Pyrokineticist Questions.

[Oni]

Touch aflame, is this a touch attack? It doesn't really spell it out in the entry. Does it continue to draw an attack of opportunity after the opponent knows you can burn people?

Fire Lash, do you take a penalty to attacking if you don't have exotic weapon prof whip?

Hand Afire, does this stack with Touch Aflame? Can it be used as a touch attack? Does it stay active once activated or does it require a move equivalent action everytime you attack with it?

Fear No Fire, does damage reduction even work this way???? Would it reduce 30 points of damage off a fireball, is that an effect? Does it mean that a flaming sword +2 gets it's fire damage reduced but a flamiing sword +4 doesn't. What the heck, who wrote this???

Why does such a cool idea have to be so confusing?

dont use the Pyro out of the PsiHB. it sucks.

either use the revised Pyro by Bruce Cordell here

or the Kineticist from the Mind's Eye here


i know that didnt answer your questions, but i hope it helps nonetheless.

Yes that was helpful, thankyou.

Though I must say I'm still curious about the answers to my questions (since the Bruce Cordell version still raises most of them.)

Go to www.montecook.com messageboards. The psionics forum has an FAQ.

Fire Lash, do you take a penalty to attacking if you don't have exotic weapon prof whip?

If a druid casts flame blade, does he ... you get the idea. He's proficient with the whip.

See the FAQ. If that one doesn't work, try the WotC Boards Psionics FAQ.

Fear No Fire, does damage reduction even work this way???? Would it reduce 30 points of damage off a fireball, is that an effect? Does it mean that a flaming sword +2 gets it's fire damage reduced but a flamiing sword +4 doesn't. What the heck, who wrote this???

It only works against flaming weapons of +3 or lower enhancement. Then again, 3.5 DR is so much better . IMO use the Mind's Eye version, at least for this ability.

They need better editors?

Just to be nitpicky, Flame Blade does specify that it is wielded as a scimitar which is a weapon that druids are already proficient in (for what reason I don't know but hey).



Anyway, thanks for pointing out those psionics FAQ's, very helpful.
