<br />
Question on Kinetic Blasts. During combat you can ready an action:
<br />
<div class="messageboard-quotee">d20pfsrd.com wrote:</div><blockquote><p>Readying an Action
</p>
You can ready a standard action, a move action, a swift action, or a free action. To do so, specify the action you will take and the conditions under which you will take it. Then, anytime before your next action, you may take the readied action in response to that condition. The action occurs just before the action that triggers it. If the triggered action is part of another character’s activities, you interrupt the other character. Assuming he is still capable of doing so, he continues his actions once you complete your readied action</blockquote><p>But there's a specific feat called Delay Blast:
<div class="messageboard-quotee">d20pfsrd.com wrote:</div><blockquote><p>When you use a kinetic blast, you can specify a number of rounds between 1 and 5. When that number of rounds has passed, the kinetic blast takes effect at the beginning of your turn. In the interim, you can take a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity to cause the blast to take effect earlier than you initially selected. If you delay another blast while you already have a delayed blast pending, the previous delayed blast dissipates harmlessly.</p>
<p>You must make any decisions you would make about the delayed blast—including designating target positions, choosing infusions, and determining or shaping the area—when you first use the blast. The blast originates from your position at the time you used the blast, not your current position when the blast takes effect, and it targets the position or area you had specified (which may or may not include any targets). A delayed blast radiates an aura of magic appropriate for its spell level even while it is delayed, and during that time, it can be dispelled by dispel magic.</blockquote><p>When would the feat be more useful than just readying it? Is it just giving the option to do so out of combat?
<p>Thanks!</p>Hey Mark,
