Soul knife question
Quick question. Under the soul knife quick draw ability, it says that you can only manifest a mindblade once per round. The normal move action shaping of mindblades doesn't mention this limit. So can you expend multiple move actions to manifest a mindblade more than once, or are you capped at just once per turn period?

Re: Soul knife question
The SRD cuts out a lot of rules text because they were overzealous to not get hit with copyright infringement. The full ability description:

As a move action on his turn, the soulknife can attempt a new Will save to rematerialize his mind blade while he remains within the psionics-negating effect.
The Multiple Throw ability is redundant and I recommend ruling it as a standard action or, as a literal read would suggest, as free extra attacks in a round.Last edited by Darg; 2022-06-28 at 11:51 PM.

Re: Soul knife question
Thank you very much for the clarification. I was actually going to use it in an Iajutsu build. My DM ruled that manifesting a mind blade counts as drawing a weapon, so being able to draw, strike, free action dismiss, repeat.

Re: Soul knife question
Oh, that's a clever trick! I'm tempted to brew something up using that.
