“I'm an adventurer, looking for treasure.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

An elf, a human and a dwarf are all enjoying drinks in a tavern when each notices a fly in their glass.
The elf places his napkin over the glass and pushes it off to the side.
The human removes the fly and keeps drinking.
The dwarf pulls out the fly and starts yelling, "Spit it out, ya bastard! Spit it out!"

Midge's Formula and Spell List

Midge
Class Alchemist 5/Kineticist 1 Archetype Beastmorph/Pyrokinetic Level 6 Race Gnome Experience Points 3300 Details Full Name Midge Age 38 Alignment Neutral Good Homeland Turquoise Shire Favored Class Alchemist

Background

In the Turquoise Shire sat a little Halfling village. It was a quiet, provincial village. Nothing exciting happened all that often, unless you counted the annual festivals to celebrate the seasonal holidays. For a young gnome girl it wasn’t the most fun place to grow up, but for Midge it was the only home she knew.

She was raised by a gnome woman, who she was pretty sure was her birth mother, a man who she knew wasn’t her birth father but treated her like a daughter anyway, and an elderly gnome woman who she called Granny, there exact blood relationship was in question. With gnomes it really didn’t matter. They are firm believers in the ‘it takes a village’ theory. In this case it was a halfling village.

Midge’s parents were landowners, with a large farm that sustained most of the village with produce. They were quite well off, able to provide for their only daughter easily. What they couldn’t provide however was adventure. Adventure was something that the young gnome Midge was always on the lookout for adventure. And oft times this lead to trouble and one time death…or pretty close to it. It was this near-death experience that put her on the path to becoming an alchemist and also lead Midge to her greatest regret.

You can create extracts (specialized potion that act like spells in liquid form). Mixing an extract take 1 minute of work and remains potent for 1 day.

The DC for a saving throw vs an extract effect is 10 + the extract level + your Intelligence modifier.
• Bomb (Su): You can create a bomb. Creating and throwing a bomb takes a standard action and provokes an attack of opportunity. The bomb is a splash weapon that inflicts 2d6+INT(3) modifier fire damage with a direct hit and an amount equal to the bomb's minimum damage in splash damage.

An alchemist can only maintain one dose of mutagen at a time. The mutagen increase one physical ability by +4 (giving a +2 bonus to all related traits) and decreases a corresponding mental ability by -1 (giving a -1 penalty to all related traits).

The beastmorph also gains his choice of one of the abilities listed in the alter self spell, which persists as long as the mutagen. She may select a different ability each time he creates a mutagen.

Class Abilities: Kineticist

Basic Pyrokinesis

Element(s) fire
Type utility (Sp)
Level 1
Burn 0

You can use your inner flame to reproduce the effects of a flare, light, or spark cantrip, except that the light you create with light produces heat like a normal flame; using any of the three abilities ends any previous light effect from this wild talent.

Simple Blast Physical blasts are ranged attacks that deal an amount of damage equal to 1d6+1 + the kineticist's Constitution modifier, increasing by 1d6+1 for every 2 kineticist levels beyond 1st. Spell resistance doesn't apply against physical blasts. Energy blasts are ranged touch attacks that deal an amount of damage equal to 1d6 + 1/2 the kineticist's Constitution modifier, increasing by 1d6 for every 2 kineticist levels beyond 1st. As a standard action, the kineticist can unleash a kinetic blast at a single target up to a range of 30 feet. She must have at least one hand free to aim the blast (or one prehensile appendage, if she doesn't have hands). All damage from a kinetic blast is treated as magic for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction. A readied kinetic blast can be used to counterspell any spell of equal or lower level that shares its descriptor. A kinetic blast that deals energy damage of any type (including force) has the corresponding descriptor

Burn At 1st level, a kineticist can overexert herself to channel more power than normal, pushing past the limit of what is safe for her body by accepting burn. 1 pt burn=1 pt non-lethal damage; 1 pt burn/round; Max burn 3+CON

Gather Power If she has both hands free (or all of her prehensile appendages free, for unusual kineticists), a kineticist can gather energy or elemental matter as a move action. Gathering power creates an extremely loud, visible display in a 20-foot radius centered on the kineticist, as the energy or matter swirls around her. Counts as move action. Reduces burn cost by 1 pt in same round. Full round action reduce burn by 2 pts next round.

Burning Infusion Element(s) fire
Type substance infusion
Level 1
Burn 1
Saving Throw Reflex negates

Your kinetic blast ignites your foes. Whenever an infused blast hits a foe and penetrates its spell resistance, that foe catches on fire, regardless of whether it takes damage. A foe that catches fire takes 1d6 points of fire damage each round until the fire is extinguished. Against a creature on fire from this infusion, any fire kinetic blasts gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls, to DCs, and on caster level checks to overcome spell resistance.

Magical Abilities

• Spell Points: 1
• Caster Level: +0
• Casting Ability Modifier: INT (+3)
• Saving Throw DC: 13 (10 + 1/2 caster level + INT modifier)
• Magical Skill Bonus: +0
• Magical Skill Defense: 11

Nature (Fire) Sphere

Manipulate Lava

• Spell Point Cost: 1
• Action: Standard
• Duration: Intantaneous or Concentration
• Range: Close (25 ft)

You can either create a vortex in lava or freeze it.

If you create a vortex it is 5 ft wide at its base, is 10 feet high and 2 and a 1/2 ft wide at the top. Any creature entering this area must pass a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 caster level + INT modifier) or suffer fire damage equal to 1d8. If the creature is smaller than the vortex they must pass a second Reflex save or be pulled into the middle of the vortex. Each round a creature is within the vortex they take 1d8 additional damage and must make a Reflex save to escape. The vortex cannot contain more than one creature. You may move the vortex up to 30 ft per round with a concentration check. The vortex lasts so long as you continue to spend a Standard action to concentrate on it.

If you are freezing the lava, it becomes obsidian with a hardness of 5 and 3 hit points in a 5 ft by 5 ft area.

This ability requires lava to be present and does not create it.

Create Fire

• Spell Point Cost: 0
• Action: Standard
• Duration: Concentration
• Range: Close (25 ft)

You can create a fire either the size of a tindertwig fire (fine), the size of a torch (diminutive) or the size of a small campfire (tiny). The fire burns without fuel and is sustained for as long as you concentrate on it (spending one standard action per round to do so). You may spend a spell point to continue the fire without concentration for one round. Flammable item can be ignited by the fire. If a target is in the area where the fire begins they will suffer damage based on the fire size (1 HP for fine fires, 1d3 for diminutive fires, 1d6 for tiny fires) and possible catch fire. A successful Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 caster level + INT modifier) halves the damage and the target avoids catching fire.

Affect Fire

• Spell Point Cost: 0
• Action: Standard
• Duration: Concentration
• Range: Close (25 ft)

You may increase or decrease the size of a normal, non-magical fire of tiny (small campfire) size or smaller by 1 category. The change is temporary and the fire will return to normal after the effect ends. To continue the effect you must spend a standard action to Concentrate on it. You may also spend a spell point to continue the effect for 1 round without concentrating. A person on fire counts as a tiny fire for the purposes of this ability.
