talk the dm into allowing you the hidden talent alternate class feature for soulknives.

legacy champion will advance your soulknife levels with full class features.

pyro is a fun addition to soulknife, though it doesn't add directly to class features.

there is no particular rule against manifesting two of your mind blades, taking the appropriate action to do so for each, twf with the feat that allows you to shape your mind blade to specific weapons, take scimitar and dervish levels.

or just twf with your mind blade and a pyro's fire lash. or take variant kinetic for different types of energy damage.

there are dragon feats which also boost the mind blade abilities. assuming you can get that past the dm.

psy-war for a couple of feats and useful powers isn't all bad, especially if you get the hidden talent acf mentioned above. note that you can pick any power with hidden talent, iirc.

illumine soul is decent and stacks with soulknife nicely.

i know you didn't want soulbow, but some features do stack retroactively onto the mind blade, plus granting decent range for a level or two. might be worth a look. plus the mention that core soulknives effectively get full bab with mindblade.

kalashtar race has nice racial sub levels with soulknife.

hmmmm. that's all i can think of for now. ^^


edit: oh yeah, mau-jehe can either stack with or function as a second mind blade simultaneously with your existing one. works even better if you decide to take the legacy champion prestige. combine with the pathfinder or athas soulknife for maximum effect.

I personally life a Swordsage 18/Soul knife 2.  I am not sure if you can upgrade your soulblade like a normal blade, but I do know is that the soulblade is in every way except visually to that of a Shortsword which is a Swordsage (Shadowhand) Favored weapon, grab DW and BAM!, you get Dex to damage.

Or if you want you could do a Githzerai, Soulknife 10, Soulbow 10, or Soulknife 5, Soulbow 10, Illumine Soul 5.

I dare anyone to find a hole in that logic.

Let me start by saying I have never considered you strange or different for your sexual preferences.


But in all the posts you've ever made, this is the one post that had managed to make me think otherwise.

And yes, this is a joke.

*^^* yeah, that bit... i didn't want to quote it.

i was guessing that you meant to post "ancestral" rather than how that turned out.

gah, now i'm reminded of some legend lore regarding dire wolves i learned which your icon and unfortunate post combined reminded me of.


my head hurts.

*Checks post*

I have no clue what you're talking about.

But it's all relative anyway.

heh.


[spoiler]oh, and by the way, it belatedly occurred to me that my post might be taken in an offensive way.

a) it was not my intent to offend.

b) if i have done so in any case, i apologize.

c) it doesn't seem that i managed to do so, but i prefer to be clear.
[/spoiler]


back on topic...

i think it would be thematically interesting to have a soulknife runecaster or artificer combo whereby they could customize their blade in many interesting ways, more so than even the mindblade feats in dragon mag would allow... but i don't really see how that would mechanically work and still be decently effective. maybe a cohort situation.

Off Topic[spoiler]Don't worry about it. I actually have something that resembles a sense of humor.

Or was that heartburn? I forget.[/spoiler]
