Rule Question: Warsoul / Soulknife.


Advice and Rules Questions


Hello guys.
I have a doubt concerning a class: WarSoul (Archetype SoulKnife).

1)About the psionic points and the maneuvers.
Can you use these points to reload class maneuvers instead of 10 minutes?
If yes with what kind of action?

2)About the Psychic Strike.

"Additionally, she may recharge it as a swift action by expending her psionic focus."

How this psionic focus work? I mean, u can use a p.p. for refresh your focus as free action the next turn or u need a concentration check?

Thanks for your help!

Psionic Focus is described here: www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/feats/ (Towards the bottom of the page)

The War Soul archetype gives up Psychic Strike, so you no longer have access to that ability.

Any Power Points you would get would largely be used to Augment Sleeping Goddess maneuvers.

Regaining maneuvers in-combat is described in the second paragraph of the Maneuvers Readied section. A single maneuver can be recovered via a Standard Action, while expending your Focus as a full-round action recovers WIS mod (minimum 2) worth of maneuvers.

(War Soul archetype is in Path of War (with additions in Path of War: Expanded), base Soulknife is in Psionics Unleashed and updated in Ultimate Psionics)


Most Martial Options for other Classes (like the Barbarian Primal Disciple) have the following Text.

"The maximum level of maneuvers gained through primal disciple levels is limited by those listed in that table as well, although this restriction does not apply to maneuvers added to his maneuvers known through other methods, such as prestige classes or the Advanced Study feat."

Is the War Soul (and the Pathwalker) Archetyp of the Soulknife supposed to have an equal ruling?


Sounds about right for all of the martial initiates, PoW classes included, not just those listed archetypes, SolDeus; another consideration for the lack of such a statement for either the Warsoul or Pathwalker archetypes may be due to the fact that only those two alternate psionic classes were being offered in the very first PoW rulebook ever made by DSP. :)
