Desert Wind AOE question


Advice


Hey there had a question about the kineticist feat desert winds. Basically when I was first looking at DW, I was under the impression the extra damage only went to the target/targets of the air impulse. Looking deeper, the way people are talking about it seems to imply that as long as a target is hit with an air impulse inside the aura any other creatures in the aura will take the extra slashing damage. I haven't seen anything explicitly state this and the description doesn't it make it clear and I will absolutely get nerfed in game if I cant back up the AOE claim. Sooo can someone set me straight? I will wish milk and cookies upon you!

When you use a damaging air impulse that affects at least one creature in your kinetic aura, that impulse deals 1 additional slashing damage, or 2 if the impulse has a single target.

It is the impulse that deals additional damage, not the Kinetic Aura. So the damage is only dealt to targets of the impulse.

Thank you for that, I always manage to miss the fine details.
