Kineticist Background Question: Most Likely God to Worship?


Advice


Hello everyone!

I was wondering, is there a specific God/Goddess that has Kineticists in its portoflio?

My Character in ROTRL is an Irriseni Ulfen that was helped at a certain point by a Gozreh-worshiping Druid from the Heralds of Summer's Return, so he has decided to follow that faith.

Thank you!

I am unaware of them adding specific gods to kineticists, considering kineticists came so much later then most of the gods. I, as a LOVER of the kineticist, and at least 8 different ones i have played/am playing, I usually use deities based on the element in question. Ymeri for fire, Kelizandri for water, Hshura for air etc.


As Evilserran said, I don't think there are any gods that specifically cater to kineticists. Gozreh is probably the most relevant core deity, given that god's portfolio covers nature and the elements, but any deity with a connection to the kineticist's favored element(s) would be appropriate, assuming their alignments are compatible. I imagine Sarenrae is worshiped by many good pyrokineticists, for example, but evil ones would prefer Ymeri or Asmodeus.

Apart from that, I believe Irori has a number of followers among the psychic classes, due to his focus being on training to perfect the mind and body. Whether or not that would appeal to a kineticist would depend on how you play each individual of that class--are they highly disciplined ascetics, or barely contained forces of nature?


Thank you very much, both of you!

My Calder is NG and worships Gozreh, as I wrote. I found the history of the Irriseni Ulfen simply irresistible and since Irrisen is one of the most likely place to find Hydrokineticists the two things merged.

Your suggestions are all very interesting, Irori would have been a very good choice, since my version of the Kineticist is always one bad day away from a cataclysm...


I am pretty sure most deities' portfolios were completed long before that class existed, so there being a god claiming interest in Kineticists, specifically, is quite unlikely.

Searching AoN for deities concerned with specific elements would be a start. From there, I would look at their individual boons offered for Obedience... even if I was not planning on taking Deific Obedience for that character, seeing the boons offered by different deities may provide insight to which suits the character best. Who am I trying to kid, though, I am always trying to squeeze Deific Obedience into just about every build. Lol.

Most of the elements straight up have corresponding Domains/Subdomains/Areas of Concern... or things directly related. Even Void has a fair amount of support in that regard.

Aether and Telekinesis seems to be where one might have to improvise a little. I could see deities concerned with Alchemy or Magic working for this. Shadows or Dreams could work depending how you view your Aether. Could look at Telekinesis as an extension of Domination [of the inert?]. Forbidden Knowledge or Self-Perfection, maybe?
