Akashic Kineticist v1.0

=ESSENCE DANCER=

While plenty of kineticists find power in the natural elements of the world, a rare few go beyond and grasp at the fundamental building-blocks of magic: Akasha. The difference between veils and wild talents is sometimes blurry, and so these sorts have learned to infuse veils and strengthen them with the power of the elements. Essence Dancers are somewhat well-known for being able to wander the world with hardly any physical equipment at all, instead traveling while clad in essence and utilizing the power of burn.


>Bonus Feats: Whenever the essence dancer would be able to gain a utility or infusion wild talent, she may instead choose to take an [Akashic] feat, so long as she meets the prerequisites. In addition, she may use her choice of her Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier for the purpose of meeting the Wisdom requirement of the Shape Veil feat.

>Essence Pool: Starting at 1st level, the essence dancer gains an essence pool equal to 1/2 her class level (minimum 1). This replaces
the utility wild talent gained at 2nd level.

>Gather Essence (Su): Whenever an essence dancer uses her gather power class feature, she may choose to gain temporary essence instead of the normal effect of reducing burn. She gains 1 temporary essence as a move action or 2 temporary essence as a full-round action. At 11th level, these instead allow her to gain 2 temporary essence as a move action or 3 temporary essence as a full-round action. In any case, this temporary essence fades after a number of rounds equal to the essence dancer's Constitution modifier. This modifies gather power and supercharge.

>Veilweaver: At 3rd level, the essence dancer gains knowledge of any one veil and can now shape it at the start of the day. If the essence dancer has taken the Shape Veil feat as one of her bonus feats, she is considered to have a maximum veils shaped of 2. At 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th level she learns an additional veil of her choice and raises her maximum veils shaped by 1. The essence dancer treats her veilweaver level as her class level and uses her choice of Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma as her primary veilweaving attribute. This replaces the infusion wild talents gained at 3rd, 11th, and 19th level.

>Replacement Burner (Su): Beginning at 5th level, an essence dancer learns how to manipulate the fickle energy that follows her and turn it into something more creative or destructive as she desires. She may use temporary essence in-place of suffering burn, at a rate of 2 temporary essence per point of burn. Using temporary essence in this manner counts as essence burn for all purposes, and allows an essence dancer to use her more powerful abilities without injuring herself. This replaces the infusion specialization ability gained at 5th level; an essence dancer gains the first instance of that ability at 8th level, and continues to gain it as she gains levels at a rate one lower than a regular kineticist of her level.

>Kinetic Weaving (Su): Beginning at 5th level, an essence dancer gains the ability to channel essence into her kinetic blast to strengthen and pinpoint it. For each point of essence invested into this ability, she gains a +1 competence bonus to attack rolls, a +2 competence bonus to damage rolls with her kinetic blasts, and ignores 5% of a miss chance from each attack (including from concealment). An essence dancer may invest one extra point of essence into this ability compared to other veils or special abilities (for instance, a 6th-level essence dancer has a maximum essence capacity of 3 for this ability). This replaces metakinesis and metakinetic master.
