[QUOTE="Darklone, post: 1299394, member: 1372"] I like your stuff very much. Some other ideas: Give the blade a certain number of hitpoints & hardness. Let the player channel his Wis mod in hitpoints per round into the blade as a move equivalent action or twice that amount as a standard action. The blade is material as soon as he reaches full hitpoints. Bonuses to this channeling (and perhaps later half of that amount as free action each round) are gained with levels. That would mean that he can't create a blade instantaneously at first level but needs a few rounds preparation. Then I would exclude some other monk abilities from use while he concentrates on the blade. If the blade is sundered, he can restore hitpoints to it. Then I wouldn't let him choose most abilities by himself, I'd think about some "career paths" for the blades, possibly taught in different schools... these teach some basic abilities and allow minor adjustments. I'd rather remove some monk specials and allow access to WS (mindblade) and some other fighter bonus feats, give a dodge bonus to AC (perhaps like the swashbuckler in CW)... and the possibility to create twin mindblades later (for a certain school). Whirlwind attack sounds nice :D Have a look at the Dervish prestige class... some abilities might fit nicely. [/QUOTE]
