A geokineticist can only use this talent while standing on dirt or unworked stone unless they also possess the aether element.

Earth Rider

Element(s) earth; Type utility (Sp); Level 3; Burn 0

You create a chunk of earth beneath you large enough to support you as a standard action, treating it as though it was solid ground that you may propel up to 30 feet in a straight line. It requires a standard action to move the chunk of earth in any direction, and upward movement cost double. You can only move upwards up to 10 feet per kineticist level you possess, and the chunk of earth that you levitate has a number of hit points equal to 10 times your kineticist level. You can accept 1 burn to give your chunk of earth hardness 10.

Elemental Limb

Element(s) earth, light, viscera, water, or wood; Level 1; Type utility (Sp); Burn —

You can augment your limbs with elemental power. If you are missing one or more limbs, you create one or more permanent replacements out of an element; this limb functions in all ways as though it was a natural part of your body, although the limb is still treated as though it is made out of its element for how it is affected by spells and other abilities and lacks tactile sensation. You can accept 1 point of burn to gain a +2 bonus to all Strength checks you make for 24 hours. You can select this talent in place of the basic utility wild talent you would gain for selecting an element.

Elemental Limb, Improved

Element(s) earth, light, viscera, water, or wood; Level 2; Type utility (Sp); Burn 0
Prerequisite(s) elemental limb

You’ve learned to manipulate the shape of your elemental limbs, turning them into deadly weapons. You may shape a single elemental limb into a fanged mouth, blade, or claw, or back into a limb at will; doing so treats the elemental limb as a primary natural weapon which deals 1d8 (1d6 for small, 2d6 for large) bludgeoning, slashing or piercing damage (chosen at the time the limb is shaped) and has has a critical range of 19-20 and critical multiplier of 2x. This natural attack cannot benefit from the improved natural attack feat, and is considered a kinetic blast for the purpose of feats which affect weapons of a specific type (such as weapon focus). If you have two arms from the elemental limb wild talent, you may choose to have these manifest as two natural weapons, as described above. You may only shape one limb per round with this ability, even if you have more than one elemental limb (shaping two arms into 1d4 weapons counts as shaping a single limb for this purpose).

Elemental Limb, Greater

Element(s) earth, light, viscera, water, or wood; Level 6; Type utility (Sp); Burn 1
Prerequisite(s) improved elemental limb

You can create extra elemental limbs in addition to replacements to your natural ones that last for 24 hours. You may choose to gain an additional pair of arms (which cannot wield weapons or shields, or be used to make attacks), a tail (primary attack, 1d8 damage), or a pair of tentacles (secondary attacks, 1d4). You can grasp objects with these additional limbs. In addition, you can apply the effects of improved elemental limb to a non missing limb as well, covering it in elemental material.

You gain the crushing strength of earth itself. While your flesh of earth is active, you gain a slam attack that deals 1d8 damage (1d6 for small kineticist.) You can accept 1 point of burn to gain a second slam attack until you recover burn. If you possess the jagged flesh wild talent, your slam attack also deals piercing damage.

Fist of Nature

Element(s) earth and wood; Level 2; Type utility (Su); Burn —
Prerequisite(s) fist of granite and fist of oak

Your fists are now infused with the power of the nature itself, granting you two slam attacks which deal 1d12 damage, gaining a +2 bonus on attack and damage rolls with these slam attacks. If you possess the bone spikes, jagged flesh or thorn flesh utility wild talents, you also deal slashing and piercing damage with your slam attacks. If you possess the toxic barbs utility wild talent, increase the duration of the sickening effect by 2 rounds.

Glass Cannon

Element(s) earth; Level 1; Type utility (Su); Burn —

You specialize in control over glass rather than more common earthen materials. Your crystal, earth, flensing, magma, sandstorm, shatterstorm, or tundra blasts can create glass or obsidian rather than stone or sand, adding +1 to your attack rolls and damage with these blasts. In addition, wild talents with which you could normally only affect earthen surfaces or material (such as earthmeld, shift earth, or stone sculptor) can affect glass or obsidian as well.

You can choose to gain this wild talent in place of basic geokinesis.

