Soul Kensai

A warrior who focuses her mind on a single weapon only, gaining the ability to manifest such a weapon as a construct of sheer will.

Class: SoulknifeDreamscarred Press

Level: 1st-20th

Replaces: Armor Proficiency, Form Mind Blade (Altered), Shape Mind Blade (Altered), 10th level Blade Skill

Benefit: A soul kensai receive the following class features:

Armor & Shield Proficiency: A soul kensai is not proficient with medium armor (see Nimble below).

Perfected Blade (Ex): A soul kensai gain proficiency and Weapon Focus feat with an light or one-handed melee weapon of her choice. Whenever she shapes her mind blade it must take the form of the chosen weapon, using the weapon's statistic except that it is weightless. She cannot alter the shape of her mind blade to any of its basic shape or another weapon. This mind blade still retains all special abilities granted to a mind blade, such as the ability to alter its damage types or throw it via throw mind blade. The soul kensai counts her soulknife level as fighter level for the purpose of meeting the prerequisites of feat, but only for her chosen weapon.

The soul kensai cannot take the mind armor blade skill, or any blade skills which alters the shape of her mind blade. A soul kensai may not select Weapon Focus (Mind Blade) as a bonus feat at 1st level, but adds Weapon Finesse to the feat list instead.

This alters form mind blade and shape mind blade.

Nimble (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a soul kensai gains a +1 dodge bonus to AC and a +1 bonus on initiative while wearing light or no armor. Anything that causes the soul kensai to lose her Dexterity bonus to AC also causes the soul kensai to lose this dodge bonus. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels beyond 2nd level (to a maximum of +5 at 18th level).

This ability replaces the kensai's proficiency with medium armor and the 10th level blade skill.
