Dragonfire Channeler

(Class Archetype)

Most fire kineticists draw flame from elemental gates within. Dragonfire Channeler instead bears a dragoncore ignited by draconic blood, an ancestral pact or a dragonfire artifact.

Dragonfire Channeler

1st

You channel the dragonfire within you to burn and intimidate your foes. You must choose Dragonfire Channeler as your 2nd-level class feat.
Prerequisites: You must be a Kineticist

Dragonfire Channeler Adjustments:
You lose your Channel Element and Elemental Blast activities.
You are trained in your Dragoncore’s tradition instead of Nature.
Your key attribute is Charisma instead of Constitution.
Use Charisma for kineticist abilities that use Constitution.
You gain Channel Dragonfire and Breath Blast activities.
Choose a Dragoncore instead of an elemental gate.
Breath Blasts count as Elemental Blasts.

Channel Dragonfire As Channel Elements but instead of Elemental Blast you can use a Breath Blast

Breath Blast to

attackimpulsefirekineticistmagic

Choose a damage type listed for your dragoncores, then make a melee or a ranged impulse attack against the AC of one creature. If you make a 2-action Breath Blast, you add your Charisma modifier as damage bonus. A 3-action Breath Blast affects creatures in a 15-foot cone. Make a separate impulse attack roll against each creature in the area, in any order you choose. These attacks count toward and increase your multiple attack penalty normally. The 3-action Breath Blast has the overflow trait.
Your dragoncore determines damage die, damage type and range (for a ranged blast). A damage other than physical adds its trait to the blast.

This functions as an elemental gate, except you choose a dragon below.
