These weapons threaten adjacent creatures, and the psychic armory may make attacks of opportunity as a ranged attack against targets within 5 feet should an attack be provoked. Ranged attacks made within melee reach of an enemy when using her panoply of blades never provoke attacks of opportunity. The concentration required to manifest the panoply of blades means the psychic armory cannot use other weapons, natural attacks or off-hand attacks while using Psychokinetic Throw but she may use a shield to defend herself.

Regardless of the weapon forms a psychic armory has chosen, her panoply of blades does not have a set damage type per weapon type. When shaping her panoply of blades and assigning abilities to it, the psychic armory chooses whether the weapon type (light, one-handed, or two-handed) will deal bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage. The psychic armory may change the damage type of an existing weapon group (light, one handed or two handed) in her panoply of blades, or may summon a new panoply of blades with different damage types, as a full-round action. Otherwise, the panoply of blades retains the last damage type configuration chosen every time it is summoned. If the psychic armory chooses to reshape the weapons within her panoply, it requires a full-round action to do so per weapon type she chooses to reshape. She may also re-assign the type of damage dealt as part of reshaping her panoply of blades if she so chooses. A psychic armory can reassign the special ability or abilities she has added to her panoply of blades from her enhanced armory class feature. To do so, she must spend 8 hours in concentration. These cannot be the normal 8 hours used for rest, even if the psychic armory does not require sleep. After that period, the panoply of blades materializes with the new ability or abilities selected by the psychic armory.

The psychic armory’s light mind blades deal 1d6 points of damage, the one-handed mind blades deals 1d8 points of damage, and the two-handed mind blades deals 2d6 points of damage. All damages are based on a Medium-sized creature wielding Medium-sized weapons; adjust the weapon damage as appropriate for different sized weapons. In all forms, each mind blade has a critical range of 19-20/x2. A soulknife with powerful build or any similar ability forms appropriately-sized mind blades dealing the size-appropriate amount of damage. A mind blade is considered a magic weapon for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and is considered a masterwork weapon.

The soulknife can use feats such as Power Attack or Combat Expertise in conjunction with a mind blade just as if it were a normal weapon. He can also choose “mind blade” for feats requiring a specific weapon choice, such as Weapon Focus and Improved Critical. Powers or spells that upgrade weapons can be used on a mind blade. The soulknife can use feats such as Weapon Finesse that work on light weapons with his mind blade, but such feats only work on mind blades in a light weapon form.

Even in places where psionic effects do not normally function (such as within a null psionics field), a soulknife can attempt to sustain his mind blades by making a DC 20 Will save. On a successful save, the soulknife maintains his mind blades for a number of rounds equal to his class level before he needs to check again, although the mind blades are treated for all purposes as non-magical, masterwork weapons while in a place where psionic effects do not normally function. On an unsuccessful attempt, the mind blades vanish. As a move action on his turn, the soulknife can attempt a new Will save to rematerialize his mind blades while he remains within the psionics-negating effect. He gains a bonus on Will saves made to maintain or form his mind blades equal to the total enhancement bonus of his mind blades.

The soulknife chooses the appearance of his mind blades, although the shapes must reflect the selections the soulknife has chosen: a bludgeoning mind blade would be blunt, slashing would have an edge, etc.

The psychic armory’s panoply of blades is subject to anything that would affect a mind blade, except crystal hilts. When using the psychic strike class feature, the psychic armory may charge a number of weapons from her panoply of blades of her choice. The panoply of blades may take enhancements as if it were both a melee and a ranged weapon.

This replaces the shape mind blade and form mind blade class features but counts as these class features for prerequisites or requirements

Psychokinetic Combat:
The psychic armory gains the benefits of the Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot feats when using her panoply of blades. This class feature counts as those feats for the purposes of requirements and prerequisites.

This replaces the bonus feat gained at 1st level.

Psychokinetic Throw:
The psychic armory never need touch her blades before psychokinetically hurling them at a target and may make iterative attacks as her base attack bonus allows. As the attack is directed mentally, the psychic armory makes the ranged attack using her Wisdom modifier instead of her Dexterity modifier to determine her ranged attack bonus with her panoply of blades. She adds her Wisdom modifier to damage in place of her Strength. Due to the purely mental nature of how these attacks are made, the psychic armory cannot use Psychokinetic Throw to make off-hand attacks (such as when fighting with two weapons). Feats that modify ranged attacks specifically (such as Deadly Aim and Rapid Shot) function normally for use with the psychic armory’s panoply of blades.

