Hi, it seems that when using "channel elements" to activate elemental blast they don't appear in the token action HUD

Hi, just wanted to add that this is not just Elemental Blast; it appears that the Pathfinder Game System implementation team have made the Kineticist work fundamentally differently than other classes. The first is that many of their actions have these small "Use" buttons under them that send a different action type to the chat box.

As you can see this is not the same as just posting the Action "Channel Elements" to the chat, there's additional functionality. The second is that when the actor is effected by Kinetic Aura, the Elemental Blast Attacks become active as in the screenshot above. However, the Token Action HUD is only picking up the Toggle and placing it on the action bar (also shown in the screenshot in the OP). The third problem is that these Elemental Blasts are further modified by other feats that the Kineticist can pick, and it gets pretty gnarly. Here's a Kineticist with an Elemental Blast that is affected by Weapon Infusion and Versatile Blasts, which allow the actor to pick from various damage types as well as add various riders to the attack:

Token Action HUD does pick up the Melee and Ranged toggles but it does not display the drop downs and clicking on them does nothing. I hope this additional info helps in some way.

For the first, as per #86, the 'use' action isn't going to happen until there is an accessible item.useAction function or similar.

For the second and third, send over your test actor and I'll have a look.

Added support for Elemental Blasts in 1.4.16. The 'use' functionality is still blocked for the time being.
