My opinion is that the damage of 【Kinetic Fist】 consist of two part:damage of Blasts,and additional damage,so a Lv.1 Kineticist who ues Kinetic Fist can make 1d6+1+Con modifier+1d6 damage.
But someone told me because the description of 【Kinetic Fist】 doesn't like 【Kinetic Blade】,so this wild talent will change the blasts' damage，totally instead.The "additional damage" means the whole damage of 【Kinetic Fist】.so a Lv.1 Kineticist who ues Kinetic Fist can just make 1d6 damage.
That make me confused.
Who's right?
You surround your body with energy or elemental matter from your kinetic abilities. You can use this form infusion as part of an attack action, a charge action, or a full-attack action to add damage to each of your natural attacks and unarmed strikes until the beginning of your next turn. Since kinetic fist is part of another action, using this wild talent doesn’t provoke any additional attack of opportunity. You deal an additional 1d6 points of damage per 3 dice of your kinetic blast’s damage (minimum 1d6), and this damage is of the same type as your kinetic blast’s damage. This extra damage ignores spell resistance and doesn’t apply any modifiers to your kinetic blast’s damage, such as your Constitution modifier.
Your friend is right. You only get (unarmed damage) + (1d6 per 3 kinetic blast dice) damage on each unarmed hit. Great on a monster that has multiple natural attacks, pretty weak for a player.
Kinetic Fist deals:
The damage your unarmed or natural attack would do plus 1d6 bonus elemental damage per 3 dice of the blast the infusion is modifying.
So a level 1 catfolk kineticist with claws from the Cat's Claws alternate racial trait, a Con of 18 and a Str of 12 would deal 1d4 (claws)+ 1 (strength) + 1d6 (kinetic fist) damage.
At level 7 with the same stats they would be doing the same damage if they used a simple blast, but if they used a composite blast, since the damage of a composite blast at level 7 is 8d6+(whatever) they would deal 1d4 (claws) + 1 (strength) + 2d6 (kinetic fist) damage.
Kinetic Fist isn't very good. You're better off declaring that your kinetic blade is shaped like a cestus, spiked gauntlet, scizore etc. when if you want to punch people with fire.
