Pathfinder 2e Kineticist in 7 Minutes or Less

I've never done a class guide before- but hopefully the content won't disappoint you based on my other videos! My goal is not to replace actually reading the class in Rage of Elements, but to supplement it with the theory and background behind the class. So I don't go over any actual feats, just the basics on how the class actually functions.

So now you can have an Avatar: The Last Airbender party! Aang: Kineticist who starts off with air (and maybe water) and gains access to earth and fire at higher levels Katara: Water Kineticist Sokka: Investigator(?) Toph: Earth Kineticist who either starts out with metal as well or learns it at a higher level Zuko: Fire Kineticist

[@Mark73]

Sokka could be either Investigator or Inventor Toph would learn metal later.

[@insipidcrate3815]

I'm pretty sure sokka would just be a rogue with a boomerang, maybe a ranger🤔

[@gabriel1rodrigues2]

[@einkar4219]

sokka can also work as a fighter

[@StarryxNight5]

You can't do a lot of the cool stuff earthbenders and metal benders can do, though. Can't pull a brick from a wall and chuck it, can't bend metal bars apart, can't tear through iron like it's clay The other ones are pretty accurate, though

[@Overdrawn_]

I think you can have your Kinetic Aura on before combat because its an aura not a stance.

[@Leonardo-fv4vu]

Nothing states it can't so yeah

[@nugsnotdrugs7717]

Correct. You can Channel Elements™ outside of combat

[@ssfbob456]

Makes it perfect for planning ambushes.

[@mkmasterthreesixfive]

@@ssfbob456 while it doesnt say anything about having stealth penalties, it would be weird to be sneaking around with a 10ft **fire** aura in a dark dungeon.

[@nugsnotdrugs7717]

Really hope people realize you can have your Aura going 24/7 unless you turn it off manually or you're Knocked Out. Action Economy...

[@thedragonplayertdp6430]

water... earth... fire... air... long ago the four nations lived in harmony... but then everything changed when the fire kineticists attacked

[@Cibershadow2]

Heck yes! Been trying making them on Pathbuilder but was struggling to see how they work in action and really appreciate this

[@jakkeddaw]

I love this video! I wish you had one for all the classes. I want to be able to give my players what classes like oracles, witches, and swashbucklers are all about so they can decide what to pick before diving into the rules for each one.

[@boris_bulletdodger9109]

Positive comment!

[@zeedar412]

If you want to feel like a caster without reading a million spells, this is your class :D

[@irispounsberry7917]

Great video as always. Keep up the good work!

[@duncbot9000]

Been watching lots of content about the Kineticist, this sums it up very well and will make for a great reference video, saved!

[@aethyrien]

You're incredible at breaking down complex things. Well done.

[@SauceMario]

Thank you! I was struggling to understand the base level of what a kineticist was and having terms defined is so helpful. Now I can play with builds and see what it looks like.

[@CoyoteKin]

I just got the book and I love it! And I have to say that you broke down the Kineticist so very well. Thanks for that. Love your videos.

oh wow this was only recently uploaded, lucky me! great work, thanks for making such a short and simple guide!

Man they sound so fun!

[@drunemeton]

Great video!

[@catherinenyxsera3900]

Played an Aerokineticist at Gencon Society events. Was a great time. Video is succinctly on point.

[@christopherg2347]

A few remarks: - 2E Fighters get as many feats as Wizards do (excluding 1st level). You might be mixing them up with older DnD fighters. The difference is that Fighters get more feats that grant actions - you can have your aura active at the start of combat. Only stances can not be active outside combat - the closest equivalent would be a caster that spams Cantrips.

[@mattsullivan2458]

Untrue, fighter gets a class feat at 1st(wizards do not), they also get combat flexibility at 9th which gives them an extra class feat of level 8 or lower that they can change every daily prep, and again at 15th they get an extra class feat of 14th or lower that they can change every daily prep.

Great under-7-minute overview. Just what I needed to by-pass the many 30-or-more-min videos. Why can’t people get synthetic?

Melee is a word with French routes, and is pronounced more like may-lay instead of the way it looks in English (Meee-leeee)

[@aamirhussain26]

Don't wizards have the same number of class feats as fighters?

[@aamirhussain26]

@@Leonardo-fv4vu I'm not sure about that. From what I know rogues are the ones who get way more skill feats, everyone else is pretty much the same...

[@Leonardo-fv4vu]

@@aamirhussain26 oops that's my bad, not general feats, class feats. They do get shield block for free at level one, one extra class feat with combat flexibility at 9, so fighter has a few more. But I think what he meant is options, there are comparably way less options for wizard class feats than fighter (fighter has 6-9 options for each level, wizards have 3-4).

[@christosgiannopoulos828]

Shouldn't metal be part of the earth element ?

[@GrapeCheckerBoard]

The list of usable elements looks like it’s based on the Chinese list + air. Metal and earth are separate under that list.

@@GrapeCheckerBoard interesting

[@codyschuppert4984]

I’m kinda confused as to why metal and earth are separate

[@AZR-AZR]

Our barbarian said, the respective video for a barbarian would be 30 seconds long. First round of combat: rage attack attack Every other round of combat: Move attack attack 😀 Now I'm kind of curious how long it would actually take you 😅

[@KingOogaTonTon]

Haha let's see! Maybe that means more time to go through the instincts.

[@enigmaodell6806]

Pathfinder seems super variable. Lots of customization

[@ciCCapROSTi]

I don't think you explained the progression rules well. I guess I'm gonna have to read the rules after all.
