Kineticist with Enlarge Effect


Rules Discussion


Does the kineticist get the damage bonus from the Enlarge effect when using the Elemental Blast in the melee attack?


You are meaning the Enlarge spell, yes?

I don't see any reason why not. It is melee damage.


Yes, I mean this spell.
I got a little confused because Foundry VTT doesn't include the effect on the blast, hence the question :) I figured that the elemental blast can be performed in melee, but the damage still doesn't count as melee damage. However, the strength modifier is also added when you use the blast in melee. So I was a little confused now :) Thanks for the answer!


Keep in mind that it won't stack with the Con bonus to damage since both are Status bonuses though.

Yes, thank you for the hint. Both of it is situation bonus, I see.


I concur, if you make a melee attack with your elemental blast, with the way enlarge is written you gain the +2 status bonus to damage (along with the default melee damage bonus).

If you were to use the 2 action version of elemental blast which adds a status bonus equal to your con modifier it wouldn't stack with the bonus from enlarge and you would get which is higher.
