Kineticist archetype

[Nox Caedes]

Will there be an Avatar: The last Airbender, aka martial artist type archetype?

It is believed so, and that it will take the rather subpar power to imbue your fists with your blast, and make it into something useful.

I asked Mark if there was going to be a Bloodbender type archetype and he said "You'll just have to wait and see, but it certainly sounds in character for me to order an archetype like that... :D"

If so, it seems the smartest option to build it would be to lose the level 2 defense ability in exchange for either the monk AC ability or unarmed strikes ability, and then lose wild talents at 6, 12 and 18 in exchange for either flurry of blows or (IMO, the cooler option) martial versatility.

That said, what I'm more interested in is a Kineticist archetype that brings in Spellstrike and Spell combat from Magus. To your point, imagine taking the Kineticist and exchanging a few abilities for spell strike and spell combat, and being able to do the staff-magus type setup. Boom, last airbender.

Would be great to add some more ways to interact with melee attacks and the blasts, something like the Magus does
