If you are a level 6 Kineticist with the Elemental Ascetic archetype (gets Kinetic Fist for 0 burn), and you have Monk VMC for unarmed damage....
...and you punch a Diminutive Swarm, does all your damage count as "involves a sizable mass of elemental matter or energy, so kinetic blasts always deal full damage to swarms of any size" or is it only the 1d6 from Kinetic Fist that does any damage?
A: 1d8 (unarmed damage) + 1d6 (Kinetic Fist damage) + 2 (STR)
B: 1d6 (Kinetic Fist damage)
C: Something else
...and you punch a Ghost. Does it deal 1/2 damage from the whole attack since "All damage from a kinetic blast is treated as magic for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction", or only 1d6/2 for the Kinetic Fist?
A: (1d8 (unarmed damage) + 1d6 (Kinetic Fist damage) +2 (STR)) /2
B: 1d6/2
C: Something else
In both of those situations I'm pretty sure Kinetic Blade would do:
3d6+6 (16 WIS, simple physical blast) to the Swarm and (3d6+6)/2 to the Ghost but you would only get 1 attack instead of the 2 you would get from flurry. But if only the Kinetic Fist part is doing any damage and your "ordinary" fists aren't doing anything in those situations it seems better.
When you finally get +2d6 on Kinetic Fist, your Unarmed Damage is 1d10, and your Kinetic Blade is 6d6+6+WIS (11th level) per attack with 2 attacks (+8/+3).
If you are using Unchained Monk, do you get the +1 attack at level 11 for the Elemental Ascetic's Elemental Fury ability?
Does "Chained" Monk just use the chart on the Monk Class since it doesn't make any stipulation on base attack bonus like the Warpriest Sacred Fist does?
When using the kinetic fist form infusion with a full attack, he can make a flurry of blows as the monk class feature.
At 11th level, a monk can make an additional attack at his highest base attack bonus whenever he makes a flurry of blows.
A: Unarmed = +8/+8/+8/+3 for 1d10+2d6+STR (Unchained)
B: Unarmed = +9/+9/+4/+4/-1 for 1d10+2d6+STR (Chained monk chart)C: Something else
