An animated object then immediately attacks whomever or whatever you initially designate. If used outside of combat, an animate object is capable of performing minor tasks. It can be considered to know one "trick" (see the Handle Animal skill). You can change the designated target of an animated object as a move action, as if directing an active power. An animated object can be of any nonmagical material. This power cannot animate objects carried or worn by a creature. ''Augment:'' A kineticist can augment this power by spending two or more power points. For each two power points he spends in this way, he may animate an additional object. Different objects can know different tricks, even if each were created by the same manifestation of this power. You may animate one Small or smaller object or an equivalent number of larger objects per manifester level. A Medium object counts as two Small or smaller objects, a Large object as four, a Huge object as eight, a Gargantuan object as sixteen, and a Colossal object as thirty-two. A medium can augment this power by spending two power points. If he does so, he can animate a skeleton or zombie instead of an object. This power's target becomes "One dead creature." A skeleton can be created only from a mostly intact corpse or skeleton. The corpse must have bones. If a skeleton is made from a corpse, the flesh falls off the bones. A zombie can be created only from a mostly intact corpse. The corpse must be that of a creature with a true anatomy. A medium is limited to a maximum number of animated undead equal twice his manifester level. [[category:Train of Thought]][[category:Train of Thought Powers]]
