![[CC_Kineticist.png|center|200]] # Kineticist _The power of the elements flows from within you. Roaring fire pure water, fleeting air, steadfast earth, twisting wood, slicing metal. A kinetic gate inextricably tied to your body channels power directly from the elemental planes, causing elements to leap to your hand, whirl around your body, and blast foes at your whim. As your connection to the planes grows, you attain true mastery over your chosen elements._ **Key Ability: CONSTITUTION** At 1st level, your class gives you an ability boost to Constitution. **Hit Points: 8 plus your Constitution modifier** You increase your maximum number of HP by this number at 1st level and every level thereafter. # Roleplaying the Kineticist ## During Combat Encounters... Elemental magic surges from you throughout the fight. Without any restrictions on how often you can use your abilities, you become a reliable slinger of magic. You can develop powers you can use in a variety of situations... or you can choose just a few favorite attacks you use repeatedly. ## During Social Encounters... The elements you channel might guide or even influence how you carry yourself in social situations. You might leap to anger like a raging fire stand your ground as solid as a mountain, keep your motives elusive as the wind, go with the flow like water, make cutting remarks sharp as metal, or exhibit the slow patience of the forest. ## While Exploring... Your innate connection to the elements hones your awareness of the natural world. In an environment full of an element you can channel, you're unparalleled, with the ability to repeatedly manipulate the element around you. ## In Downtime... You could commune with the elements or practice your control over your kineticist powers. Through retraining, you can realign the flow of your kinetic gate to perfect different manifestations of your element. ## You Might... * Have a conflicted relationship with the kinetic gate that fuels your kineticist magic, possibly because it manifested at a traumatic point in your past. * Struggle with controlling and understanding your elemental powers. * Form a kinship with elemental creatures or feel at home in areas strong with your element. ## Others Probably... * Find your ability to keep calling on more and more elemental power truly astonishing. * Defer to you in all matters related to your element, from the smallest tasks to the politics of the elemental planes. * Worry you'll consume yourself with elemental magic or lose control of its primal forces.
