Soulknife Healer?


Advice and Rules Questions


I've been searching for a way to use the Soulknife psion class (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/classes/soulknife#TOC-Form-Mind -Blade-Su-) to recreate the Arcane Enchanter from Dragon Age: Inquisition.

In short, I'm looking for a way to add a small amount of healing capabilities to this class without sacrificing much of the usefulness of the Mind Blade, or even just add a small amount of any magic to them, without just picking some random spellcaster class to dip into that makes no sense mechanically.

And yes, I've seen the Gifted Blade archetype. It's not quite what I'm looking for, and I am NOT giving up pyschic strike.

Many thanks in advance for suggestions.


Short of WBLmancy I can't think of anything, but you might be better to ask the writers. They hang out at their own forums at Dreamscarred Press or at the Giantitp forums that I've seen.

Fraid that that is the only way.

To heal you need to grab a power, to fuel the power you need power points and manifesting ability.

Elans can sort of give you what you want, by using power points to take hits.

Maybe a smart multiclass with a PrC that boosts your mindblade, like going Soulknife/Vitalist/Dark Tempest?


If you give up psychic strike to the war soul archetype you can take the martial tradition that grants Silver Crane discipline. That discipline has strikes that also heal allies. The extra damage gained from martial maneuvers could make up for the lost psychic strike.
