Hello
I wonder about these 2 abilities:
My question is: Can I use Supercharge in an additional Move action in the next round to cut burs by 4 points or is the cap 3 points with both abilities, just gathering faster with Supercharge?

If you supercharge for an additional move action in the second round after supercharging as a full round action in the first round, you actually reduce burn by 5 points.
Supercharge move action = 2 points.
Or
Supercharge full round action = 3 points
Or
Supercharge full round action + move action = 5 points.

is this confirmed?
It seems clearly stated from the two powers;
Gather power states that you can do a full round followed by a move action to get the combined total benefit... and Supercharge states that it changes the benefits of those actions to 3 points and 2 points respectively.

Another Gather power question:
Can you "save" the charge after a full and a move action of gathering or do you have to use it right away?
If so, what would it cost to keep the charge while waiting for the poor enemy to come into range?
Could I ready an action to send my blast when they are in range?

is this confirmed?I believe Mr. Mark confirmed that yes, this is how Gather Power works with Supercharge.
Gathering power in this way allows the kineticist to reduce the total burn cost of a blast wild talent she uses in the same round by 1 point. The kineticist can instead gather power for 1 full round in order to reduce the total burn cost of a blast wild talent used on her next turn by 2 points (to a minimum of 0 points). If she does so, she can also gather power as a move action during her next turn to reduce the burn cost by a total of 3 points.
For the final Move Action on the subsequent turn, reference the rules on the first Move action to Gather Power. It must be used in the same round - no saving for later.
EDIT: I believe you should be able to hold your Standard Action after Gathering Power, since it specifically says you have to use it "in the sma round", so you could save it until just before your next turn.

I have always felt that if you don't use the power gathered you will lose it at the end of your turn. I have not seen anything that would allow someone to keep that power.
Could I ready an action to send my blast when they are in range?
Yes! Works great. But if they don't come into range, you lose the gathered power at the end of the turn.
