A consequence to legendary DC would be a fighter syndrome in different flavor.

Fighter can take almost any martial shtick and make it better, barring hard limits on dice or static damage. Simply by virtue of their proficiency.

If a class were to gain legendary class DC progression they would experience the same privilege but in a different way.

Maybe this is fine. Or maybe they didn't want to make another fighter scenario. I don't know.

Not exactly. Fighter Legendary Attack Proficiency is better than a Legendary DC due the runes Item bonus.

Legendary DC like casters usually only compensate the Resilient runes but still 1 point bellow (but for other side most opponents and monsters doesn't have an Evasion/Juggernaut/Resolve abilities to prevent the half-damage so this point bellow usually doesn't matter that much) and just like happens to AC the monsters saves is equivalent to resilient armored chars.

In the end the Legendary DC just give the casters a closer hit rate of a Martial with +3 atk runes.

But I don't believe that Paizo will give Legendary class DC to Kineticist for the same reason that it didn't give it to wavecasters. Because they already have a martial "Strike" that can benefit from runes.

I honestly hope they get rid of that martial strike and focus more on the interesting abilities.

I hope they buff the martial strike

Mortal enemies it is :)

Might be a good time to introduce a high-level once per day capstone feat called "Burn" that gives big boosts to a single impulse in return for a big penalty. ;D

Maybe a boost the DC and treat the result as one success level higher in return for burning out your inner gate for the day, forcing you to rely on Adapt Element to gather rather than Gather Element for the rest if the day.


I really dislike once per day abilities since then they exists. And for Kineticists this concept look even worse!

If you want to give a burst like Burn do this with something like Unleash but never as once per day. Even when they endures all day they looks bad.

Maybe they should introduce a feat called burn where i can sacrifice HP to increase DC and damage.

That sounds like it would be harder to balance.
