[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2882995, member: 19675"] I like it, but I think I'd take a slightly different take on things. Like Comrade Raoul, if I were designing a Monk/Soulknife prestige class, I'd design a Monk/Soulknife prestige class, as in: 1) Change prerequisites to something like 2 (or 3) levels of Monk AND 2 (or 3) levels of Soulknife (or some class feature equivalent). 2) Use of the Mindblade as a monk weapon, short sword form at 1st level, longsword form at 4th level, and bastard sword form at 7th level. Considering the Soulblade mindblade-shaping feats available in Dragon #341 (and other nifty feats besides) and Complete Psionic, they should get one more shape as a monk weapon at 10th level. 2.5) In the alternative, you might consider the ability to use mindblade powers as unarmed strike powers and vice versa. For example, this would allow the PC to enhance his unarmed strikes with Collision, or deliver Stunning Fist attacks with a thrown mindblade. 3) A class mechanic that allows at least some stacking and/or improvement of base class abilities (like AC, Speed, FoB, and Mindblade improvements).
