Psychic Weapon Master

Can a Psychic Weapon Master's bonded weapon be enchanted normally? If not, what about with +X GP abilities (rather than +Y Effective Enhancement Bonus)?

Yes it can but then you have to be careful with the maximum bonus limit.

... was thinking about this one


Ardent 2 to get anything out of the festing
Martial Monk 2 cheesey to get the qualifying feats
OA Sam 1 and Ancestral Relic on the crystal
Item of Divine Power to get last qualify, hand off later.
But you'd still have to pay for everything, so
not so good.  It sucks that something like
OA Sam 1 can nearly replace a whole PrC.

Ardent 4 / Fighter 2 + normal qualifiers / PrC
feels like low Tier 4 -ish ; don't get me wrong,
it's fine for that kind of game.
I bet some trick E6 build would qualify better
and be better all the way up.

Eh, the interesting part to me is that you can max your damage with a small fee of PP. Would be nice with unarmed strike (delivered through a deep crystal scorpion kama, perhaps). The amount of work to make the class useful is annoying, though.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but this got me looking at the Psychic Weapon Master and I had a question about it.

The weapon of choice thing. All "standard crystal weapons" of the type you pick can benefit from the class's abilities. My question is what does "standard" mean in this context? For the Bonded Weapon feature it requires a

standard crystal melee weapon (without any magic or psionic enhancements).

The "no enhancements" thing is only mentioned under Bonded Weapon, and all the other abilities only need the "standard crystal weapon" part. Does standard mean no enhancements? Or does it not?
It seems odd that if "standard" meant "no enhancements" they would specifically call that out only under one ability but I'm not sure.
