So far all weapons have a Threat range and damage multiplier. What gets multiplied with Mind Blade/Bolt? It is the base weapon/size of the blade/bolt or do you add its enhancements or other bonus from feats and manuevers?

Ex: Mind Blade
Light- 1d6 TR19x2 = Crit damage x2
1-handed 1d8 TR19x2 = Crit damage x2
2-handed 1d10 TR19x2 = Crit damage x2

Ex: Mind Blade +1
Light- 1d6 TR19x2 = Crit damage +1 x2
1-handed 1d8 TR19x2 = Crit damage +1 x2
2-handed 1d10 TR19x2 = Crit damage +1 x2

Ex: Mind Blade +1 Shock
Light- 1d6 TR19x2 = Crit damage +1d6 (shock) +1 x2
1-handed 1d8 TR19x2 = Crit damage +1d8 (shock) +1 x2
2-handed 1d10 TR19x2 = Crit damage +1d10 (shock) +1 x2

Ex: Mind Blade +1 Shock with Point-blank Shot a2 30'
Light- 1d6 TR19x2 = Crit damage +1d6 (shock) +1 +1 (PBS) x2
1-handed 1d8 TR19x2 = Crit damage +1d8 (shock) +1 +1 (PBS) x2
2-handed 1d10 TR19x2 = Crit damage +1d10 (shock) +1 +1 (PBS) x2

Ex: Mind Blade +1 Shock while charging
Light- 1d6 TR19x2 = Crit damage +1d6 (shock)+ Charge dmg +1 x2
1-handed 1d8 TR19x2 = Crit damage +1d8 (shock)+ Charge dmg +1 x2
2-handed 1d10 TR19x2 = Crit damage +1d10 (shock)+ Charge dmg +1 x2


I have some questions on how to optimize the Soulbolt.

It never occurred to me before but, does the emulated weapon for the Blade Skill "Emulated Ranged Weapon" need the following to properly fire the mind bolt?

For Emulated bows and Cross bows: Does the user still have to draw the bow?

For Cross bows: Do they have the action penalties to reload it to fire another shot?

Other wise at higher levels with multiple shots and feats like rapid shot, Soulbolts ranged attacks seems to function like semi automatic rifle with the mind bolt just appearing in/at/on the weapon.

I have some questions on how to optimize the Soulbolt.

1) Emulate Ranged Weapon blade skill: It says you can emulate one ranged weapon. Now I assume that the weapon emulated is one of appropriate size to the user (a one handed or two handed ranged weapon). Is there a way to emulate two ranged weapons, say a pair of Light Cross-bows or Hand Cross-bows?

2) Emulate Ranged Weapon blade skill (Bows/X-bows), Focused Offense blade skill and Focus Shot feat.Do these stack.
Ex: Emulate (Light Cross-bow) 1d8 + Int Mod + Wis mod + etc = X

3) Double Shot blade skill: It says that as a standard action use Psychic Strike to make two ranged attacks,but fore go the extra damage. Do both attacks have to be at the same target? If used as part of a full attack action, does each attack get the extra attack?
Ex: Rapid Shot as full action with Double Shot = four ranged attacks

4) Can you use Psychic Strike and Psionic Shot together in the same attack roll; with multiple attacks can you use Psychic Strike on one shot and Psionic Shot on the other?

5) Double Shot blade skill and Psionic Shot feat: does the extra damage for Psionic Shot apply to both, therefore also apply to question 3?

Using the Advanced Races book I made a natural Telekinetic human. and gave him Telekinetic Force, Bolt and Hustle as at will Psi-like abilities. The group average Level is 5. Now I know that you can only multi attack as a full action. However Telekinetic Force/Thrust says I can fling 1 thing per level as a standard action. Round one I move and use Bolt and make ammo, next turn I use Telekinetic Thrust to volley the ammo I made the round before. Is this a viable way to get past the use full action to to make multi attacks?

Round 1: make ammo
Round two: volley
repeat.
