Elemental Impulse Feat Clarification

Hi, all! I'm seeing some misinterpretations due to some poor wording around elemental impulse feats. When you choose a kineticist feat, you can choose from amont the feats under Kineticist Feats and from the impulse feats of any element you can channel. You do not get an *additional* feat each time you pick a feat. So if you were a 1st-level pyrokineticist, you would have the three fire impulse feats from dedicated gate plus one feat chosen from either the main list or from fire impulses. Then at every even level after that, you'd gain one kineticist feat chosen from either the main list or fire impulses.

Sorry about the confusion!

"You do not get an *additional* feat each time you pick a feat."

But .. why not? ;) ;) ;)

Just think about the potential!

It would be so obviously too good to be true I haven't even thought of it :)

Never even crossed my mind to get an additional feat, so don't think it was too poorly written. That said though, never a bad thing to clarify things. Thanks Logan


Came here curious about this. Double feats *felt* TGtbT, but I wasn't certain. "can also select" could mean "can also select from" and "can additionally select". Glad to see it clarified so quickly!

I don't know the idea of having a separate pool for you feats and your spells is how all other casters work.

As a suggestion - rename the section on page 5 from "Elemental Impulses" to "Elemental Impulse Feats". The word feat is in the description, but it did not trigger as keyword feat until I went to re-read after reading your response.
