Pyromaniac gnome rules question


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

The description of the alternate gnome racial feature, "pyromaniac", states that the +1 effective level bonus (for the strength of powers, not access to powers) applies to fire descriptor spells, Fire domain powers, the fire elemental bloodline, revelations of the oracle flame mystery, and alchemist bombs that deal fire damage.

Would it also apply to the Fire Elementalist wizard's powers? It does not say so specifically, but it seems to follow the same theme and I'm wondering if it was simply an accidental omission.

I am certain that it was a simple mistake in that both these and the elementalist were being written at the same time by different authors. I remember seeing this question before and a red dinosaur chimed in to this effect. I believe it will included in the official errata whenever it ends up coming out.

Same question for Fire Kinetecists.

Same answer?

Thanks

I'd ask the GM if he'd allow it or not, as for RAW, no it doesn't (which also means it won't work for PFS either)

So there's no real advantage to making a pyro-kinetecist Lava-Gnome for PFS?


correct, it doesn't say it does anything for kinetecists so it doesn't.

Gnomes make great kineticists in general thanks to the small size and Con boost, but they don't get any bonuses in the fire element.
