Kineticist infusions and flurry of blows


Rules Questions


Hello everyone,

i'm trying to make a zen archer kineticist multiclass character, but im having some trouble working out if I can use flurry of blows with a conductive weapon and use energize weapon at the same time. there is also a small section of the energize weapon form infusion I need clarification on.

i'm pretty sure I can use a conductive weapon and flurry of blows, adding the blast damage to one attack in the chain. first small question, would I be able to add overflow damage to this attack?

now, Energize weapon is a form infusion that states I can chose a manufactured weapon in my hand and I imbue it as part of an attack action, charge action, or full-attack action. as flurry of blows is like a full attack action does that mean I can use energize weapon on it and if so would I get the extra 1d6 damage on every iterative attack?

the energize weapon also mentions the blue flame blast doubles the additional damage done by energize weapon. energize weapon usually does 1d6 , then 2d6 at 7 and 3d6 at 13. would that mean blue flame blast would do 2d6, 4d6, 6d6?

finally... if I use a conductive weapon, can I use energize weapon do a flurry and conduct a blast on the first attack?

At Level 11, 4 zen 7 kineticist. I think id be flurrying, with no modifiers, for +9/+9/+9/+6 at 4*(1d8 + 2d6 (4d6)) with potentially another 4d6 from the conductive, does that sound right?

if you like the concept of a elemental Zen archer i'll send the full build. its not really finalized yet however as the kineticist rule set has had me put a haze of confusion for the last few days.


Energize weapon doesn't add overflow damage. It should work on a flurry of blows just fine. Blue flame blast works with it like that.

I'm pretty sure you could add a normal blast via conductive weapon separately from the damage bonus via energize weapon, they're separate actions. Be careful about stacking up burn though.

At L11 with that multiclass, during a flurry of blows you have a +2/+2 attack bonus (+4 BAB & -2 'TWF' penalty; +2/+2 on the table) from the monk and +5 BAB from the kineticist for +7/+7/+2.

I added in the Ki strike for another attack :D. Oh, ok I see now, I was working out the FoB table all wrong.

thanks for the clarification.

with the perfect strikes from Zen hopefully i'll still be able to hit.
