Gonna be playing a SoulKnife in an upcoming Pathfinder Campaign. Starting at lvl 7. Here’s what I have so far…I’m new to Psionics so I have plenty of questions. Forgive my ignorance. :/
With Force Screen and Inertial Armor that effectively puts my AC at +8 when in effect right?
I took Psionic Meditation to ensure I can stay focused more easily. So does that add all of my wisdom modifier (+5 currently) to my attack and damage at all times? Does this bonus also apply to my CMB and my double sliced? (As long as I'm focused and have Focused Offense active?)
Also with taking the bonus to critical hits with my mind blade, I'm not 100% sure how that works either. :( Does that lower the threat range for crits with my mind blade? if so to what?
Can I have focused Offense and Defense active at the same time? I'm not 100% sure how focused Defense works. I have to declare I'm fighting defensively in order to take advantage of it? Or do I have to have the feat Combat Expertise?
Do I still get access to the mind blade enhancements? Which if I understand would be a total of +3 at 6th lvl but -1 for using 2 light weapons. So a total of 2. So they can each have +1 enhancements on them, and can those be different?
Finally, Why did I bother with monk at all? If I plan on fighting with two mindblades and not unarmed, what did monk get me? (Or was it for the AC bonus of +5 from my Wisdom?)
I'm still learning Pathfinder...so the Psionics stuff is really confusing on top of that.
Any suggestions to the build or fixes you see I'd love to hear. Thank you mucho!
