Both of these features are incredibly similar to Paladin smites.</li> </ol>The main core components of each class (the 2 options above) are in both classes. So based on that I am now combining them into their own separate 5th level manifesting class (I may go for 6th if the powers are really necessary, but it doesn't seem so).<a href="http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/ByrVUawa" target="_blank">Soulknife with Psychic Warrior as it's own class</a> is what I'm working on now. It's somewhat based on the Paladin chasis. I'm not sure what direction to go with psychic strike and the special weapons. I really do like the scaling and them always being an option instead of only picking a few. It also makes it much easier than a bonus action cast power which prevents TWF, GWM, or PAM. Psychic Strike is limited to once per turn so it should be fine (imo, divine smite should be too). I originally created Soulknife as a Fighter archetype, but am scratching that concept in favor of this.I want the class to work with all normal weapons types (2 handed, TWF, S&B, Ranged) and the natural weapons as well (with claws working a bit like TWF, but with claws).As it stands I envision Blade Skills as some kind of situational boost or permanent boost and Psychic Strike as the attack enhancers.I have no idea on the archetypes. I really don't think the class should be split up based on the PF Psychic Warrior paths as those basically say "What weapon do you want to use?" By 5e design that's poor design and by description the Soulknife is very versatile so I think that would be a mistake. So any advice there is appreciated. I'll need some higher level features as well once I figure out the archetypes and how best to add flavor and options to the class.I started adding the powers to the same <a href="http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/S1pzOtEs" target="_blank">Psionic Powers</a> sheet with the list at the top and the new ones at the bottom (Strike Powers likely to go away as the strikes will either be blade skills or part of psychic strike).This is all very beginning stages.I still need to finish off the Psion's 14th level feature for metacreativity and adjust the astral construct down a bit.</blockquote>
