Thank you for the responses. I know Channel Elements uses passive voice to describe the activation, but it certainly seems to read that in Channel Elements, activating the aura is the action and then it is just continuous, not somehow one long action that continues the entire time the aura is active.

Hey everyone, just looking for some outside perspective clarification. So the kineticist dedication reads:

"You become trained in kineticist class DC and impulse attack rolls. Choose one element to be your kinetic element (air, earth, fire, metal, water, or wood). You gain a kinetic aura and the Channel Elements action, though you don't get to use an Elemental Blast or stance impulse when you take that action."

My reading of this is that Channel Elements activates the aura, you just can't use elemental blast in the same action as activation, and then the aura stays on until "you're knocked out, you use an impulse with the overflow trait, or you Dismiss the aura" (the conditions from the channel element description.

This disagreement is that a friend I play with is saying that this means the Kineticist dedication saying "you don't get to use an Elemental Blast or stance impulse when you take that action" means you can't use Elemental Blast at all when the aura is active, or shuts the aura down, which doesn't seem like how that reads at all, but I'd like some outside perspective. Thank you.
