Empower Kinetic Blast Calculation


Rules Questions


Simple question, I hope:

Does the Kineticist's ability to Metamagic Empower their blast apply to the base ability damage only (Xd6+X+CON)

-Or-

Or does it apply to the final damage including modifiers from Elemental Overflow, abilities like Fire's Fury and feats like Point-Blank Shot?

Thanks in advance for your help in answering this.

It applies to everything, including static and even situational bonuses to damage like those described in your example.


Thanks Ravingdork!
Makes it nice and easy to calculate too.

Yep, and if anyone gives you any guff about it, just point them to this official FAQ which makes it abundantly clear.
