So I finally cracked and decided to make a tome of battle class. Mindwielders use their skill with blades or even their bare hands to deliver impossibly powerful attacks. However, the price they pay is having maneuvers limited in level, and restricted much like spells are.
Enjoy!

Alignment: Any
Hit Die: 1d8
Class Skills:
The mindwielder's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (str), Concentration (con), Craft (int), Decipher Script (int), Jump (str), Knowledge (all skills, taken individually) (int), Ride (dex), Sense Motive (wis), Spellcraft (int) and Swim (str).
Skill Points at 1st Level: (2 + Int modifier) × 4
Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 2 + Int modifier
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Mindwielders are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, as well as all armors and shields (except tower shields).
Maneuvers: A mindwielder uses maneuvers which are drawn from the mind's edge discipline (only available to mindwielders), which contains some maneuvers so simple as to be treated as zero-level, but only goes up to fifth level. A mindwielder's initiator level is equal to his class level and the Difficulty Class for a saving throw against his maneuver is 10 + the maneuver level + your Int modifier.
You cannot recover maneuvers except at the beginning of each day you can initiate only a certain number of maneuvers of each maneuver level per day, but you receive bonus manuevers per day if you have a high Intelligence score just as though you cast spells (see Table 1—1: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells, page 8 of the Player's Handbook).
Manuevers Known: You begin play knowing two 0-level maneuver and two 1st-level maneuvers, chosen from the mind's edge discipline. You also know one additional 0-level spell for each point of Intelligence bonus.
Each time you gain a new class level, you learn one additional maneuver of any level you can initiate, again chosen from the mind's edge discipline.
Upon reaching 5th level, and at every subsequent odd-numbered level, you can choose to learn a new maneuver in place of one you already know. In effect, you lose access to the old maneuver in exchange for gaining the new one. The new maneuver's level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level maneuver you can initiate.
You need not ready maneuvers in advance. You can initiate any maneuver you know at any time, assuming you have not yet used up your maneuvers per day for that maneuver level.
Because mindwielder maneuvers are difficult in heavy armour, you provoke an attack of opportunity (but can initiate defensively just like a caster could cast defensively) and suffer from arcane spell failure even if you're not an arcane spellcaster. However, you ignore the penalties for light armour and light shields. At 2nd level, you get a +4 bonus on your roll to prevent attacks of opportunity. At 4th level, you can ignore the penalties for medium armour, and at 7th you can do so for heavy shields.
Mindwielder maneuvers are all spell-like in nature, so some of them (which specify this) allow spell resistance (use your initiator level, not your caster level). They require verbal and somatic components as though they were spells (even though most spell-like abilities and maneuvers don't have them).
Spell-like abilities (Sp): You have a few spell-like abilities from your magical training, and can use the spell-like powers dancing lights, detect magic, flare, ghost sound, and read magic a combined total of times per day equal to 3 + your Int modifier.
Bladebound Strike (Su): From 3rd level, you can use any strike that would require you to touch an enemy with a weapon instead as a single standard action, so long as the strike doesn't take longer than that to initiate. If you hit, the weapon deals damage and then the maneuver is resolved.
From 13th level you can use a strike as a full-round action and deliver it in the same manner as a full attack, affecting each target struck once. The strike then ends, even if it had a duration.
Sudden Initiation: Once per day per 5 levels, you can initiate a maneuver as a swift action, even if you would normally
Defeat Resistance: Starting at 6th level, you can more easily overcome the spell resistance of any opponent you successfully injure with a melee attack. If you have injured an opponent with a melee attack, you gain a +2 bonus on your initiator level check to overcome spell resistance for the remainder of the encounter. This bonus increases to +3 at 11th level, to +4 at 16th level, and to +5 at 18th level.

