Gravitokineticist

Gravitokineticist are dedicated void kineticists who intensely focus on the manipulation of gravity, neglecting their connection to the negative energy plane. This grants them almost telekinetic-like abilities through fine control of local gravity waves. This mastery of a fundamental force comes with a cost, as they are unable to learn to master another element.

Class: Kineticist

Level: 1st-20th

Replaces: Elemental Focus, Elemental Defense, 6th level Utility Wild Talent, Expanded Elements

Benefit: A gravitokineticist gain access to the following class features:

Student of Gravity: The gravitokineticist She must choose void as her primary element and gravity blast as her first simple blast. A gravitokineticist add Knowledge (Math & Physic) instead of Knowledge (Dungeoneering) as her element class skill.

Gravity Control: A gravitokineticist gain basic telekinesis^OA instead of basic chaokinesis^OA as her basic utility wild talent, except that it is the result of the gravitokineticist's fine control over gravity instead of actual telekinetic power. A gravitokineticist may select the following wild talent as void wild talents: grand intercession^3PP, telekinetic finesse^OA, telekinetic grasp^3PP, telekinetic haul^OA, and telekinetic maneuver^OA and temporal interruption^3PP. She may also select the foe throw^OA and force hook^OA aether infusion as void infusion she can add to her gravity blast and void blast. Finally she gains access to the disintegrating infusion^OA that she may apply to her void blast.

However her link with the negative plane of energy is negligible, she can only select from the following void utility wild talent: basic chaokinesis^OO, fast fall^3PP, grasp of the void^3PP, gravitic adaptation^3PP, gravitic density^3PP, gravitic freedom^3PP, gravity master^OO, gravitic pack horse^3PP, gravity sculptor^3PP, greater gravity control^OO, heavy hand^3PP, oppressive atmosphere^3PP, suffocate^OA and any utility wild talent which require those wild talent as prerequisites. She may only select void infusion which can be added to gravity blast.

A gravitokineticist may select universal infusion and utility wild talent as normal. A gravitokineticist does not qualify for the Kinetic Invocation feat.

This ability alters the elemental focus class feature.

Dampen Impact (Su): A gravitokineticist uses her mastery of gravity to dampen impacts of incoming attacks. The dampen impact elemental defense converts up to 2 points of lethal damage from any incoming physical attack into a point of non-lethal damage, or negates up to 2 points of nonlethal damage that would be dealt by a physical attack, dampen impact only triggers once per attack. The amount of damage affected by dampen impact increases by 1 for every 2 kineticist levels the gravitokineticist possesses beyond 2nd. The gravitokineticist may divide the benefit of dampen impact as she chooses whenever it triggers. For example if her dampen impact can affect 6 points of damage, she could negate 3 damage that she just converted into nonlethal damage, or convert 6 lethal damage into nonlethal damage.

The gravitokineticist may accept 1 point of burn, to increase the amount of damage affected by dampen impact by 1 until the next time your burn is removed. She can accept an additional burn this way every 2 levels she possess beyond 2nd.

If an attack that would deal lethal damage has all of its lethal damage converted into nonlethal damage, or a nonlethal attack’s damage is completely negated, it counts as a miss for the purpose of abilities that trigger on a hit or a miss. If the attack was a projectile and the gravtomancer has a free hand, she may catch the projectile intact.

The effectiveness of dampen impact is doubled against falling damage.

This ability alters elemental defense and replaces emptiness.

Personal Gravity Control (Su): At 6th level, a gravitokineticist has immense control over her personal gravity, gaining the gravity control⁰⁰ wild talent. Additionally she gains the personal gravity and scorn earth class features of an Elocator.

This ability replaces the gravitokineticist's 6th level utility wild talent.

Expanded Understanding (Su): Whenever the gravitokineticist gain access to her expanded element class feature she must choose to expand her understanding of void, gaining all normal benefits of doing so except that she does not gain negative blast. The gravitokineticist gain access to the void blast composite blast, except that it deals half bludgeoning half force damage. Additionally her mastery of gravity is such that she counts as being two levels higher for the purpose of selecting void utility wild talents and the DCs of her infusion and wild talent increases by +1. When she gains access to her second expanded element she must choose to expand her understanding of void, gaining all benefits for doing so.

This ability alters expanded element.

Master of Gravity (Su): At 20th level, a gravitokineticist is an unparalleled master of gravity, able to bend the fundamental force to her will. She gain a fly speed equal to twice her base land speed with perfect maneuverability, she double the distance she may move with the gravity control⁰⁰ wild talent and may use greater gravity control⁰⁰ as a swift action. She also selects three void infusion or utility wild talents and instantly learns them.

This ability replaces omnikinesis.
