Thanks, that was very helpful. I have a player who is wanting to try this class out and I wanted to make sure I got a better understanding of it than him before I start the campaign (I doubt he'd think of that combo, but I wanted to understand how it'd work just in case).
I'm very late to the party (and have only read the first 17 pages plus last 2 of this topic). But I have a question on how kinetic blade/whip would interact with the vital strike feats. My assumption from the wording of vital strike is that a blast that does 1d6 +1 +con mod + an additionally 1d6 +1 per 2 levels above 1st would only multiply the number of d6s rolled and not the additional +1s or con modifier. Would that be a correct assumption? Furthermore, would it interact with the empower/maximize metakinesis abilities by adding the metakinesis to just the base blast damage and have to role the extra dice just normally, or would you apply the metakinesis to the whole die pool? If my initial assumption is correct and we're looking at the generous of the metakinesis interactions, I could do 309 with an improved vital strike with an air blast kinetic blade at level 20, using 1 burn by gathering element beforehand. This is assuming the character only has a 22 con, vital strike, improved vital strike, and took form infusion specialization at this point(the damage would be a lot more if using a composite blast, and it would increase the burn by one. Though to be fair, I could do between 355 and 405 with a two-handed fighter of the same level (though, that's with maxed starting strength, optimizing the build, access to magic tomes, belts, a +5 impact weapon, adding a -11 to the attack roll, and relies on the target not being immune to critical hits) |
