Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aaron L" data-source="post: 3344746" data-attributes="member: 926">I considered doing something like that, but I think it hurts Monks too much to require them to expend their focus for use of their standard abilities, and since they don't have access to actual psionic powers they cant get Hustle to focus quickly and use more than one psionic focus expenditure a round.  And as for the Wild Talent feat, I heavily considered doing that too, but I just decided to let their pool of ki uses count as giving them the psionic subtype.  I have always considered internal forces projected from the body into the outside world to equal both ki and psionics, while magic is the manipulation of outside forces of the universe (and I even consider some magic spells to incorporate the latent psionic powers of the spellcaster.  The telepathy and telekinesis type spells, for example, I consider to temporarily activate the dormant psionic centers of the casters brain that produce those powers.)I really love this article as a whole, letting Psychic Warriors get access to Mantles, and the soulbound weapon idea is brilliant, and I almost consider it a better way to handle the Soulknife concept.  I just wish they would fix the Soulknife and make it a more viable class.  I give them Flurry of Blows with their mindblades.   I consider Monks to e a very narrowly focused subtype of Psychic Warriors who lean a set-in-stone series of psionic abilities instead of a flexible list of powers, and then consider Soulknives to be an even more specifically focused subtype of Monks who seek to perfect their mindblades instead of just their unarmed attacks.</blockquote>
