This came up in our game last night, and I couldn't find a definitive answer: does Kinetic Blast benefit from the bonus to weapon damage rolls from things like Inspire Courage and the Flagbearer feat?
I know from a Mark Seifter post (which I can't find) that Kinetic Blast qualifies as a weapon for purposes of the Weapon Focus feat. That seems to also imply that it gets the benefit of weapon damage rolls per this FAQ.
I guess it just "feels weird" to get that damage bonus since it isn't a manufactured weapon or a ray, but it does seem the rules support it. What do you other people think?
yes you get the bonuses.
Yes, you get the bonuses.
Did you make an attack roll that deals damage?
Then add +x to attack modifiers and +y to damage on weapon damage rolls.
Right. It's clearly an attack (+x) but my hangup was whether Kinetic Blast counted as a weapon for purposes of damage roll buffs (+y), since it's in a weirder spot as a Spell-Like Ability.
I see enough consensus from familiar faces in other Kineticist threads, so I think I've got my answer. Thanks folks!
Indeed it does, and you can even get Weapon Focus (kinetic blast).
