Hello everyone,
I was wondering if you could help me. I would like to know if there is any Adventure Path where there is a middle/high level Kineticist enemy NPC.
I have seen tens of character concepts by excellent players over the years, I have seen Yoon's Character sheets, now I would like to see how Paizo builds them as enemies.
Thank you in advance!

I know of one written in PFS 7-13: Captive in Crystal. But it are levels of Kineticist stacked upon a fey creature.
There is also another one in the Villain Codex on page 35 (pyrokineticist 7).

Thank you! I will look into both sources, it is already a great help.
Anyone has anything inside Adventure Paths, please?

I'm not aware of any in APs. Even Strange Aeons (the most "occulty" AP) doesn't have any.
One note on the NPC in Captive in Crystal: it is seriously under-CRed. It is a monster with class levels so determining the total CR is based on what role it fills. The problem is that Paizo never defined the key roles for any of the classes past the CRB. So the author chose to treat them as not matching, essentially giving the CR3 monster four "half-price" kineticist levels. Really, a kineticist should be keyed to the combat role, maybe multiple roles like the barbarian, fighter, and ranger. Which would mean no half-price levels and that would increase the CR by 2. The author also used the heroic stat array, which should have increased it by another 1. It's also a great race to choose for a kineticist (but that doesn't have a listed CR adjustment). So the true total CR of that kineticist should probably be 3 higher than listed.
That's not to say the Captive in Crystal kineticist is an impossibly difficult enemy. It's just that it's quite a bit stronger than a typical "Paizo enemy" of that CR.

Understood, thank you anyway!
