Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

Soulknives are proficient with all simple weapons, with their own mind blades, and with light armor and shields (except tower shields).

Mind Blade

As a move action, a soulknife can create a semisolid blade composed of psychic energy distilled from his own mind. The blade is identical in all ways (except visually) to a short sword of a size appropriate for its wielder. For instance, a Medium soulknife materializes a Medium mind blade that he can wield as a light weapon, and the blade deals 1d8 points of damage (crit 19-20/×2) + 1d6 points of force damage. Soulknives who are smaller or larger than Medium create mind blades identical to short swords appropriate for their size, with a corresponding change to the blade’s damage. The wielder of a mind blade gains the usual benefits to his attack roll and damage roll from a high Strength bonus.

A soulknife’s mind blade improves as the character gains higher levels. At 3rd level and every two levels thereafter, the mind blade gains a cumulative +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls (+2 at 5th level, +5 at 11th level).

Weapon Focus (Mind Blade)

A soulknife gains Weapon Focus (mind blade) as a bonus feat.