Ybgib's Perfect Assault
Mind's Edge Strike [Force]
Level: Mindwielder 5
Prerequisites: INT 15
Ybgib's greatest weapon is this: the power to whack enemies with a protective barrier.
Ybgib's Perfect Assault works just like Ybgib's Perfect Defence, but can attack enemies. Its attack bonus equals your initiator level plus your intelligence, +11 from its own strength, and -1 for being large. When it hits, it deals 1d8+11 damage and each damaged creature must take a fortitude save or be stunned for one round. It can also bull rush with a +15 bonus on the strength check, or just get in the way like Ybgib's Perfect Defence. Either way, changing what the barrier is doing or to whom is a move action.
Enjoy!

Alignment: Any
Hit Die: 1d8
Class Skills:
The mindwielder's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (str), Concentration (con), Craft (int), Decipher Script (int), Jump (str), Knowledge (all skills, taken individually) (int), Ride (dex), Sense Motive (wis), Spellcraft (int) and Swim (str).
Skill Points at 1st Level: (2 + Int modifier) × 4
Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 2 + Int modifier
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Mindwielders are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, as well as all armors and shields (except tower shields).
Maneuvers: A mindwielder uses maneuvers which are drawn from the mind's edge discipline (only available to mindwielders), which contains some maneuvers so simple as to be treated as zero-level, but only goes up to fifth level. A mindwielder's initiator level is equal to his class level and the Difficulty Class for a saving throw against his maneuver is 10 + the maneuver level + your Int modifier.
You cannot recover maneuvers except at the beginning of each day you can initiate only a certain number of maneuvers of each maneuver level per day, but you receive bonus manuevers per day if you have a high Intelligence score just as though you cast spells (see Table 1—1: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells, page 8 of the Player's Handbook).
Manuevers Known: You begin play knowing two 0-level maneuver and two 1st-level maneuvers, chosen from the mind's edge discipline. You also know one additional 0-level spell for each point of Intelligence bonus.
Each time you gain a new class level, you learn one additional maneuver of any level you can initiate, again chosen from the mind's edge discipline.
Upon reaching 5th level, and at every subsequent odd-numbered level, you can choose to learn a new maneuver in place of one you already know. In effect, you lose access to the old maneuver in exchange for gaining the new one. The new maneuver's level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level maneuver you can initiate.
You need not ready maneuvers in advance. You can initiate any maneuver you know at any time, assuming you have not yet used up your maneuvers per day for that maneuver level.
Because mindwielder maneuvers are difficult in heavy armour, you provoke an attack of opportunity (but can initiate defensively just like a caster could cast defensively) and suffer from arcane spell failure even if you're not an arcane spellcaster. However, you ignore the penalties for light armour and light shields. At 2nd level, you get a +4 bonus on your roll to prevent attacks of opportunity. At 4th level, you can ignore the penalties for medium armour, and at 7th you can do so for heavy shields.
Mindwielder maneuvers are all spell-like in nature, so some of them (which specify this) allow spell resistance (use your initiator level, not your caster level). They require verbal and somatic components as though they were spells (even though most spell-like abilities and maneuvers don't have them).
Spell-like abilities (Sp): You have a few spell-like abilities from your magical training, and can use the spell-like powers dancing lights, detect magic, flare, ghost sound, and read magic a combined total of times per day equal to 3 + your Int modifier.
Bladebound Strike (Su): From 3rd level, you can use any strike that would require you to touch an enemy with a weapon instead as a single standard action, so long as the strike doesn't take longer than that to initiate. If you hit, the weapon deals damage and then the maneuver is resolved.
From 13th level you can use a strike as a full-round action and deliver it in the same manner as a full attack, affecting each target struck once. The strike then ends, even if it had a duration.
Sudden Initiation: Once per day per 5 levels, you can initiate a maneuver as a swift action, even if you would normally
Defeat Resistance: Starting at 6th level, you can more easily overcome the spell resistance of any opponent you successfully injure with a melee attack. If you have injured an opponent with a melee attack, you gain a +2 bonus on your initiator level check to overcome spell resistance for the remainder of the encounter. This bonus increases to +3 at 11th level, to +4 at 16th level, and to +5 at 18th level.
