06-06-07, 07:55 AM Is this generally a bad idea to rule that PrC's with progressing manifester levels add to the Soulknife's Mindblade enhancement bonus and special abilities? (Like keen etc...)

Thanks in advance!

06-06-07, 08:54 AM No, generally I'd say it's a great idea which can also be found in Untapped Potential. As far as I heard, alot of people think that that one particular rule helped open up alot of PrCs for the generally weak Soulknife, giving it more options.

06-06-07, 11:35 AM Then I'll make that a houserule. The Soulknife, as is, just seems a bit weak and limited. Each and every option you take, save a few (Kensai, Vow,...) gimp your character or are just there for very specific RP-concepts.

06-06-07, 03:07 PM Yeah, most options do end poorly. Illumine Soul is actually just better in my opinion, even if you never fight undead; additional Psychic Strike die and Positive Energy Healing is a good trade for Multiple Throw. Pity you can't actually take Kensai, as that would've been really nice. Stupid Mindblade not actually being Masterwork.

06-06-07, 04:34 PM Most DM's are sane enough to rule that, at least once it's a +1 weapon, it counts as masterwork. Even without that, hard to justify why unarmed strike would count and mindblade not.

Whats untapped potential? Where can I get it? That and that err... Hyper... Hyper... Something.

Especially if you go into the Soulbow PrC as well, since at that point you don't care about Throw Mind Blade.
