Incorporeal Kineticist

[Harley323]

How does being incorporeal affect a kineticist's kinetic blasts, and by extension any spell that uses an attack roll?

Per Incorporeal: "An incorporeal creature’s attacks pass through (ignore) natural armor, armor, and shields, although deflection bonuses and force effects (such as mage armor) work normally against it."

Do physical blasts ignore physical defenses, or are the subject to them?

What if I use kinetic blade on an attack action?

What about other spells an incorporeal character may cast?

I dont think blasts or blade would ignore defenses. It's the kineticist that is incorporeal, not the weapons. The blasts would still be made of whatever element the kineticist has, like earth, wood, ice, and even the energy ones would still be made of fire, water, etc (or any combination for composite blasts). Most spells too, if they deal for example fire damage.
If the kineticist is incorporeal, I think only his unarmed attacks would count as incorporeal. If he wielded a regular sword, that sword wouldnt be automatically incorporeal, unless it had the Ghost Touch property. Also, there's a 3rd party infusion called "Incorporeal Infusion" that makes blasts work as incorporeal - its existence implies that normal blasts dont work like that.

There is a metamagic feat that you can take that allows your blasts to effect incorporeal foes. When you take the expanded Metakinesis Feat, you can pick ectoplasmic spell.
