Overwhelming Soul and Fire's Fury


Rules Questions


So I am typically more of a concept player than a power player unless it's in a game where I know the entire group is going to be power gaming. I am currently building a Kineticist that I want to be a face character so I'm going with the Overwhelming Soul Archetype and my element is going to be fire. One thing I notice here is that Fire's Fury specifically says Elemental overflow so obviously will not work with the Overwhelming power of the Overwhelming Soul.

To get to the actual question why did they do this. It's really not that big of a deal it's a small amount of damage for an archetype that's allready gimped in damage and versatility and while the ability Overwhelming Soul says it doesn't apply to things that don't apply elemental overflow it also doesn't say it counts as Elemental overflow which brings me to my next argument.

The character is half elf whose favored class bonus is +1/4th to damage that applies elemental overflow. I would assume I could still technically use this because while I don't have elemental overflow my blasts technically would apply it.

Anyway just looking for some opinions or whether this may have just been a potential oversight.
