That trick is basically Broken Phantasm isn't it?
Pulling out limited use functions, using them, and then pulling a fresh one out.

Well somewhat not quite but if you squint it works I'm tempted to put in something about the weapons being only copies and therefore they have half hp/hardness, but it seems like just an extra complication for no effect since you don't care about weapons being sundered.

I'm not sure how to make a Broken Phantasm effect without t being, well broken.

I also missed injecting something about replacing a blade when you level up.

The craft feat at level 6 should probably be for arms and armor, with another feat if you already have that one.

B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

just tweaked the class a bit more.
Below is one of the sample characters i worked out, not particularly min-maxed  but reasonably competent. He is makes for a good baseline comparison with other classes. He is reasonably good standing to compare power levels, though his weapon list could use some work, but that is always very GM dependent.

I'm fairly sure he would shred any level 15 fighter he went up against, unless it was from the CO board, and he should be able to contribute in any combat, out of combat he's less usefull but can back up the scout and he makes a better cook. :P (substitue for licking my lips icon... a 32 modifier for cooking, I believe at that point we need to start looking up what epic cooking does. Or combine this with 5 levels of exemplar to have a sensible skill used for a change, everyone likes a good cook.)

Of balance note is that Xiero might have been able to cast wish since 11'th level. However since it still costs the full 5000exp it would probably have been infeasible at that level. still how worrisome would this be?

100'000 Belt of Magnificence +4
 16'000 Cloak of resistance +4

These weapons are all from the DMG, they are not the most powerfull available but the character might not have encountered anything better yet. goes over the wealth by level because they are copies. By RAW I think that would mean they still need to be half costed, but whatever.
62'360 Luck Blade, 1 wish (+2 short sword)
23'057 Nine Lives Stealer (+2 long sword, after looking it over the dm decides that this special ability is less powerful than finger of death and so assigns it a 10 pp power point cost.)
25'600 Oathbow (+2 longbow)
50'335 Sun Blade
 1'500 Javelin of lightning (5d6 lightning bolt, 5pp, Ref 14 half. Due to the nature of the weapon the DM decides to waive the 1/week restriction for this particular weapon.)
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
