Kineticist and healing non-lethal damage


Rules Questions


In the description for the Kineticist's burn feature it says, 'This damage can't be healed by any means other than getting a full night's rest.' However, the spell Regenerate, 'rids the subject of exhaustion and fatigue, and eliminates all nonlethal damage the subject has taken.' Since regenerate is not healing the nonlethal damage but instead just eliminates it, would the spell regenerate work on a Kineticist?


Regenerate is a Conjuration (Healing) spell. Given that, I would say no.

(Balancing the nonlethal damage they take via burn is one of the core mechanics of the Kineticists. It's not meant to be something relatively easy to recover from.)


I don't think substituting a synonym will help here. The burn is the kineticist's equivalent of spell slots and no one spell is going to refresh them all.


sadly no but i would also like to add the burn feature is dumb....


I figured as much. It was wishful thinking on my part! XD
