The Following were submissions to Dreamscarred Press for additions for the Soulknife Class. But because GitP gets more attention then the DSP forum, I have decided to post my submissions here aswell. Originally I had two Blade Skills and three feats, but it soon became apparent that the other blade skill could better be implemented by creating custom augment crystals.

New Blade Skill:

Weapon Special, Improved: In addition to the specials granted by the weapon special blade skill, the soulknife may add any other special weapon feature to her mind blade as she forms it such as blocking (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/weapons#wpn-quality-blocking) performance (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/weapons#wpn-quality-performance) or monk (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/weapons#wpn-quality-monk). A soulknife must have the weapon special blade skill to choose this blade skill.

New Feats:

AMATEUR SOULKNIFE [PSIONIC]:
As a move action, you can form a semi-solid weapon composed of psychic energy distilled from her own mind. This functions as the soulknifes form mind blade (Su) ability and you are considered as having the blade skill class feature only for the purposes of meeting feat prerequisites. Any and all blade skills that you have or gain that could apply to a mind blade may be applied to the mind blade granted by this feat. However, the mind blades enhancement bonus does not increase through levels in soulknife.

AMATEUR SOULBOLT [PSIONIC]:
As a move action, you can form a semi-solid weapon composed of psychic energy distilled from her own mind. This functions as the soulknife archetype soulbolts form mind bolt (Su) ability and you are considered as having the blade skill class feature only for the purposes of meeting feat prerequisites. Any and all blade skills that you have or gain that could apply to a mind bolt may be applied to the mind bolt granted by this feat. However, the mind bolts enhancement bonus does not increase through levels in soulknife.

AMATEUR SOULARMOR [PSIONIC]:
As a move action, you can form a semi-solid armor composed of psychic energy distilled from her own mind. This functions as the soulknife archetype armored blades form mind armaments (Su) ability, except that you do not acquire the ability to form a mind blade. You are considered as having the blade skill class feature only for the purposes of meeting feat prerequisites. Any and all blade skills that you have or gain that could apply to a mind armaments may be applied to the mind armaments granted by this feat. However, the mind armaments enhancement bonus does not increase through levels in soulknife.

New Magical Equipment:

Soul Augment Crystal (least)
prerequisite: Must be attached to a Masterwork or +1 Magic Item.
A Soulknife with the appropriate class feature becomes proficient with the item and may treat the item as created by the soulknife for purposes of applying feats, blade skills and class features. Those that can form mindblades may attach the augment crystal may attach it to Melee weapons. Those that can form mindbolts may attach it to ranged weapons. Those that can form mind armaments may attach it to armor. Those that can form mind shields may attach it to shields. etc etc.

Soul Augment Crystal (moderate)
prerequisite: Must be attached to a +3 Magic Item or Lower.
A Soulknife with the appropriate class feature becomes proficient with the item and and may treat the item as created by the soulknife for purposes of applying feats, blade skills and class features. Those that can form mindblades may attach the augment crystal may attach it to Melee weapons. Those that can form mindbolts may attach it to ranged weapons. Those that can form mind armaments may attach it to armor. Those that can form mind shields may attach it to shields. etc etc.

Soul Augment Crystal (greater)
prerequisite: Must be attached to a +5 Magic Item or Lower.
A Soulknife with the appropriate class feature becomes proficient with the item and may treat the item as created by the soulknife for purposes of applying feats, blade skills and class features. Those that can form mindblades may attach the augment crystal may attach it to Melee weapons. Those that can form mindbolts may attach it to ranged weapons. Those that can form mind armaments may attach it to armor. Those that can form mind shields may attach it to shields. etc etc.


Just to be clear if it wasn't already, the the following are the things that the augment crystals do and do not apply to:

Do:
Grant Proficiency with the augmented item
Allow use of blade skills with the augmented item.

Do Not:
Allow you to add your soulknife enhancements (bonus or specials) to the augmented item.
Allow you to create or manifest the the augmented item as a soulknife.

Enchanted Crystalline Focus Items
Enchanted Crystalline Focus Items work identical to Crystalline Focus Items except that rather than adding only an enhancement bonus to the designated equipment formed by the Soulknife or Aegis, it may instead grant an item enhancement not normally available to the soulknife or aegis. For example Crystal Spaulders of Quickness (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/equipment/psionic-items/psionic-armor-and-shields#TOC-Quickness) would grant the Aegis or Armored Blade the Quickness Armor Ability instead of a +1 Enhancement Bonus. Whereas a Power Storing (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/equipment/psionic-items/psionic-weapons#TOC-Power-Storing) Dissipater (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/equipment/psionic-items/psionic-weapons#TOC-Dissipater) Crystal Hilt will grant the Dissipator and Power Storing Weapon Ability instead of a +2 Enhancement Bonus to a mindblade. A character with the Craft Magical Arms and Armor feat may exchange an enhancement bonus from a Crystalline Focus item for an equal number of abilities with the same enhancement bonus value. i.e. You may trade a +2 enhancement bonus for a +2 ability or two +1 abilities. The abilities traded into the Crystalline Focus Items do not have to be Psionic.
