Special: At all times, with improved telekinetics, the character can telekinetically wield a weapon using their PMA for the attack modifier and damage modifier.

With this ability one can move objects around and carry them without touching them. There are two major ways to use Telekinetics: sustained or as a pulse.

One use of a pulse is to grab any nearby object within range and throws it 60 ft. towards a target. This is considered a range touch attack and deals 1d8 per HD. The object thrown cannot way more than 250 lbs. The weight of the object doesn't matter, as lighter objects just get thrown faster to make up for the energy: within reason.

Another use of a pulse is to do a disarm, shove, or trample at a distance. This requires no initial touch attack and goes directly into the opposed role. Instead of using Dex or Strength a telekinetic shove or trample uses the caster's PMA.

A sustained use allows long term manipulation of heavy objects. Largely, pushing and pulling. Pushing an object of 751 lbs. - 1000 lbs. will fatigue a character after 2 rounds and exhaust a character after 5 rounds. When pushing or pulling things that weight between 251 lbs. to 750 lbs. a character will be fatigued after 10 rounds and exhausted after 25.

VTT Macro Description:
@{character_name} activates telekinetics and it can be used to do a number of things. An object that's up to 110 lbs. can be thrown at a target. The target must be within 60 ft. of the object thrown. Ths counts as a pulse.

A disarm, shove, or trample. can be attempted without a touch attack. The Opposed roll result will be [[1d20+@{pma}+(?{Advanced Combat Maneuver bonuses?|0})]]. This counts as a pulse.

It can also be used to push/pull an object weighing upto 1000 lbs, resutling in fatigue after 2 rounds, exhausted after 5 rounds. Push/pull an object weighing up to 750 lbs, resulting in fatigue after 10 rounds, exhausted after 25. Carry, push, or pull an object upto 250 lbs. with no ill effects. This effect counts as sustained.

While active a weapon can be wielded with the mind. It will use @{character_name}'s PMA as attack and damage attributes, but will still use the same base attack bonus. This counts as sustained.
