Soulknife Sticky Shield


Rules Questions


I have a question. I after the game session last night, one of my players, who is playing a soulknife made a comment that has me confused.

We were talking about the boss fight that the players won. The boss had a special ability that he didn't get a chance to use. He could use his shield as a missile weapon at a 30' range with Return feature (ala Cpt America). I mentioned that I was disappointed that he didn't get a chance to use this.

The soulknife player said if he had done that then the shield would have stuck to his character and the shield would not be able to return.

What was he talking about? I can find no such power available to the soulknife in the SRD, nor have I ever given or approved such a power.


Why not ask him? I can't think of anything myself.

I can't get ahold of him. Question stands.


if he's using the shielded blade archetype it would be a combination of the ranged shield block and grasping shield blade skills which would allow him to make an immediate action to attempt to block the attack with an attack of opportunity and give his sheild an adhesive quality allowing him to effectively disarm the boss of the shield. if, of course, both the block attempt and disarm attempt rolls succeeded


soulknife has a blade skills that improve offhand "psychic shields" and one of them allows disarm i think? probably along those lines
You can look at the class at d20pfsrd.

I thought it was this at first too, but Grasping Shield only disarms melee attacks. So either it's something else or the player is misreading his ability.


I don't know of any other ability off hand... but I don'tk now all the feats in psionics...
I guess if he had the non psionic ability "snatch arrow" techincally he could catch a thrown shield and keep it.
