Heretic of The Seventh Circle
So, I don't mean that it's poorly designed.
The problem is that it is vastly too high level, and I'm pretty sure that this is why various lower level telekinetic powers in the game...well, suck. Really badly.
The Telekinetic feat is terrible as a feat. Great. Invisible mage hand, greater range on it if I dedicate a cantrip to it from another source, and a...a ranged shove attack. A ranged shove, really, not a shove attack. A very weak one, at that.
The Psi Warrior is supposedly meant to let you play a character like Darth Vader, but it fails utterly. Literally just give it Move Object from star wars saga edition with a new name. Like...what the hell is this?
There is no telekinetic monk!? How!? The closest we have is a spirit projections monk with glowing magic arms.
Telekinesis is a huge part of like...tons of fantasy properties. Like a lot. It's very common, and it's usually not something you have to really master magic in order to do. Why are we waiting until level 9 for anything better than move light object and some abilities that can like, throw a rock or push a guy 5ft.
The only two solutions I have are to do one of:
Am I the only one bothered by this? Anyone got other ideas?

The only two solutions I have are to do one of:
- remove the telekinesis spell completely, and allow other sources to do what it does, at lower levels with scaling
- Make it a level 1 spell, and scale it from the size of stuff you can yeet with catapult all the way up to where you can move around multiple huge creatures at once because you cast the spell at level 9
Am I the only one bothered by this? Anyone got other ideas?
