Editing Soulknife (section)

===The Final Version===

An official Soulknife for 5e debuted in 2020's "Tasha's Cauldron of Everything". Crack open the champagne, because it's not shit! This is a [[Rogue]] subclass and, alongside the [[Psychic Warrior|Psi Warrior]] [[Fighter]] and Aberrant Mind [[Sorcerer (Dungeons & Dragons)|Sorcerer]], represents the official future for [[psionics]] in 5e; no dedicated classes, but instead subclasses for the "standard array" of classes. Like the Psi Warrior, this Soulknife relies on the use of "Psionic Energy dice", which is a pool of d6s equal to twice the Soulknife's Proficiency bonus; class features that require these "psi-dice" can't be used if there are none left in the pool, and the pool replenishes when the Soulknife completes a Long Rest - the Soulknife can also spend a bonus action to regain a single psi-dice once per short rest. Psi-dice increase in values at levels 5 (d8s), 11 (d10s) and 17 (d12s).

At 3rd level, the soulknife gains the features '''Psionic Power''' and '''Psychic Blades'''. Psionic Power is made up of two sub-features; ''Psi-Bolstered Knack'' lets the soulknife spend a psi-dice and add the result to a failed ability check using a skill or tool in which they have proficiency, with the psi-dice only being expended if this turns the result into a success. ''Psychic Whispers'' lets the soulknife forge a temporary 1-mile wide telepathic link with up to Proficiency bonus creatures for psi-dice value hours, so now the wizard can intentionally avoid dropping a fireball on your stealthed ass ''without'' metagaming; this can be done for free once per day, but extra times require spending a single psi-dice each time. For Psychic Blades, the soulknife can manifest psy-blades whenever they take the Attack action; a psy-blade is a simple melee weapon with the Finesse and Thrown (60ft) properties that does 1d6 Psychic damage. After attacking with a psy-blade, the soulknife can then attack with a second psy-blade (this one doing 1d4 damage) as a bonus action.

At 9th level, the '''Soul Blades''' feature is made up of two sub-features. ''Homing Strikes'' is basically Psi-Bolstered Knack, but for missed attacks with psy-blades. ''Psychic Teleportation'' lets the soulknife teleport by expending a psi-dice, with the range being (10 X dice roll result) feet.

13th level gives them the '''Psychic Veil''' feature; the Soulknife can become invisible by spending psi-dice, although the first invisibility of the day is free.

Finally, at 17th level, the '''Rend Mind''' feature lets the Soulknife force a creature hit with a Sneak Attack made with a psy-blade to make a Wisdom save or be Stunned for 1 minute. This can be used once per long rest, or by spending 3 psi-dice.

Fittingly, it makes absolutely no use of mental stats [[derp|despite being psionic]], just like the original Soulknife.
