    Default Can a soulbow gain psionic focus?

    In order for a soulbow to use the phase arrow ability, she must have psionic focus. However, to gain psionic focus, a character must have at least one power point. Neither the soulbow prestige class, nor the soulknife(which is the only psionic class required to become a soulbow) grants power points.

    So can a soulbow (who only has what is absolutely required to become a soulbow) gain psionic focus and use the soulbow ability phase arrow?

    Soulknives do gain a single power point. It's a free feat at level 1: Wild Talent

    I would read RAW as a no, but I would say RAI that makes no sense. You would need to take a feat or have a race that grants a PP.

    Soulkinfe 1 grants the Wild Talent feat, which grants 2 power points.

    Your mind wakes to a previously unrealized talent for psionics.
    Benefit

    Your latent power of psionics flares to life, conferring upon you the designation of a psionic character. As a psionic character, you gain a reserve of 2 power points and can take psionic feats, metapsionic feats, and psionic item creation feats. You do not, however, gain the ability to manifest powers simply by virtue of having this feat.
    So yes, RAW a Soulbow can gain Psionic Focus. There's no problem there.
