Hi, I was wondering on how you would stat one in 3.5? The only topic I found of it was an archive and none of the links were valid anymore.

Now, I haven't looked at Dak'kon's stuff very much, but the gist of it as I understand it is: made of chaos matter, increases in power as one levels, and varies in power and ability on mood.

It seems to me that soulknife potentially could fit the bill, but I dunno. I suspect it could be emulated with SK and feats from DSP, but I figured I'd ask.

There's Ferroplasm (http://www.enworld.org/archive/index.php/t-86401.html) from the 3.0 PsiHB. I think DSP did a 3.5 update of ferroplasm but I don't have the book it's in.

A soulknife would work, too. Dak'kon was the inspiration for the first soulknife I ever played, and I made the character's mindblade look like liquid metal.

Hm... I'm thinking maybe something along the lines of the soulbound weapon (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20070214a) variant psychic warrior, except the school would change from psychoportation to metacreativity -- forging the weapon from chaos-stuff rather than calling it from elsewhere. Alternatively, perhaps a psychic weapon master (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20040827d), substituting chaos matter for crystal. If this were combined with monk (using you-know-what feat from Secrets of Sarlona), a longsword as either the soulbound weapon or bonded weapon would be good with the whirling steel strike feat from ECS.

I think a Psychic Weapon Master is your best bet. You can specify that chaos matter weapon is equivalent to deep crystal one for entering the class.

Heh, Dak'kon as a fighter/psion or a fighter/ardent could work quite interestingly.
