Elemental Overflow + Size Bonus

[All Seeing Archer]

Quote:

Elemental Overflow (Ex)

At 3rd level, a kineticist's body surges with energy from her chosen element whenever she accepts burn, causing her to glow with a nimbus of fire, weep water from her pores, or experience some other thematic effect. In addition, she receives a bonus on her attack rolls with kinetic blasts equal to the total number of points of burn she currently has, to a maximum bonus of +1 for every 3 kineticist levels she possesses. She also receives a bonus on damage rolls with her kinetic blast equal to double the bonus on attack rolls. The kineticist can suppress the visual effects of elemental overflow by concentrating for 1 full round, but doing so suppresses all of this ability's other benefits, as well. The next time the kineticist uses any wild talent, the visual effects and benefits return instantly.

As a kineticist's body becomes more and more suffused with her element, she begins to gain more powerful benefits.

Starting at 6th level, whenever she has at least 3 points of burn, the kineticist gains a +2 size bonus to two physical ability scores of her choice. She also gains a chance to ignore the effects of a critical hit or sneak attack equal to 5% × her current number of points of burn. At 11th level, whenever the kineticist has at least 5 points of burn, these bonuses increase to a +4 size bonus to one physical ability score of her choice and a +2 size bonus to each of her other two physical ability scores.

At 16th level, whenever the kineticist has at least 7 points of burn, these bonuses increase to a +6 size bonus to one physical ability score of her choice, a +4 size bonus to a second physical ability score of her choice, and a +2 size bonus to the remaining physical ability score.

Since the size bonus lasts for the rest of the day, would a Kineticist that increases their Constitution effectively increase the maximum amount of burn they could take per day?

yes

I'm not so sure Chess Pwn.

A Barbarian/Kineticist wouldn't get extra rage rounds, for example. It's not clear to me which bucket the Max Burn limit falls into.

If you never sleep, it's always full. Just, your amount of burn would go up, but not by enough to change much.

[Chess Pwn]

A kineticist can't choose to accept burn if it would put her total number of points of burn higher than 3 + her Constitution modifier.

The kineticist can't get burn if it puts total burn above their con +3. If your con is bumped up then that limit is raised. Nothing stops you from having more burn that you're allowed to accept. Like you could still try to gather power when at "max burn" and fail a check and take more burn.

Starting at 1st level, a barbarian can rage for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + her Constitution modifier. At each level after 1st, she can rage for 2 additional rounds. Temporary increases to Constitution, such as those gained from rage and spells like bear's endurance, do not increase the total number of rounds that a barbarian can rage per day.

The difference is that the Barb gives you a daily limit of rage rounds. A temp boost doesn't change a daily total.
