Soul Knife (is this feasable?)

[RigaMortus]

With any luck, I'll have my XPH within the next few hours... but until then...

I've read a lot about the Soul Knife, I think someone posted their abilities and such. But I was wondering about something. Is it feasable to make a Soul Knife centered around throwing his weapon? Taking feats such as PBS, Rapid Shot, Precise Shot, etc.? I know they don't get to throw their weapons until higher level, but I wanted to see if you could make a decent Soul Knife geared towards that. Do they ever get to manifest their weapon as a free action (I forget), because that is the only way I could see it as a feasable combat style for them.

Also, would QuickDraw help at all for a Soul Knife, when it comes to their Mind Blade?

Thx!

Not a bad idea, but it has its limitations, I tried designing one with the first soul knife, problem with the first is almost fixed with the second. You could end up with twice as many attacks as you have a BaB for (throwing with both hands), combined with the right feats (A few levels in Invisible Blade and Master Thrower from Complete Warrior and some plain old Rouge) and your got a pretty nice character. Now, the problem is in both cases you eventually get the ability to manifest your blade as a free action, but never more then once per round, so, you could never get more then two attacks, somewhat limiting to a higher level character.

At even higher level you gain the ability to throw one mind blade per attack you can make, but that's not until 17th level.

They get to throw their soulknives at 2nd level, so you don't really have to wait that long.

Explanation: The Soulknife can only be manifested once per round, even though it's a free action.
