Hey guys, kind of a short question, but may turn into a weird situation. A friend and I were debating making a pair of Kineticists for a possible game coming up. The idea of pure single focused Kineticists appeals to both of us, however, after looking over composite blasts we realize that they can be better in many ways.
The question we have is if we were to both aim at a single target, and one of us has Water, and the other has Air blast, would that target be affected by a Blizzard Blast, with both elemental types affecting the same target?
If no, is it possible for two Kineticists to combine blasts?
@Michael Your my hero, that is all. The answer of yes and here is how you do it was all I needed. Thank you.
If you want the strongest possible interwoven composite, you'll want whoever has the best substance infusions to max out Con while the one with the best form infusions maxes out Dex. However, if you focus that too much to make the interweave the best possible, the two of you might be weaker when you're on your own.
You both need the feat interweave composite blast to do so. Both of you would take burn, unless you both gather power.
Sadly the feat explicitly says the one who readies the action cannot gather power.

However, you're both using simple blasts, and you can each reduce the cost of your infusion separately, so unless you're using a heavy infusion, the main way to take burn is going to be from metakinesis, which the one who gathers power applies.
What happens in a 3+ Interweave? So, assume that 3 kineticists are together with this feat and the first two ready an action with the feat and the 3rd fires a simple blast? Do all three participate? If only two can be involved, how do you decide which readied action takes precedence?

You can only do a two interweave as per the feat text. In the weird event of two people readying as rivals for the same third person (I'm not sure they're really acting as allies or using teamwork at that point), as a GM I'd let that third person decide which one was going to be her "ally" when she used her blast.
Are we sure 2 separate composite blasts wouldn't be created? The feat text doesn't really seem to prohibit the possibility?
"When that character unleashes a simple blast, yours is triggered, creating a composite blast for which the two simple blasts meet the prerequisites." And from there the rules would seem to work for the 2 separate composite blasts.
I would assume two composite blasts would take effect, but the feat stats that two simple blasts combine to create a composite blast. Once two of the three merge, creating a composite and a simple blast there is no longer a second simple blast to create a second composite blast.
Kineticist A fires blast A
Kineticist B fires blast B
Kineticist C fires blast C
A and B simple blasts form composite blast.
Blast C no longer has a simple blast to merge with.
Sorry for double posting but I forgot to answer the second part of, if only two then who? I would expect the answer to come in a few forms.
1. Who ever is the main caster in the group of 3, meaning the character NOT readying an action would decide whom his teamwork feat is currently applying to.
2. The readied character with the higher Dex mod, as he's "faster" on the draw.
The first seems most likely as its team fighting, and you choose who's your teammate and ally at any given time. The second seems more house rule in likely hood.
