A 3 level prestige class meant to replace the entirety of the soulknife class. 5 Psionics Other

Psycheblade

“	I can manifest a blade with my mind, but unlike a soulknife, I'm actually good at it.	”
—Unknown Psycheblade

Psycheblades make weapons out of pure psionic energy with their mind. There is no unified philosophy or technique shared among them on a wide scale. Psycheblades really shine when they manifest their psychblade (yes, the name of the class and its weapon is the same), which is a stronger version of the weapon created by the manifest blade power.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Psycheblade.

Psycheblade: A psycheblade can manifest manifest blade as a psi-like ability at will with a manifester level equal to their character level plus their class level.

Material of the Mind (Su): A 1st-level psycheblade makes her manifest blade into a special material based on her own mind. At first level, the psycheblade must select one of the following options below;

• Dream Shard: Your psycheblade is made of unstable dreamstuff, causing terrible visions in the minds of sentient creatures. You deal an extra d6 per two character levels; however, this extra damage is negated by immunity to [mind-affecting] effects.

• Flaming Ectoplasm: Your psycheblade is made of ectoplasm burning with pure psionic might. Whenever you strike a creature with your psycheblade, you may expend your psionic focus as an immediate action to deal an extra 1d8 damage per character level.

• Quantum Energy: Your psycheblade is made of fluctuating quantum energy; it totally ignores any miss chances and cover (but line of sight may still be required) and can strike inter-dimensional creatures (such as ethereal creatures) as if they were on the same plane. Additionally, you may expend your psionic focus when making an attack with your psycheblade; if you do, resolve this attack as a touch attack.

• Shaped Creativity: Your psycheblade is especially mutable; instead of a longsword, it can be any weapon you are proficient in. Additionally, your psycheblade deals damage as if it was one size category larger and its reach is increased by 5 feet (you may still attack adjacent targets if the manifested weapon had the ability to).

• Solid Rage: Your psycheblade is burning bright red with rage. Whenever you manifest your psycheblade, you may fall under a rage effect, as the rage spell, for 1 minute per class level. Your psycheblade deal damage as if it was two size category larger.

Attune Blade: A 2nd-level psycheblade can attune her blade to herself even further; when she manifests her psycheblade, the greater magic weapon effect is uncapped.

Weapon Focus: A 2nd-level psycheblade receives the weapon focus feat, applying to her psycheblade only (no matter the form it takes).

Psycheblade Mastery: A 3rd-level psycheblade is capable of manifesting her psycheblade as a free action usable outside of her turn. This allows her to quickly rearrange the augments she placed on her psycheblade.
