	Pretty good and short take on the Soulknife. Maybe could use another look at making sure all the materials of the mind are equally good, but otherwise it's good.

"Whenever you strike a creature with your psycheblade, you may expend your psionic focus as an swift action to deal an extra 1d8 damage per character level." Uh, you are aware that you can only take a swift action on your turn, right? So what happens if you want to activate this ability upon making an attack outside of your turn (such as an attack of opportunity)? Well, basically, you can't. I took the liberty of changing it to an immediate action (so you can still only do it once per round unless you somehow have multiple swift/immediate actions), but if you don't want the damage enhancement to be available out of turn, feel free to change it back. --Luigifan18 (talk) 02:24, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

That fair, I have no problem with the change. --Leziad (talk) 02:28, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Attune Blade

Is it just me or does this do nothing pre-epic? Max effective manifester level for manifest blade is 23 but greater magic weapon doesn't exceed its cap until level 24. Perhaps this could be replaced with something more useful? --72.179.43.92 12:39, 17 August 2017 (MDT)

Good point, I will think of something. Thanks for pointing it out. --Leziad (talk) 12:54, 17 August 2017 (MDT)

It does plenty pre-epic. It puts you anywhere from 1 to 3 levels ahead of where you'd normally be for the purposes of manifesting it. It might not do anything at twenty, but it does stuff before that point. Surgo (talk) 15:26, 17 August 2017 (MDT)

I'm referring specifically to the level 2 ability Attune Blade which gives you uncapped GMW for your psycheblade. My point is that since you already have capped GMW, this doesn't do anything until you exceed that cap, which occurs, at minimum, level 21. You seem to be referring to the fact that both class and character level contribute to effective manifester level for the manifest blade ability, which I agree is useful, but doesn't change the fact that level 2 is a bit lackluster right now.--24.155.243.149 18:59, 17 August 2017 (MDT)

Ah yes, you're entirely right and I was referring to something else entirely. Sorry! Surgo (talk) 19:00, 17 August 2017 (MDT)
