We're looking at starting an Eberron campaign soon and I was kicking around some character ideas. And I got started looking at the Soulknife class.
And in analyzing it, it seems groovy. It has some ups and downs, and that's ok. And it has a definite place in Eberron. But then it hit me...
What happens when they fight a creature with DR?
By "DR" I mean material based. The knives are considered magic. But what about silver? Cold iron? Adamantine? Near as I can tell, they're just plain hosed. A regular weapon wielder can just carry an extra weapon. But to use that, the soulknife has to basically set aside most of their class benefits and probably feats as well.
I did a look-through for feats or magic items that could help but didn't see anything. Sure there's a feat for bypassing a material DR, but that's an epic feat. Even if you made it a regular psionic feat for the mind blade only, that's eating up a lot of feats.
So anyone out there know something I missed? How do these poor critters manage?
Thanks!
