]]> 0 Weapons of the Split Soul Part 3: Paragon Path and Feats Weapons of the Split Soul Part 3


Here's the final (for now) part of my Split Soul Soulknife series: A paragon path and some feats.  Enjoy! 

Twin Soul Master

Prerequisites: Soulknife, Shape Mind Weapon Power

    Most split soul soulknifes who recklessly undergo the process of splitting their soul to have it manifest in two specific parts end up with schizophrenic personalities as their divided soul conflicts and wars within them.  However, for those who seek true mastery over the split soul style, the two souls must regain some of their former harmony and the ability to work together.  Their souls are two equal and powerful parts that form together into a dedicated whole.

   The Twin Soul Masters have dedicated themselves to achieving this serenity.  Their soul weapons sing in perfect harmony as they work together to decimate their foes.    They seem to move with inhuman grace, seemingly aware of more than what thier senses could normally focus on.  While many are still boisterous and flamboyant, they move fluidly and swiftly.  Watching a true Twin Soul Master can be baffling, as often the two blades spin at such speed that it's hard to tell where one ends and the next begins.  This confounds their enemies and makes it almost certain that at least one blow will connect.

   While most Twin Soul Masters have the Weapon of the Split Soul, it's possible for soulknifes who manifest other mind weapons to follow this path.  By developing a strong sense of identity, they can temporarily split thier souls without fear of the chaos and neurosis that typically accompany the process.

Twin Soul Master Features

Balanced Soulsteel (Level 11): One-handed melee weapons you create using Shape Mind Weapon gain the off-hand property.

Harmonic Action (Level 11): While you wield two mind weapons, you may spend an action point to make a basic attack with both your off-hand and main hand weapons as a free action instead of taking an extra action.  If both hit, you regain 2 power points.

Paragon Power Points (Level 11): You gain two additional power points.

No Foe Left Unscathed (Level 16): Once per encounter, when you wield two mind weapons and end your turn without having damaged an enemy, you may make a melee basic attack with an off-hand weapon as a free action.  If you do so, you are dazed until the start of your next turn.

Twin Soul Master Powers

Overwhelming Lunge              Twin Soul Master Attack 11
Your enemy is suprised by a forceful blow from your off-hand weapon.
Encounter       -         Augmentable, Force, Psionic, Weapon
Standard Action                  Melee weapon 
Requirement: You must be wielding two mind weapons.
Target: One creature.
Attack: Dexterity vs. Fortitude (off-hand weapon)
Hit: 3[W] + Dexterity modifier damage.
Special: You may use this power as a melee basic attack.
Augment 2:
     Special: As above, and if you would make this attack as a free, immediate or opportunity action, you may make it as no action instead.

Masterful Parry          Twin Soul Master Utility 12
Your secondary soul covers a hole in your defense with a tactical thrust.
Daily          -    Psionic
Immediate Interrupt         Personal
Requirement: You must be wielding two mind weapons.
Trigger: You are hit by creature with a melee attack.
Effect: Make a melee basic attack with your off-hand weapon against the triggering creature.   If you hit, your attack deals no damage but reduce the damage from the triggering attack by an amount equal to the damage you would deal with your basic attack.  If you miss, you regain the use of this power but can't use it again this encounter.

Harmony of the Two Souls           Twin Soul Master Attack 20
Your first weapon's attack was but a prelude to the assult from its twin.
Daily         -      Psionic, Weapon
Free Action       Melee weapon 
Requirement: You must be wielding two mind weapons.
Trigger: You hit or miss a creature with your main hand weapon.
Target: The triggering creature.
Effect: Make two melee basic attacks with your off-hand weapon against that enemy.  They each do half damage on a miss.

New Soulknife Feats

These feats are geared to support the Split Soul build, but many are open to Soulknifes of all types.  Split Soul Soulknifes would also probably do well to take feats from the Two-Weapon fighting tree, as they should easily qualify for them.

Heroic Tier Feats


Balanced Souls 
Prerequisite: Soulknife

By focusing equally on both Soul Weapons, you can empower them beyond their normal capacity.

Benefit: When you wield two identical Soul Weapons, increase both of their damage dice by one size.

Dependable Second
Prerequisite: Soulknife

Your attacks with your off-hand weapon come as second nature.

Benefit:  You gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls with basic attacks with your off-hand weapon.

Split Soul Defense
Prerequisite: Soulknife, Weapons of the Split Soul

Your split soul makes it hard for others to manipulate your mind.

