Shadowblade
A shadowblade is a ninja that forgoes sneak attack, rather relying on flashes of psychic inspirations and weapons made entirely of her own ki.
Class: Ninja
Level: 1st-20th
Replaces: Sneak Attack
Benefit: A shadowblade gain the following class features:
Combat-Trained (Ex): A shadowblade gains a single [combat] feat she qualifies for at 1st level. A shadowblade counts her base attack bonus as equal to her ninja level for the purpose of meeting prerequisites, if higher.
This ability replaces the sneak attack dice gained at 1st level.
Ki Weapon (Su): A 2nd level shadowblade is capable of forming weapons out of her ki. This functions as the ability to create weapons of the mindblade magus's psychic pool ability, except the shadowblade draws from her ki pool rather than her psychic pool.
At 7th level she can manifest her ki weapon as a swift action, and as a free action at 11th level.
Psychic Strike (Su): A 3rd level shadowblade gain the Psychic Strike class feature of a soulknife of her class level. A shadowblade can imbue any weapons with her psychic strike instead of only a mind blade. Additionally a shadowblade can imbue a weapon with a psychic strike as a free action by spending 1 point of ki.
A shadowblade counts as a psionic creature for the purpose of qualifying for feats which alter or improve her psychic strike.
This ability replaces any further instances of sneak attack.
Flash of Insight (Ex): When a 5th level shadowblade uses her psychic strike, she gains a +2 insight bonus on all attack rolls and damage rolls she makes until the start of her next turn, including the attacks augmented by psychic strike. This bonus increases by 1 at 9th level and each 4 levels thereafter.
