So, a new campaign is starting up 'round these parts and I figure I'll try my hand at a Soulknife. Never played a psion, however. Seems least "psionic" though, so I should be okay. Well, enough babbling, down to business.


Our group currently consists of a Gnome Wizard (Spec. Illus.), a human Master Swordsman, a human Mercenary, myself, and one undecided. Thus far, we are expertless, as is why I wanted to multiclass rogue in a couple levels, that and sneak attack stacking with psychic strike. My mindblade is still medium instead of large (even with powerful build), but this could change later in game.


Goliath Soulknife 1

Str 17
Dex 14
Con 17
Int 12
Wis 11
Cha 11


Rolls were 12, 15, 11, 16, 11, 13


Class Skills: Autohypnosis (Wis), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con),
Craft (Int), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (psionics)
(Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis),
Spot (Wis), and Tumble (Dex)



Not really sure where to go with skills, traits, and feats/flaws. Any help?

All 3.0/3.5 books are open. Also, any other ideas/criticism is certainly welcome.

So, I've been reviewing The Soulknife Handbook...




I never realized how broken the class was, but nevertheless, I am stalwart in my decision to play one. I still want to try multiclassing rogue, while probably using the throwing variant. Maybe even then going into Master Thrower (CW).




However, taking the throwing variant, I lose free draw.

But I also get Quick Draw as a first level Master Thrower, would Quick Draw apply to my mindblades, since I technically materialize the blade?



Or... Instead of rogue, I could go Barb, keeping BAB progression and high hp (loss of skill points though), but Fast Movement and Rage (Whirling Frenzy maybe?). Also loose Sneak Attack...



Hmmmmm...


My DM may allow me to homebrew splice Barb and Rogue together to get the benefits of sneak and rage. In which case Extend Rage(CW) and Extra Rage(CW) are both decent feats, especially since the Whirling Frenzy penalty only lasts for one round.


Other notable feats (I think) might be: Psionic Shot (and it's afterparts), Power Throw, Point Blank Shot (along with some afterparts)...

if you want to go into Master Thrower .... just use the Feat Variant Soulknife... then Feat Variant Rogue.... dont worry about Sneak Attack, feats are worth a lot more.... i will try to get a couple of builds posted later
