Created Object Basic Guidelines Needed. Mindblade Weapon Question


Rules Questions


Hoping for a rules check to see if I missed something.

I was looking at using mindblade to flesh out a character, but have come across a lack of information in their weapon creation ability. The ability says the weapon can be up to two handed which rules out things like oversized weapons that can no longer be wielded two handed, but there doesn't seem to be any other limitations.

The weapon is made of psychic energy, but without any guidance for that fluff I'm assuming it acts as a steel or wood weapon with the same hardness and hitpoints. It seems odd to make an aspergillum or lantern staff and fill psychic energy with liquid, or to light a psychic energy torch on fire, but I don't see any guidance for objects made of psychic energy that would say otherwise.

There also doesn't appear to be a limit of proficiency, so in theory a character could make something they didn't know how to wield, or that they wouldn't know how to make. This is probably not a big deal, but gets weird if they start making monowhips.

There doesn't appear to be a limit to the purpose to which the weapon is put either, such as making a kyoketsu shoge and using it as a short rope, or using a aspergillum as a shower. I'm assuming that you can't create an improvised weapon as that would let you create any object up to a certain size, an ability worth noting in the entry.

Some other side cases that I'm unsure of involve modified weapons like weapons with tactically adapted or a sawback sword, or modified objects like spiked shields and armor. Could you summon a spiked shield, or spikes onto your shield. Then there's the question of naturally combined objects like the boulder helmet, the klar, or rosewood armor.