Benefit: You may roll twice on all saving throws against effects that would render you dazed, stunned, or dominated.

Paragon Tier Feats


Alloyed Soul Weapon
Prerequisite: Level 11, Soulknife, Mind Weapon Class Feature

You have spent time getting your Soul Weapon to manifest in a unique way which can emulate another style.

Benefit: Choose a Mind Weapon that you do not possess.  You do not gain the normal benefits associated with that mind weapon but when you deal the extra damage from your mind weapon class feature you may choose for it to be either its normal type or the type associated with the Mind Weapon option you chose with this feat.  In addition, when you score a critical hit and would trigger an effect from your Mind Weapon class feature, you may forgo that effect to instead trigger the effect from the type of mind weapon you chose with this feat.

Second Thought
Prerequiste: Soulknife, Weapons of the Split Soul

You can integrate attacks in with your off-hand weapon no matter the way you're fighting.

Benefit: Once per round, when you use an augmentable power and are wielding two Mind Weapons, you may use the following augment in place of the normal augment options:

      Augment 2
      Effect: After this attack has resolved all other effects, make a melee basic     attack as a free action with your off-hand weapon.

Epic Tier Feat

Greater Alloyed Soul Weapon
Prerequisite:  Level 21, Soulknife, Alloyed Soul Weapon Feat

Your Soul Knife manifests the best of two types.

Benefit: The extra damage from your Mind Weapon class feature is the type associated with the Mind Weapon you chose for Alloyed Soul Weapon in addition to its normal types.  When you score a critical hit with your Mind Weapon and would normally trigger an effect from your Mind Weapon class feature, you also gain the benefit normally associated with the weapon chosen for your Alloyed Soul Weapon feat in addition to the critical hit's normal effects.

]]> 0 Weapon of the Split Soul Part 1: Class Feature and Heroic Tier Powers Soulknife Build: Weapons of the Split Soul 

Part 1:


  The #1 response I've gotten on my Soulknife is that it needs a two-weapon fighting build. MediumD looked at the problem through a simple feat, but I think there's enough space for a whole new build. The goal of the new build is to provide a play experience different from the original soulknife and other two weapons fighting build while remaining fun and balanced.  The build has themes of melee basic attacks with off-hand weapons and multiattacks that boost accuracy more than pure damage.  They should compare pretty well with the rest of the class and other balanced multiattack powers.  Please provide feedback on the discussion thread.

New Class Feature


 You may choose Weapons of the Split Soul as your mind weapon rather than the Pure Blade or Weapon of Light.

Weapons of the Split Soul

   In hushed tones and ancient texts, some young Soulknives discover tales of psychic warriors who gained great power by allowing thier souls to be fractured in two.  Through this secret technique, a Soulknife could focus on both primary and secondary attacks at once, as each half of the soul would be directing different movements.  While any Soulknife may decide to shape two soul weapons, the split-soul soulknife focuses on this technique above all others, refining it into a true art.  The turbulence from the divided energy of the soul pulling apart creates powerful force around the weapons of a split-soul soulknife.  When an enemy is exposed directly to the severed soul, it creates an opening for a fleet strike from the secondary soul guided off-hand weapon.

  Splitting one's soul is not without consequence, however.  A split-soul soulknife often switches between vastly different personalities as each half of the soul fights for dominance.  They are extremely volitile and chaotic and prone to extreme mood swings.  It is difficult for them to maintain much self-discipline and they tend to be even more impulsive than Pure Soul soulknifes.  Still, the power that they hold is undeniable, leading many to seek this path regardless of consequence.

Benefit: You deal extra force damage on all attacks using your mind weapons equal to your Charisma modifier.  This damage increases to your Charisma modifier +2 at 11th level and your Charisma modifier +4 at 21st level.  Also, once per round, when you are wielding a melee weapon in each hand and you score a critical hit with your mind weapon, you may make a basic attack with your off-hand weapon as a free action.
 

New Heroic Powers

These new powers are designed for the Weapons of the Split Soul Soulknife, but any soulknife can make use of them by switching to a two-weapon fighting style as a free action using Shape Mind Weapon.  Pure Blade soulknives are especially known for shaping two mind weapons to use one of these powers before changing back to a single weapon or a weapon and shield on thier next turn.  Weapon of Light soulknives do not often divide thier focus between two soul weapons, but a rare few manage to find balance and discipline enough to do so.

Grazing Flurry              Soulknife Attack 1
