Move Manipulate from Impulse to Overflow


Kineticist Class

As title. Manipulate making everything the class can do except elemental weapon, including the base melee attack actions, provoke feels bad. I know that AoO's are fairly rare on enemies, and there are options for casters to shut down enemy reactions, but it just seems unnecessary and unfun to have a class where almost everything provokes.

So, make it so that only the really big moves do it.

Side note: Fire's movement ability which prevents reactions to movement from the movement itself... provokes an AoO if done next to an enemy.

Unfortunately the AoO isn't that rare in higher levels.

But I don't fell the designer will move the Manipulate from Impulse to Overflow. This wold make a series of non-overflow magic to loose the trait. Instead is more easily to just remove it from Impulse and just add it separately in the magics except for Elemental Blast or just remove the Impulse trait from it once there aren't much mechanics associated to it and in the associated mechanics that want to interact with Elemental Blast just add this in the description.

Thaumaturge, Inventor, and Magus showed that Paizo lusts for PC blood spilled in AoOs triggered by their abilities
