Can a kineticist blast crit?


Rules Questions

Well, can it? if so, what role is required and what is the multiplier?


They're listed as "ranged attacks" for the physical blasts and as "ranged touch attacks" for the energy blasts. Since there is no critical threat range or multiplier given, you use the default values of "crit on 20" and "x2".

Thank you. For my future reference, where does it say that 20, 2x is the default? I missed that.

The Concordance

Ironically I just deleted my link to the Developer commentary from the playtest that confirmed blasts crit on a 20, and the multiplier is x2.

When your BAB reaches +8 you can even take Improved Critical (Kinetic Blast) to increase that to 19-20/x2.

The entire blast gets doubled, too, unlike Alchemist Bombs.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. Sadly, you have to be level 11 before you can even consider taking it.