The range and damage of this attack depends on what weapon type is used (light weapons have a range increment of 20 feet and one-handed weapons have a range increment of 15 feet). At 2nd level, the psychic armor gains the Two-Handed Throw blade skill for use with this class feature, allowing the psychic armory to use psychokinetic throw ability with two-handed members of her panoply of blades with a range increment of 10 feet. A psychic armory’s panoply of blades has a maximum range of five range increments.

This replaces the throw mind blade class feature but counts as throw mind blade for prerequisites or requirements.

Swirling Panoply:
The psychic armory may set her panoply of blades spinning and may expend her psionic focus to cause them to explode out around her or at a designated point within medium range (100 feet + 10 feet per psychic armory level) as a standard action. This effect creates a 20-foot-radius explosion of cutting blades that inflicts 1d6 points of slashing and piercing damage per psychic armory level, plus the enhancement bonus of the psychic armory’s panoply of blades to all targets within the blast radius. A successful Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 the psychic armory’s class level + the psychic armory’s Wisdom modifier) will halve this damage. This attack is subject to damage reduction as normal. This uses all of her blades for the round and they return to her panoply the following round. If the psychic armory possesses an energy-based blade skill (such as Fire Blade), she may choose to have her swirling panoply deal half its damage as energy damage of the same type as the energy based blade skill of her choice.

Wild Talent:
The soulknife gains Wild Talent as a bonus feat at 1st level. This provides his with the psionic power necessary to manifest his mind blades. A character who is already psionic instead gains the Psionic Talent feat.

Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even numbered war soul level after that, he can choose to learn a new maneuver in place of one he already knows. In effect, the war soul loses the old maneuver in exchange for the new one. The war soul need not replace the old maneuver with a maneuver of the same level. He can choose a new maneuver of any level he likes, as long as he observes his restriction on the highest-level maneuvers he knows. The war soul can swap only a single maneuver at any given level. A war soul's primary initiator attribute is Wisdom, and each war soul level is counted as a full initiator level.

War Soul New Disciplines – A war soul can trade one of his available disciplines for the Riven Hourglass, Scarlet Throne, or Tempest Gale discipline. If he does not have that discipline’s associated skill as a class skill, he gains it as a class skill.

This ability replaces the psychic strike class feature and the blade skill at 10th level.

Maneuvers Readied:
A war soul can ready all three of his three starting maneuvers, but as he advances in level and learns more maneuvers, he must choose which maneuvers to ready. He readies his maneuvers by meditating over his mind blade for 10 minutes. The maneuvers he chooses remain readied until he decides to repeat this again and change them. War souls do not need to sleep or be well rested to ready their maneuvers; any time he spends 10 minutes in meditation, he can change his readied maneuvers. He begins an encounter with all readied maneuvers unexpended, regardless of how many times he may have already used them since he chose them. When the war soul initiates a maneuver, he expends it for the current encounter, so each of his readied maneuvers can be used once per encounter (until they are recovered, see below).

War souls may recover their maneuvers in one of two ways. The war soul may concentrate on his mind blade to recover an expended maneuver from its psychic projection as a standard action and recover one maneuver. Alternately, he may flood his psychic being with martial knowledge by expending his psionic focus to recover a number of expended maneuvers equal to his Wisdom modifier (minimum of two) as a full round action. While recovering maneuvers, the war soul's mental state makes him react violently to those who would attack him. When attacked, he may make an immediate counter-attack against his attacker at his full base attack bonus; he may only make one counter-attack against a given enemy per round, and he may make no more counter- attacks then his 1 + his Wisdom modifier per round.

Stances Known:
War souls begin play with knowledge of one 1st level stance from any discipline open to them. At the indicated levels (see class table), the war soul selects an additional new stance. Unlike maneuvers, stances are not expended and he does not have to ready them. All the stances he knows are available to him at all times, and he can change the stance he is currently using as a swift action. A stance is an extraordinary ability unless otherwise stated in the stance description. Unlike with maneuvers, the war soul cannot learn a new stance at higher levels in place of one he already knows.

