[QUOTE="Falling Icicle, post: 1782893, member: 17077"] Ok, I finally got my Expanded Psionics handbook! Looking through it I was contemplating making a Thri-Kreen Soulknife character. However, I have a few questions, and I can't seem to find the answers in the book. 1) When using the option to shape your mind blade into two weapons, can a creature with more than two arms (such as a Thri-Kreen) create more than 2 of them? If not, do you think it would be reasonable to allow such characters to purchase a feat that let them do that? 2) It says you have to spend a full-round action in order to shape your Mind Blade into a different form (Longsword, Bastard Sword, or two Short Swords). Do you have to do this every time you conjure it, or does it retain its previous form(s) when you conjure it? 3) What happens if you use the Psychic Strike ability with two Mind Blades? Does the bonus damage apply to both of them simultaneously? Half on each? Is each Blade charged seperately, or can only one Mind Blade be charged at a time? And what happens if the Mind Blade was aready charged when it is split in two? I'm surprised they didn't explain this, it seems kind of an obvious question to me (though I may just be blindly missing the answer, admittedly). 4) Why do Soulknives have the Wild Talent feat? It says that it gives them "the psionic power he needs to materialize his mind blade, if he has no power points otherwise," but I can't find anywhere that it says they need Power Points to use that ability. In fact, I can't seem to find [i]any[/i] Soulknife ability that costs Power Points. 5) Do Mind Blades shed light? The pictures of them look kind of like light sabers, but it doesn't specify whether they shed light or not. This seems like a pciky question, but I can think of many situations that it would actually be important. 6) If a creature has a psi-like ability that can be augmented, can the creature spend power points to augment it? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
