im looking for some balancing advice for an alteration i made to the Gifted Blade (soulknife with manifesting levels).
i love the soulknife and the crusader classes and recently i tried to combine them.
i removed the ability to throw the mind blade, the lvl 1 bonus feat, the blade skills gained at lvl 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and finally reduced the mind blade enhancement bonus by 1.
in place of all that i gave it the Furious Counterstrike and Steely Resolve abilities of the Crusader (tob:bo9s).
i've also been considering limiting their powers known list to only 7 and not have the option of changing the known powers everyday.