Light Horse (+Riding Saddle, Saddlebags)

Aidan tried to train with his brother, but it didn't suit him. Why only one blade? Surely, if you can create one weapon with your mind, you can create more? So he began his own training - imagining many weapons at once, flying and swirling around him. That took a while and still takes a bit of effort to create all those blades, but it was worth it. Aidan also had to think of fighting techniques that would be beneficial to his style.

He doesn't have a certain goal in mind. Go with the flow, that's his motto. While it's fun, interesting, and adventurous, he'll follow his brother. And if it's not, well. Time will tell.

Despite their attempts to force Tio to "grow up", he continued to assert that his imaginary friend was real, even into his teen years. THey had him work harder, pushing the tough young man with the more arduous tasks around the farm to try and break him of this habit, but to no avail, the long days merely toughening both his resolve and his body. His long hours continued until one day, coming home from the fields, his family's farm was raided by a roving band of Orcs. The stress of combat, and his urge to protect his family, harsh as they were on him, drove Lugan to appear, although a tad smaller than the hulking mass he'd envisioned. Though it wasn't enough to save all of his family, he managed to save his little brother, Aldwin, and his youngest sister, Emma.

He knew they could no longer sustain the farm, and certainly didn't have the funds to hire out help, so he took the last of the money his parents had earned, what little of worth remained in the house, and their old workhorse, and moved to the nearest city. Tio worked odd jobs here and there, spending his free time trying his hand at more artistic pursuits to try and make some extra money, though what little talent he had seemed to be in sculpting, and they hadn't the tools or the materials to make anything worthwhile. He did, however, help any he came across who had found themselves in trouble, stopping many a bar brawl and a mugging with the help of little Lagun.

One of these such cases happened to be a merchant, only a few days before he planned to leave for Jace's Stanchion, his next stop, with many gains to be had. Stumbling back to his inn after a night of overambitious drinking, the merchant had been assailed by a pair of simple thugs. Tio had, likewise, been doing some drinking, though he hadn't the coin to get terribly inebriated. His path crossed that of the merchant at precisely the right time, as he heard the boisterous thug jingling the gold-laden coinpurse and laughing, just before Lagun formed from dust and debris nearby, held together by pure force, and slammed into him from Tio's direction, knocking the fool out cold. The second thug, a tad wiser than the first, was likewise dispatched, though both were left breathing, if only just. The merchant thanked him through slurred speech, asking what he could do to repay the him. Tio noted the man's affluence, and smiled. "Please, make sure my brother and sister are taken care of," he said plainly to the man, and though the merchant agreed, it was at a cost: Tio was to make sure that his journey to Jace's Stanchion went undeterred, and once he was safe at his destination, the children would be directed to a safe, new home. Tio agreed, whether for better or for worse, assuming that such a wealthy man was neither a fool or a cheat, and that he would be able to visit his siblings when he was able, free to do more dangerous, though lucrative, work to grant them a living.

That's how she got into pitfighting. She joined up to get an actual test of her strength, in search of a way to make money and to just maybe get a shot at real fame. It went fairly well, all things considered. She fought well, and over the course of a few years became fairly famous under the moniker 'Adamant'. She also fell in love with a fellow gladiator, a charming dwarf of all things, and together they hatched a scheme to get rich, fixing matches.

They were found out, naturally, and management wasn't happy - Alwin, her dwarven lover was quickly arrested, and she was in hot water, to put it mildly. So she cut her hair, skipped town, and hired onto the first and best caravan looking for muscle. The further from her home it was headed the better, and this caravan was ranging far and wide indeed.

In her effort to ditch her image, she's eschewed the impractical oversized scizore of her training in favor of a similarly oversized, but more practical axe and forgone her reinforced costume in favor of traditional armor. She's changed her gear, but she can't seem to shake the fighting style entirely. She'll forget herself from time to time, and allow her enemy to score hits on her just to show off.

She figures she's level-headed and, with just a few notable exceptions, a good judge of character.
