If you are dead-set on throwing your mind blade, look under Wisdom Styles.įinesse Melee****: Soulknives have proficiency in medium armor, but there are many advantages to a high dexterity score. Stick to throwing your mind blade as a last resort.
Throwing*: While mind blades can be thrown, the blade skill that allows iterative attacks comes online at 14th level, so your damage output beyond 5th level is abysmal in comparison to a different class. Grappling*: Soulknifes make for poor grapplers, with very little support for the style. However, a Deadly Fist can apply the features of their archetype to all natural weapons they possess. The Feral Heart’s abilities only work with the natural weapons produced by the archetype, which is limited to a pair of claws and a bite. If werewolves aren't your thing, there are two other options: the mediocre archetype that grants natural weapons, the Feral Heart and the unarmed archetype, Deadly Fist, which is surprisingly good when fighting with natural weapons. Natural Weapons*****: The Moonlight Meditant is a werewolf-themed soulknife that is unmatched with natural weapons, gaining accelerated enhancement bonuses relative to the other archetypes and a number of powerful abilities that assist this style. There is a debate to be had over whether this style is better with Str or Wis. Unarmed****: The default soulknife has some support for unarmed combat and the Deadly Fist archetype turns the soulknife into a good unarmed combatant. However, a Dexterity or Wisdom-based soulknife will probably do better with this style. Sword and Board****: The Shielded Blade archetype gives a scaling shield and weapon, which yields itself towards a defensive style of play, best utilized with a reach weapon. Two handing your mind blade will likely be the best option for a Strength-based soulknife. Two Handed*****: The classic go-to for melee fighting and soulknives are no different. Thus, Strength will usually still be the superior option for a Brutality Blade.) (While a soulknife can technically use Charisma as their primary combat stat, the archetype that allows this, Brutality Blade, also grants Strength boosting abilities.
Thankfully, the soulknife can excel in multiple combat styles, with five different abilities available to act as the combat stat: Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. Soulknives are primarily martial characters, despite being a psionic class, with a heavy combat focus and a sprinkling of out of combat utility.
