Also,

Consult your GM

I apologise in advance if this seems rude but it is a furious bugbear of mine i am attempting to lay to rest and react to less severely in future, but, baby steps.

Has 'ask the DM' ever contributed positively to an online conversation in any way other than as an outlet to display a refusal to answer the question and discourage further input?

If you deconstruct it a little, implying that you assume the person it is addressed to is utterly ignorant of what is possibly the single most ubiquitous and deepest underlying concept in the entire community, or that this idea hadn't occurred to them(assuming they even have/aren't a GM) before posting based on the question they have asked is kind of an expression of contempt for that person and what they've said unless they've given you genuine cause to believe that this is the case.

It's kind of like a socially acceptable way of telling someone to shut up and calling them an idiot, vaguely shaped like something helpful.

(I may tend to jump to conclusions and get overprotective of people in these situations because of how much i detest having information withheld and being condescended to, myself, so i apologise if it comes off super aggressively. But again, i don't see how directing someone on a tabletop rpg forum to rule 0 is supposed to be received as anything other than a personal insult & wanted to tell you that's how i see that coming across in case you don't.

Incidentally, to people who say that instead of an answer or opinion WITHOUT meaning offense or derision, what do you think it means sub textually, if not just "i'm not going to answer you and don't think anyone else should try to help either"?

(I realize it can be a qualifier standing in for YMMV but i'm refering to it as a first or only response to a query)

1)How long does burn tk haul last?

1.5)Can you concentrate to haul for longer than 1min/lv & can you resume concentration after that minute

1) One minute per kineticist level.

1a) You can concentrate normally and have it last indefinitely, but if you spend burn to lift more than you normally can, it lasts for one minute per level. If it's within your normal lifting range, you can lift it normally with telekinetic haul.

So it only actually lasts for one use/instance before requiring more burn each time?

7) is there any way to walk & telekinesis at the same time?.

7) Concentrating is a standard action, moving is a move action, so yes, you can concentrate and move at the same time.

But that doesn't answer whether you can move both simultaneously, unless you were just shuffling around a stationary object. the original(non-tl;dr) question was different here as well, which makes it harder to answer, depicting an intent to move both the kineticist and their affected object.

Good to know, thanks heaps for answering.

This series is some of my absolute favourite 3rd party content to date,

I have a question though, i was playing around with an idea for a kinetic duelist & ran into trouble with ranged blast.

It seems intended to function as a regular kinetic blast, but i can't tell if there are any legal form infusions to use with it, since kinetic blade mastery says:

"nor can they add a form infusion to their kinetic blast except kinetic whip, ranged blast, kinetic assault, or dual blades."

and ranged blast says:

"You can apply another form infusion to this blast except for kinetic blade, kinetic whip, kinetic assault, or dual blades."

Which seems reasonable, but can't tell if this explicitly lifts kinetic blade mastery's restriction on form infusions.

It says you can add a second form infusion, only not any that you can use as a kinetic duelist(as they would be redundant or illogical), but there aren't any others to use in their place because, as a kinetic duelist, none except those listed work with a your kinetic blasts.

Am i reading it wrong, or can kinetic duelists really not use standard form infusions?
(i may be underestimating the stress on the word 'another')

If neither, should the first quote specify kinetic blade rather than all blasts, should the second be taken as an exception to the first (along the lines of 'you can apply secondary form infusions to this other than[etc.]') or am i way off base?

I apologize if this has been addressed previously.
