Please Allow "Fist" as a valid option for Kinetic Weapon

[DM_aka_Dudemeister]

I think Monk Kineticist is a pretty iconic multiclass and allowing a kineticist to shape the material around their fists or feet would be a fun option.

Can anyone anticipate anything breaking from that?

[Verzen]

Agreed 100%

[Ryuujin-sama]

What would the damage or traits be in that case? I mean if you are a Monk or have a natural attack from your Ancestry and you want to change the damage type I guess it could help with that. But that seems to really only help with Fire, or getting Slashing from Air.

[Xenocrat]

It would lower your damage for anything but air, and you’d lose all traits except damage type. I’d let you cripple your character this way.

[Xethik]

I think this is what melee blasts are meant to represent. That being said, these melee blasts also provoke so wanting an option to get around that seems fine - but they should just remove this manipulate problem.

I think it may result more efficient the standard elemental ki strike + elemental runes on handwraps.

Eventually, some thematic stance.

I mean, nothing stops you from making your elemental weapon into Handwraps of Mighty Blows, is there...?

Handwraps aren't weapons.

But it seems one could make gauntlets maybe?
(Or weapons that appear to be gauntlets and/or whatever suits the part of the body you'd like your PC to strike with.)

A gauntlet made of earth is a pretty cool image.
