Thread is too long so this may have come up back around Pg15... My thought to deal with Burn is to give the Kineticist a "Psychic Reservoir" based on some attribute bonus, like Wisdom, which slowly increases as you level (like +1 every 3 levels) and refreshes every day when you rest. When you take Burn, you can choose to use your Reservoir instead, if there is room for all the Burn. As a side benefit, you may use (its optional) the Reservoir stat bonus for instead of the normal attribute for determining the blast or talents effect (for example Wis bonus instead of Con bonus). This would give another stat to help with the SADness of the class, a way to step up when things go bad without KOing yourself, and some possible interesting build options, like a frail mystic who can unleash powerful blasts while is Reservoir holds out. The reservoir doesn't have to come on line at lv 1, just to stop the front load of the class (say lv 3), if needed.
I'm not sold on the stat used either... just a thought.
