Soul Knife - What is the point?

Favorite

Soulknife is my favorite class in D&D. Although I will admit I tend to multiclass. I like the Soulknife/Kineticist and Soulknife/Psion(Creationist).

I don't have my EPH with me atm to know if I titled that right. The Psion I mean is the one that can create Astral Constructs.

The good part of the soulknife is access to the soulbow, as previously mentioned in this thread. The soulbow is a apparently unarmed archer who with thought alone can do everything as a fully optimised archer could. I dont know if order of the Bow Initiate would be a good stack or any other archer prt class? All I know is the soul bow gets a bonus feat every other level and further enhances his/her mind blade/arrow.

Had a party combine multiple classes and made a nightmare, had the best weapon in party, caused great damg etc. it was a Gestalted campaign however, but nonetheless a very good build. Kensai / Soul knife / Psy war / fghtr / psion / soul bow /exotic wep master, the DM allowed his Kensai/soulbow/soul knife bonus's to stack, instantly a +10 weapon!
I dont know the exact levels but I think it got up to lvl 15? He was almost if not max BAB and had some feats Ive never heard of that made his mind blade change shape and powers.

So point being with a whole bunch of work, feats, a lot of magic, multiple classes and gestalt, the soulknife can be nice!

oh and soulbow is sweet!

Soulbows can take Zen Archery and have their to-hit and damage keyed off of Wis.

Not only does this mean you focus on one stat and have good will saves, but you become more of a badass archer as you age.

I hereby recant every bad thing I ever have said, or will say, against Soulknives and acknowledge them as the most broken thing in DnD.

In any case, every single entry would do well in the BG "Warlocks are too anime and overpowered" thread you started.

Shirley you jest

1. He's serious.
2. Don't call him Shirley.

Shirley you jest

Surely you know that the quote is "Surely you can't be serious."

Indeed! That was quite hilarious

People really should do some research before posting articles like this.

OK lets make a optimal adventurer Soulknife, 1st thru 20th, basically what feats, skills, and magicals ($ to level) all books all mags but not the eviiilll wiki! oh what the heck them too!

which fits the opt out build SK IYO...
sword and board?
two handed?
two weapon?

I like the +2 EPH -collision-enchantment, +5 to damage per strike, if the SK splits his mindblade into 2 short swords does the collision, and its +5 to damage, then go to both blades?
