Yet another Improved Natural Attack question

[Kahel Stormbender]

Does anyone know if Improved Natural Attack works with a kineticist's blasts? I've been combing my books and Paizo since I noticed Hero Lab is allowing that, but still haven't really found an answer either way.

[Jeff Merola]

It shouldn't. Blasts aren't natural weapons.

Hero Lab is not a rules resource. Spell-like abilities aren't natural attacks.

[Kahel Stormbender]

The ambiguity stems from the fact kinetic blasts ARE counted as a weapon for weapon focus, and could be considered 'natural' for a kineticist. Still, I'd like to know for sure. If it does work, interesting option opened. If not, I'd want to know before a player tries it.

Well aware of HL not being a rules source, hence why I've been combing my books and Paizo to find out if this is an error or not. I can see the argument for why it'd be allowed, but also see why it wouldn't be. I want to know for sure.

For sure it's not a natural attack regardless of of how innate it is for a kineticist.

[Jeff Merola]

It's no more "natural" for a Kineticist than Fireball is for a Sorcerer.

Then I should report that interaction. Good to know.
