A fighter will always, always deal more straight up melee damage than a straight class soulknife.So the Soulknife swaps some Str for Wis.  There are too many psionic feats with Wis prerequisites to ignore a 13 Wis (not really too hard to get too by 17th level).A soulknife is a specialist and not a front line combatant. People seem to want to beleive they are front liners (there was a long, long thread on that one having to do with the lack of good BAB progression).A soulknife can take down creatures quicker than a fighter can under the right conditions. Liek something with a lot of hit points but a low Char, Int or Wis.  That is what a soulknife is best at. Plus all of those ability damage (and special enhancements) apply when throwing the mindblade so they can be done at short range (thus avoiding AoO).</blockquote>
