"The speed of our mind allows us to outstrip the boundaries set by our bodies...We are the future, embrace it in your cold dream" - Jeila the Swift

Quick and precise, these beings are a terror on the battlefield, moving like a swift, sharp wind through the lines of their enemies, one can tell that this style was developed by the elves. Ancient traditions date back to Aeons past, this gives a normal warrior the speed and power that one would never acheive through their mortal Frames. The only ones that are able to do this style well are Humans because of their natural talent for adapting...and the ones which originally developed it.

Blade WindPsychic Strike (Su): As a move action, a soulknife of 1st level or higher can imbue his weapon with destructive psychic energy.

Maybe you forgot something?

Looks nice!
Maybe you could change the AC bonus from a deflection to a dodge bonus. And maybe also racial restrictions should be included in the requirements. This looks more like a PrC for Elves than for Dwarves, Baazrags or Goliaths.

damn: yeah i thought i got everything: my bad; i didn't feel like typing it all out so i took it from the SRD; i thought it migh tbe cool if they weren't actually "skilled" but used this as a crutch: thought bab would be possibly too high considering all the class abilities; i imagined the ac to be something akin to a shield bonus or a generic bonus so that it stacks. I picture the object about to strike him loosing momentum instead of actually giving him skill at dodging it or an insight bonus...but the insight bonus kinda works...i don't know; i have yet to think it all over

Considering the psionic requirements why not use mechanic of the psionic focus for the Psychic Strike ability?

Does the Martial Fury ability apply a -2 penalty on all attacks, or just the bonus one? You aren't clear in your wording on that. I assume it applies to all of them.

You don't need to list the same AC bonus mulitple times. Also, you appear to have accidentally listed the 1st AC +3 as +4.

The bonus feats seem a bit much. The class is appealing and worth taking even without them.

Not that I do not think the idea is cool, because it has something to it, but this PrC does not really do it for me.

But I would like to point out again that the right format would do wonders for it in presentation here on the board. :D

any advice/editting is much appreciated...If you could help me get the "process" down, i'd be more than thankful. I'm currently reading some fluff for some Draj PrC's...any help would be appreciated because i'm sure there are many more people that know MUCH more about Draj then me. To my Glug seems to be the retarded child that people shove in their closets while Draj is the illigit red-headed step child.