Prerequisite(s) improved kinetic cover

You produce a temporary shelter out of elemental matter. This functions as the secure shelter spell, except the cottage and all of its furnishings are composed of whatever matter you choose which your kinetic cover could produce (this matter does not change the shelter’s properties in any way). You can make this permanent by accepting 1 point of burn. You can only ever have 1 temporary shelter and up to 1 permanent shelter per 4 kineticist levels you possess in existence at any time.

Even after a creature leaves this lava, they take ½ of the damage they took last round. You can accept 1 point of burn to increase the duration of this wild talent to 1 round per kineticist you possess. Creatures inside of the lava when it cools become entangled, requiring an escape artist or strength check equal to the DC of this wild talent to escape.

Magnetic Pull

Element(s) air or earth; Level 2; Type utility (Sp); Burn 0

As a swift action, you can create a magnetic pull towards yourself that is hard for others to resist. All attacks made with metal weapons within 15 ft. of you take a -2 to their attack roll if they are not attacking you, gaining a +1 on attack rolls against you. This penalty and bonus increases by 1 each for every 3 kineticist levels you possess.

Magnetic Pull, Improved

Metal Manipulator

Element(s) earth; Type utility (Su); Level 5; Burn —
Prerequisite elemental focus (earth), expanded element (earth)

Pitfall

Element(s) earth; Type utility (Sp); Level 3; Burn 0
Prerequisite(s) shift earth
Saving Throw Reflex negates; Spell Resistance no

You are capable of creating traps underneath your foes. Treat this as create pit, although you can only use it on surfaces of dirt or unworked stone, and it does not create an extradimensional space. You may end this effect at any time, refilling the pit as it was before this effect. At 9th level you may instead treat this as spiked pit, and at 12th level you may treat this as hungry pit. You may only have 1 pitfall active at a time; using it again while another pitfall is still active will cause the previous one to refill.

Seismic Stomp

Element(s) aether or earth; Level 3; Type utility (Sp); Burn 0
Prerequisite(s) distorted area

Raising up your foot, you can slam it back down onto the ground as a move action to make a trip attempt that does not provoke an attack of opportunity against all squares adjacent to you, substituting your Constitution modifier for your Strength modifier. If you fail this trip attempt, you cannot be tripped in return. You can accept 1 point of burn to use this wild talent as a swift action. A geokineticist can only use this talent while standing on dirt or unworked stone unless they also possess the aether element.

Sharding Cover

Element(s) aether, earth, light, viscera, water, and wood; Level 2; Type utility (Sp); Burn 0
Prerequisite(s) kinetic cover

Whenever you use the kinetic cover wild talent, you can choose to make it into sharding cover.

Sinkhole

Element(s) earth; Level 4; Type utility (Sp); Burn 0
Saving Throw Reflex negates; Spell Resistance no

You create a 10 foot area of quicksand within 60 ft. of yourself, causing all creatures within it to sink into the sand. Those who fail their Reflex save have their land movement speed reduced to 0 ft. and take bludgeoning damage equal to 1/4th of your earth blast. Each round those inside of the sinkhole must make a Reflex save to exit the sinkhole, moving to the closest possible spot outside of it. If no safe spot exists (such as if it is created inside of a hole), creatures instead do not take damage for that round, and may attempt to climb along any available walls. If a creature fails 2 or more saves in a row, they are also treated as though drowning, and must hold their breath as appropriate. You can only have 1 sinkhole active at a time; using it again while another sinkhole is still active will cause the previous one to refill, expelling anyone inside of it. If you possess the pitfall utility wild talent, you can accept 1 burn to create a sinkhole at the bottom of your pitfall.

Spined Armor

Element(s) earth or wood; Level 1; Type utility (Sp); Burn 0

Your knowledge of natural materials makes it easy for you to manipulate their substance. You can cause any metal, stone, or wooden armor or gauntlets you wear to become covered in spikes as a free action, effectively giving you armor spikes and/or spiked gauntlets. Removing the armor or gauntlets reverts it back to its non-spiked version if it did not possess spikes before you donned it. If you possess the paper control, metal-wood, and natural armor wild talents, you can also affect paper armor with this effect, and if you possess replacement or additional arms through the elemental limb or greater elemental limb wild talents, you can affect those arms as if they were equipped with spiked gauntlets of which are composed of the same substance as their limb.
