Full BAB for the soulknife?

The more I look at it, the more I think it's just a weird class!

I very much agree with you. IMHO it is "balanced", but it has no place in most campaigns.

I made a much more flexible variant which was supposed to be published by Ambiant a while back, HellHound indicated that it should see light in a cheap PDF soon... *fingers crossed*

No disagreement, just mentioning that their class abilities (distinct from skills, saves etc. -- I'm talking about the stuff on the right side of the level chart) -- unlike all of the other secondary combatants I can think of -- are all combat-focused. The more I look at it, the more I think it's just a weird class!

What is the monk's non combat class abilities? Speed? Falling without taking damage? Soulknives get wild talent and speed of thought.

I think monks are the closest comparison for the soulknife niche.

With the monk, you're right that I'm thinking of fast movement and slow fall, but also all 6 of the abilities with "body" in the name, plus abundant step and tongue of the sun and moon. The monks gets several good combat abilities, but also quite a few non-combat ones as well.

Soulknives get...Wild Talent and Speed of Thought.
