Using Kinetic Restoration on Others?


Rules Questions


This is a quick one. For the kineticist, Kinetic restoration states:

"You recover from 1d4 points of ability score damage to one of your physical ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution).

This also eliminates any fatigue that you suffer, and improves an exhaustion condition to fatigued.

If you have the kinetic healer utility wild talent, you can use both kinetic restoration and kinetic healer on the same target with one standard action."

As I read that, although normally the ability can only be used on yourself, if you have the kinetic healer talent, then you can use restoration on another, right? In that instance, would it be one or two burn to do both in one standard action? Could I choose to only provide restoration?


1) I feel like it could have been worded better, but based on the last line of the ability, I believe you can use Kinetic Restoration on other people. Otherwise, it would have made more sense to say you could use it "on yourself".

2) You would pay the full burn cost for both abilities - although you could have the target pay the burn for Kinetic Healer.

3) Technically, it only says you can use them together on a target, and does not actually say you could use just the Restoration part. As a GM, though, I would totally let you use just the Restoration.
