I am curious of what you loose for that archetype.
I'm hoping this book tells us how we can free the good elemental lords. Always been bummed about there being no good elemental lords. I mean the lord (actually lady) of good elemental earth in D&D was quite the looker. Woohoo. ;) ^^
But seriously the fact there were no good elemental lords to me felt that there was no balance in the elemental planes. Besides having players take part in the wars between elemental lords would have been cool.
Oh well here's hoping we have an Adventure Path where we actually free the good elemental lords!
You might find this season of Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild interesting.
** spoiler omitted **
Also, Ymeri seems to resent your oogling other elemental lords. She trusts you'll be more respectful of the elemental "pantheon" in the future. This is, of course, my translating her blazing cries to "burn all that fire touches," so perhaps we can just appreciate these demigods for their awesome power and even cooler schemes without goading them over matters of appearance.
Yeah probably best to be safe than sorry....so let's just be careful around Ymeri for the time being.
In a couple more weeks or so and it will be mine.
I look forward to your assessment, Dragon.
Well more then likely several people on this site will get it before me but at least someone will have the pdf by then:)
I wonder how many monster/NPC stats will be in this book.
I will finding out more about this one soon, can't wait.
can anyone who has the book give details about the the elemental purist kineticist archetype?
"the elemental purist kineticist archetype"
SOLD :D ! No seriously, the kineticist is one of my favorite classes, so I was waiting for a single-element archetype for a while now ;)
"Ymeri, Queen of the Inferno and Elemental Lord of Fire!"
Huh... shouldn't it be "Lady of Fire"? If she's a Queen, she can't be a "Lord". That's like saying she's a "King" :P

They lose expand element, omnikinesis, and the 11th & 19th level infusions. Also, they get 'Internal Buffer' as if 5 levels lower (e.g. don't receive it at all until 11th).
In exchange they get two abilities;
Elemental Impossibility - 7th level. Composite blast with expanded element equal to primary. Also gets 'impossible' form or substance infusions not associated with their element at 7th & every 4 levels thereafter. Can enter an 'elemental impossibility' state to apply impossible infusions to kinetic blast.
Elemental Apocalypse - 20th level. Once per day universal form infusion usable with any blast with up to 1 mile range and radius up to 360 feet.
what monsters are in this, beside Ymeri?
And it's not new in Pathfinder either, there are female Empyreal Lords and Demon Lords...it's generally used as a gender neutral term.
Well, there were only "Lords" in B4; Nocticula got statted later in "Wrath of the Righteous", and there were both "Lords" and "Ladies" in B4; considering that the male term is always used to define a gender mixed group, it could be the reason.
Still... is there any "issue" about having Demon, Empyreal and/or Elemental "Lords" and "Ladies"? I hardly see a problem with this. I mean, it isn't discrimatory... or sexist... to call a royal female noble a "lady".
Hey, if we can have powerful queens and matriarchal tribal societies, I don't see a problem having a Demon Lady, Empyreal Lady or Elemental Lady, especially if the creative team refers her as "she".
Anyway, back on topic, that's just something that caught my eye :P

They also statted upJessicaYmeri. Nice.
Jessica keeps adding "Restore me to my true, immortal form" to the product schedule, and we keep catching her in the act and removing it. One day she's going to bypass our usual safeguards, though.
RADIOACTIVE BARBARIANS. THAT IS ALL.
Anything else I should look forward to Rysky? I mean besides JessicaYmeria and the elementalist thingie?

Look, if the most powerful fire elemental in existence decides that she wants to be called a Lord, you damn well better call her a lord! I mean, unless you like your flesh charbroiled. Maybe you do, I don't know.

I think the purist has a lot of promise...I know I would use it. I like keeping with one element anyway (usually Earth or Water).

Sounds like a surprising amount of player options. On that front, does Ymeri (or the others) get deific obediences?
How's the fluff?
It is shame that genies do not have the elemental subtype because it would help with there lack of DR and other defenses.
We actually houseruled Genies as elementals. That and we made them have the abilities of a kineticist of their level -2 that way they can be similar to Rahkshasas I am looking forward to this book, as back in my 3.5 days my first adventure was Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. Lots of elemental themes in that module.
I haven't seen any deific obediences, but I haven't read the whole book yet and with work I might not have a chance till later.
Oliver, when you mean their level do you mean there HD or CR?

It has info on the lost good elemental lords and their various prisons (previously hinted at in the Moaning Diamond writeup). Lots of details on the planes and various locations therein that I haven't had time to go through yet. Looks like a fairly solid 'gazeteer' overall.
Feats ?

Nighttree,
I don't think we got any feats in this book.
Does purist mean you can take explosion and use it with say metal, or does the lime about energy vs physical cover that?

I think that covers it, because otherwise there's not much that just says "energy blasts only". Disintegrating Infusion is another good energy only choice, allowing you to get it on a non-composite blast.
