Hi there!
Just a quick question - does anyone have any sort of info regarding the arrival of Kineticist to PF2.0?
I'll soon have enough AP to roll a leshy ancestry character, and I wanted for it to be an earth elementalist, for all intents and purposes. Now, I got some awesome advice from this very forum regarding that, I've reskinned some spells to reflect the geomancing theme, everything is ready for me to actually roll a druid with an eventual monk dedication (narrowly winning over a sorcerer with an elemental bloodline, because druid is practically the same thing, or dangerously close to what I had in mind).
So, now I kinda have my earth elementalist. Sorta. But before totally committing to it, I just wanted to give the whole thing one last ping and to check if I'm actually missing out on any important part of upcoming rumors. Or even facts. :) I'll hold out for a Kineticist if there's anything in the pipeline, but if the community at large is sure that we don't have to hold our breaths, and that nothing's in the works in 2021, than a reskinned druid wreathed in a halo of soil and stone and sand will have to be the next best thing. :)
Thanks in advance!

As a matter of fact, you can get Legendary Kineticists: Second Edition right now, by the marvelous Vanessa Hoskins, author of many official Pathfinder 2E products for Paizo themselves!
You'll find a full 20-level base class but also over 100 class feats for kineticists across 7 elemental specializations, each with their own unique powers and abilities. Create a stalwart geokineticist with unmatched defensive prowess, blast your enemies to ash as a pyrokineticist, streak across the battlefield around as a bolt of living lightning as an electrokineticist, and so much more, including multiclassing options, magic items, and a sample iconic kineticist to show off what this system can do!
You can pick it up at the Legendary Games webstore, DrivethruRPG, and even right here at Paizo!

There's no word on an official one, but Legendary Games made their own and it's pretty good.
Edit: Ninja'd by the source!

You shouldn't hold your breath since they gave the offical nod to a 3PP company to make their own version of it. I highly doubt they would undercut their friends and peers at Legendary Games who they work VERY closely with to the point where they're outsourcing the conversion/update for Kingmaker for Second edition.
The version that they cooked up is actually pretty great too.
EDIT: Ninja'd by the Legendary Mr. Nelson himelf, NICE!
Yeah, that Kineticist is top quality, and very close in feeling to the original

Thank you so much, I had no idea about this!
This looks awesome! If Legendary Kineticists: Second Edition is indeed Pathfinder Society legal, I'll definitely buy it!| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Ah, I missed that this is a society game. I don't believe 3rd party stuff is society legal.
The kineticist is cool, but it miiiight be a little too strong if you ask me.
While it's not the same, I've been having a great time playing my earth sorcerer. Have spells for the big blasts, cantrips for the times you want to conserve, and focus spell blasting for the in between. And there have been a few fights I could stack defensive earth buffs that felt awesome. There are actually a lot of earth themed spells, and the ones I use that aren't too earthy I flavour to be so. Electric spells the skin on my hands turn earthy, then metallic, then start sparking in the span of a second, them bzzzzt! Similarly, a chunk of mineral forms between my hands and liquifies into a mineral acid and gets fired at enemies in an acid arrow... Stuff like that.

Alas, no, nothing outside of actual Paizo publications is PFS-legal (and not even all Paizo stuff). It's a terrific class, but if you are PFS-only then you are stuck waiting for whenever the Golem gets around to it, and on that I have no insider information to offer.

Thank you so much for the reply!
Yeah, I play PFS exclusively, so that's too bad, though I still might buy the book, just as a source of elemental inspiration if nothing else. Thanks again for bringing it to my attention!And Gaulin, thanks for the suggestion! Everybody pretty much nudged me in the Earth Sorcerer direction, but I think Druid will do the job just as well (having access to the same Primal pool) and flavor-wise it's a bit closer to what I had in mind for my character.
