    Default Half-Giant question

    so do you think a Half-Giant would make a decent soulknife/soulbow considering they can use weapons one size larger then normal?

    Can mind blades be any size? Or are they keyed to yours?

    Unless your taking the racial sub-levels from I want to say Hyperconscious, your mindblade is based off of your size, so no large mindblade for you.

    But since Powerful Build treats you as a size larger when it would be beneficial I would assume that you could also gain it for the mindblade size.

    Powerful Build treats you as one size larger for a select few things. As there is no mentioning of mindblades, RAW, you get stuck with one of your size.

    Of course, ask your DM. It wouldn't be a bad houserule to let a powerful build Soulknife use a larger weapon. But RAW seems to be against it.
    It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.

    If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).

    The best answer is always to ask your DM.
    Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.
