Why not just pick another class where you can throw multiple weapons starting at level 6 or 8. And actually the Soulbow PrC is a far better choice (Complete Psionic).As for Nonlethal Force's Dex bonus arguments, I disagree that a +4 Dex-boosting item won't break anyone's bank. It costs 16,000gp for gloves of dexterity +4. If you're going by the wealth per level table int he DMG, you shouldn't afford one until what? 7th level? And that would leave you only 3,000gp for all the other defensive items people think the Soulknife has so much access to because they don't buy their weapon.That 3,000 is enough for mithral chain shirt +1, however, bringing total AC from Dex and armor to +9, at the mere cost of 18,000gp, whereas the Fighter with the same Dex score (14) still wins with his bargain-basement 2,650gp full plate +1 and a total AC bonus of +10 (+9 armor, +1 Dex as limited by armor). I guess if it were point buy the Fighter could use the 2 extra points from Dex for something else... Oh, and if 7th level like the Soulknife, the Fighter still has 15,350gp left for his weapon, a +2 enhancement bonus on it (equal to the 7th level Soulknife's), with 7,000gp left over for a heavy shield +2 and a ring of protection +1 for another +5 to AC.And sure, if you roll awesome stats, any weak character class will look better. But assuming you can't (point-buy or the low chance you're gonna roll awesome Str, Dex, and Con), the Soulknife really has to choose between not getting hit and doing the only thing he can do (hit stuff for damage) well.</blockquote>
