Because it came up in another thread, I was wonder how, in light of the recent errata stemming from magic missile + smite evil, the conductive weapon enhancement interacts with abilities like Kinetic Blast when used with a scatter weapon. Scatter weapons make multiple attack rolls from a weapon attack, but does this attack fall under the rule of applying a damage effect like Kinetic Blast only on one attack roll and once per 'attack' (cone attack)? Or are they all individual weapon attacks and therefore each one can have a kinetic blast applied?
Weapons with the Scatter property are different from spells or special abilities, as they are weapon attacks, so the FAQ wouldn't apply to them. So yes, Kinetic Blasts could apply to each one.
However, the Conductive property says:
A given character can use this weapon special ability only once per round (even if she has several conductive weapons), and the power works only with magical abilities of the same type as the weapon (melee or ranged).
So, you could only ever enhance one attack per round with a Kinetic Blast.
As a side note, I just realized that this severely nerfs my single-target blast build, because this means that I have to apply my Orc Bloodline benefits to a single Battering Blast attack (which by the endgame, is +35 Force Damage), and if that attack misses, then the entire bonus of my Orc Bloodline is gone.
Which is stupid.
Ah, missed that bit. But now I have an even better idea. Cheers.
And yeah yo that seems like a pity. I had my sorcerer respec into Blood Havoc just before the FAQ dropped. Suffice to say, I was a bit peeved with it myself.
