Split Psychic Knife [General] Your mental focus allows you to generate two psychic knives at once.Prerequisites: Wisdom 15, Dexterity 13, psychic knife class feature, BAB +1Benefit: With the same action used to manifest your psychic knife, you may also manifest a second psychic knife in your off-hand, provided your off-hand is free. This second psychic knife grants you an additional attack when making a full-attack action, but both attacks take a -2 penalty. It deals the same base damage as your primary psychic knife.

You may split your numeric enhancement bonuses between your two knives (so for example, an 8th level Psyknife could have two +2 knives, or a +3 knife and a +1 knife). Enhancements with numeric equivalents (such as Keen or Flaming) can be selected twice in order to apply to both knives, but both enhancements count towards your maximum limit. When your knife is not split, you cannot benefit from more than one instance of an enhancement on the same knife. Enhancements with only a monetary cost must be purchased twice in order to be applied to both knives, otherwise the enhancement only functions on the main hand knife.

Both knives are light, one-handed weapons. A psyknife of 2nd level or higher can throw both knives as a full attack action. This feat functions as Two-Weapon Fighting for the purposes of prerequisites for other feats. Normal: You can only create one psychic knife.Special: You cannot use this feat in conjunction with Enlarge Psychic Knife.


For a High balance version of this feat, the feat grants the following benefits:

  • BAB +6: gain a second off-hand attack at -5 of your BAB, and the penalties for two-weapon fighting are reduced from -2 to -1.
  • BAB +11: gain a third off-hand attack at -10 of your BAB, and the penalties for two-weapon fighting disappear completely.

These benefits count as the Improved Two-Weapon Fighting and Greater Two-Weapon Fighting feats for all purposes.
