So I was looking through the new archetypes for Soulknife and found that two of them could be combined, Armored Blade (https://sites.google.com/site/pathfinderogc/psionics-unleashed/classes/soulknife/archetypes/dreamscarred-press/armored-blade) and Shielded Blade (https://sites.google.com/site/pathfinderogc/psionics-unleashed/classes/soulknife/archetypes/dreamscarred-press/shielded-blade) (I think). But what really caught my attention was all the Shield oriented Blade Skills that actually seem pretty interesting. Combined with the Armored Blade, you could get some pretty nice AC for seemingly no cost (You still get your blade right?).
The Mind Shield based Blade Skills (https://sites.google.com/site/pathfinderogc/psionics-unleashed/classes/soulknife/blade-skills)
- Deadly Shield: Allows one to apply Weapon Enchantments onto the Shield
- Grasping Shield: Once Per Round Disarm maneuver against anyone who misses you in Melee.
- Shield Block: Attack Roll to avoid a Melee attack that would have hit you.
- Whiplash: Toss your Mind Shield at an enemy and damage other enemies when you return the shield back.
So I was wondering, could this be a better Captain America than the Ranger?
