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
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
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.
