Kineticist: How long does Internal Buffer last? and does it stack?


Rules Questions


Can I suffer the Burn for Internal Buffer one day and still have the buffered one available the next? Can I build up the Internal Buffer over a few days?

Your internal buffer lasts until you spend it (and yes, across days- that's the main point). Your internal buffer is only so big- you can't put more in than it will hold. Basically, when you get to the end of the day and you're doing good on hitpoints, fill up (or partially fill) your internal buffer for use later.


Thanks. But how much can it hold?

I should have said: We are using the PFS level 7 pregens. The Kineticist doesn't give us all the info we want:

Internal Buffer

As a full-round action, Yoon can accept 1 point of
burn to add 1 point to her buffer. When she would otherwise accept
burn, she can spend this point to avoid accepting 1 point of burn.
Points spent from Yoon’s buffer do not activate or augment her
elemental overflow.


At level 7 only 1 point, it's a small pool.


Nothing too much to fear than as the GM.

Yeah, and you get that 1 point at level 6, 2 at 11th, and 3 at 16th.
