Soul-Knife (Epic Level Campaign)


Advice


Okay so my DM is running a 40th level campaign where we are supposed to play a character we have played before.

The character I would like to play is from a 3.5 campaign and she was a Soul-Knife. So of course I'm making her as a Soul-Knife again, just in Pathfinder this time.

Now you might guess where I'm running into the problem.

Soul-Knife in Pathfinder is different enough that the epic level progression from 3.5 for Soul-Knife doesn't work at all.

You might say - hey kid - just go Multi-Class, which I would totally do if it wasn't for the fact that it would make Soul-Knife entirely pointless.

The whole point of Soul-Knife was that you have a weapon that levels with you - by 20th level your blade is on par with anything the other classes will buy. But of course if I stop taking Soul-Knife the blade stops leveling up.

I imagine you see my problem.

So does anyone have suggestions for how to convert the 3.5 Soul-Knife epic progression or do you know of any prestige classes that would keep my weapons counting as useful.


I'm going to guess no one has ideas then eh?

Pathfinder doesn't seem to have any epic material yet, and most people I've spoken say the system starts to fray around the edges around level 15 or so. However, for a start, you should check the update of the psionic classes Dreamscarred press did for PF. You can find the crunch of it on the pathfinder SRD site (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/classes/soulknife)

Yup been there! I think maybe I'll try to work out an epic progression with my DM.

Because it's kind of like trying to equip for FTL travel. There's no such thing as cohesive set of data on how a 40th level campaign is going to run. For all we know it could be rocket tag where the first person on intitiative annihilates everyone else.

Truth of the matter is.... you're in unexplored territory with every above 20 campagin that someone runs. You're on your own.
