Kineticist weapons interaction


Rules Questions


Hi everyone! I recently bought occult adventures and fell in love with the kineticist, but I am also confused about certain rule interactions.
1) Can a Kineticist use Kinetic blade to create a brassknuckles? What about handwraps?
2) Does Kinetic blade allow iterative attacks? If yes, do I have to spend burn for each attack?
Thank you in advance


Kinetic blade makes a light or one handed melee weapon. It doesn't get any special features. So whatever you pick is just for flavour. So no it wouldn't work with unarmed attacks. And it lasts until the end of the round; you can full attack with it at no extra cost, but it disappears at the end of your turn. So no attacks of opportunities or anything.

As far as using unarmed attacks with kineticist, you'd be looking at kinetic fist. It seems a lot worse, but I think with the right build it can be okay.


Thank you for your answer. I get that a spiked gauntlet woulddo the trick then, being a light melee weapon. From what I understand that would be only cosmetical, as I wouldnt add any damage from feats like power attack ecc. Is that right?

Power Attack or Deadly Aim cannot be used on melee/ranged touch attacks. A physical (non-touch) Kinetic Blast can benefit from these feats: Kinetic Blast from Deadly Aim, and Kinetic Blade/Whip can benefit from Power Attack.
