Like a monk or a paladin, there are a ton of things you would like to do, but feats cost dear.Despite the example provided by the premade PC, don't combine psychic weapon with the soulknife. Revving up the psychic strike each round as a move action will allow you to attack, attack, and attack in situations where you need to be doing a lot of damage. Even with psychic meditation, it would take a whole round to restore your psionic focus AND power up your psychic strike. One of the biggest advantages of being a soulknife is not having to shell out cash on your primary weapon. Use that to your advantage, by purchasing or acquiring many inexpensive defensive and enhancing items. For instance, get a ring of protection, an amulet of natural armor, and magical armor. If you use TWF, strongly consider taking Quickdraw and carrying a weapon. There will be occasions when you will want to draw and attack in the same round with both weapons. Also, splitting your mind blade is not always advantageous... a -1 to hit can translate into a surprising dip in attack power. Decide early on if you are gonig to use Weapon Finesse or if you want a pumped strength.The whirlwind attack chain is beneficial, but the feat itself is redundant with your whirlwind of blades ability. Tough call.</blockquote>
