Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 7710378" data-attributes="member: 6801228">With the Soul knife, I wonder if "Bonus action turn your second blade into a shield" is a good use for their bonus action.I think having that option is good for them, go for a second attack or armor up, and AC is very important for a melee class. Add in Defensive Duelist, Medium Armor Master, and Dual-Wielder along with some of the Immortal Disciplines that increase AC, and you'd be looking at what? Level 8 Variant HumanHalf-plate (18) + Soul knife Shield (2) + Beast Form Tough Hide (2) + Dual Wield (+1) Iron Durability Focus (1)AC 24 with a reactionary AC of 27, or the ability to gain resistance to weapon damage, plus beast form gives potential flight or aquatic capabilities.It costs only 2 feats if you don't want the reaction (giving this to you at level 4 instead) and only 2 psi points every hour.Can't use bonus actions if you want to keep it up, but at level 8 you still have two more Disciplines to grab, and you hit for 2d8+2+dex mod if you spend points on Hone the blade.It isn't pretty, but it seems effective to me</blockquote>
