kinetic Healer or reduce a composite blast below 2 burn. If a kineticist uses a wild talent as part of activating a kinetic blast, she can only reduce the burn cost of the wild talent or the kinetic blast.

The second option is imitating another element. The kineticist selects an element besides her own. Once chosen, it cannot be changed. She learns you use her own element to imitate the powers of that element. She gains access to her selected element's wild talents and infusions, and can take them as she would any wild talent or infusion of her primary element. She does not gain any simple or composite blasts of her imitated element, except a kineticist with aether as her primary element gains a physical simple blast of her imitated element. This is done with aether strands and not the element that the simple blast is associated with. Wild talents and infusions are also done by your primary element. Any damage they would create changes to match the damage type of one of your simple blasts.

At level 15, the pure kineticist can imitate another element, increase the burn reduction of Element Training to 2, or she can gain the other form of Element Training she didn't choose before. This ability replaces Expanded Element.

Element Mastery (Su):
At 20th level, a Pure Kineticist is unparalleled in the use of her element. By accepting 1 point of burn as a standard action, she can change any of her wild talents into any other wild talent of the same category except for kinetic blasts. She ignores elemental requirements or restrictions (but not any other requirements or restrictions). These are all done with her primary element and follow the same restrictions as Elemental Training except she can use the wild talents of any element. If she is changing a wild talent to one associated with an element she can imitate, the change costs 0 burn.

If a kineticist had increased her Element Training burn reduction to 2, this ability instead increases it to 3.

This is an archetype I made for those wanting to focus on a single element. I'm looking for constructive feedback and any thoughts on it.

So, I'm making a PC race for a campaign. The idea is that it is an outsider (native) or monstrous humanoid from the Plane of Air that is composed of lightning in essence. It is immune to electricity and when electric damage is dealt to them (regardless that it didn't hurt), they get fast healing 2 for a round like the RP trait "storm in the blood" but no limit. To balance, they cannot be healed by positive energy since they are made of physical lightning and weren't composed from the Positive Energy Plane. Yes, I'm playing an aerokineticist.

So, what is positive energy, how does it affect creatures, and when doesn't it affect creatures? All that jazz. I'm curious if that concept sounds legit or not. Are elementals affected?

Also, consider this.

Hmm, random thoughts for non-weapon items someone with Profession (soldier) might use with this trait;

Whetstone (crack!), helmet (bong!), cooking pot (clang!), rations (ow! that hardtack is *hard*), waterskin/canteen (florb/clunk!), scabbard (whap!), baldric/weapon belt (smack!), quiver or backpack (thud!)...

Don't forget using any type of ammunition like big rocks, bullets, crossbow bolts, and arrows.

If I am wearing gloves, can I use those as an improvised weapon and punch?

If I have a str-based character with 10 Dex and full bab, mixing Surprise Weapon and Rough And Ready gives me +3 to attack with flavorful ranged throwing weapons that no one sees coming.

"We took away his weapons, boss."

"Good, and his cooking supplies?"

"We... didn't..."

"Take Cover!!!"

Profession: SWAT Officer?

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Armada Of The Damned
Reminds me of this cancelled game that had a lot of potential.

Comedian: consider mixing this with dirty trick, "I use my flower to shoot water and blind them."

~It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark~
~Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart~
~You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it~
~You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,~
~You're paralyzed~

Except my Nycar familiar is immune to being paralyzed.

But what happens when he is below -Con? He has Regeneration 1 (Cold Iron), Ferocity, and the Diehard feat. Is he awake and does he heal every round or does his bleeding tie with Regeneration?

I fought with a GM on this and it ended with the Nycar surviving but unconscious.

Can I apply GM chronicles to a dead character?

It's a bigger question than just this spell, of course. If I am trying to cast a spell with an expensive material component, and that spell takes, say, 10 minutes to cast, and I'm interrupted during the first round of casting, can I try again with the same material components?
Nope, with the interruption of casting, the components created by blood money disappear so you've lost the spell you've tried to cast, the components you've conjured to cast it, and you're left with the strength damage you've already taken.

Actually, that's still under debate.
