Hallo! As no one has seen fit to post anything about a soulknife/manifester "gish" prestige class, I'll just have to make one my self.

The Psi/Blade Master
Prerequisites:
BAB: +3
Feats: Practiced manifester and psionic body
Skills: Concentration(8),knowledge[psionics](8) and Psicraft(8)
Special: Manifester 3rd level+, and Mind blade with psychic weapon: +1d8

Description: The Psi/Blade Master is a psychic who's mental might is able to manifest both a mind blade, and traditional psionic powers, and blends them together into a harmonious whole. The powers of a psion, psychic warrior or other manifesting class grants great flexability and the mind blade is an invaluable weapon-one of whom the Psi/Blade Master cannot be disarmed of! In working to improve both sorts of psionic power, the Psi/Blade Master achieves a mastery of psychic combat that few being can truely match.

The Untapped Potential variant rules on soulknives essentially turn *every* manifesting PrC ever published into a soulknife-advancing PrC, and if you have both it advances both.

Why didn't anyone tell me this before? Oh well. I guess I'll have to just save up and get one of those "untapped potential" books a present to myself this holiday!;) :D

My suggestion for a Gish would be either one level of Psion (Egoist) or Psychic Warrior and then picking up Illithid Slayer. Excellent BAB, good manifesting, good abilities and soulknifing!

I just made a build doing exactly this. It worked out fairly well. A little weak at low levels, but becoming much better as you approach 20.

Kaleran, if you do pick up Untapped Potential, check out the Enlightened Protector. It works similar to Illithid Slayer and is thematically appropriate for a soulknife gish.

Hallo.

Thank you for the 'heads up',TheKeyofE. I'll have to take a good look at this one,eh?

Remember;Just because it says 'Illithid Slayer' don't mean that an Illithid can't take it up as a prestige class. After all,it's a poorly kept secret that Illithid Slayer's abilities lend themselves to hunting any psionic being.Any.
So beware,take care!
