[QUOTE="Witness, post: 1298507, member: 1500"] Getting back to Tatsukun's original question... For grappling and such, consider the mindblade itself a light melee weapon, regardless of whether it appears to be a katana or a shorsword or whatever. That way, it could be used while grappling (albiet at a penalty), and prevents extra damage from wielding it with two hands, which wouldn't really make sense for a mental blade anyway. You should also consider changing the bonus feats as Improved Grapple and Deflect Arrows aren't really appropriate for your class. Depending how much you want to change the class, consider reducing the amount of base damage the mind blade does, but allow them to pick some special weapon abilities. So rather than all 20th level characters having a magic-lawful-adamantine mind blade that does 2d10 damage, they can have a magic-flaming-ghost touch mind blade that does 2d6 +1d6 fire damage.
