I think id have a house rule that if your mindblade is lets say a longsword (doing longsword dmg) it needs to maintain some similar characteristics as a longsword. I mean if you have a glove covered in water type look, i wouldnt give the reach of a longsword?Anyway so in feat terms are you suggesting 2 or 3 feats? I can see[quote = "Feat 1"]"Mindslice"Objects are treated less hard when struck by a mindblade.Hardness is treated at -4 + -1 per additional mindblade feat (inc. Form Mindblade, hence min -5)Bonus AC from Nat Armour, Armour and Shields is reduced by 1/4 the bypassable hardnessExample: So a character with Form Mindblade, this feat, and seven other mindblade feats would be able to bypass up to 12 hardness - and would treat AC as up to -3 less by reducing the benefit of natural armor, armor, shields as necessary.</blockquote>Soudns Really good, maybe thinking another feat similar at higher levels like 17 or so which lets say trible mindblade feats and 1/2 AC? How does soemthing liek that sound in balancing terms? Im ot so good at the that side of things so im really guessing here <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Only the fact that various ways of bypassing hardness are becoming more common at these levels keep me from pushing this up to, say 15th level. Granted, by level 15 most creatures with nat armor likely have 15-25+ nat armor, and most foes with armor likely have enough enhancement to it - along with their shield - such that this is not enough to totally negate their armor / etc bonus(es) to AC. It is, however, enough to give the soulknife a good chance of getting through, despite their BAB. And I note that several 'fixes' and alternate Soulknife classes have a high bab.[/quote]soudns good, by mid levels having some stronger ability to cut through things lightsabre style with your mindblade sounds good to me <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Only thing that worries me alittle is requiring to take fighter levels? I mean if its a metagaming thing where you can but its nto required to have a decent char thats ok. Do you think using 2/3 feats like this youd have to take fighter levels to make it worth while?What do you think fo this. I mean how big is it in balancing to ignore hardness scores? IM guessing that would be a really powerful ability? Im lacking the rules books atm coz im overseas so i was wondering how hardness actually works in terms of gameplay. Not the rules exactly (attack roll vs hardness isnt it?) for it but in terms of in a campaign, how could you see this being overpowered for PCs or such?Thanks so much for the help![/QUOTE]
