Concept character maximization

[Elvnsword]

I have a concept for a character I want to maximize it's potential here, if anyone is willing to help me.

I want to actually make a working Soulknife. I think the way to do it might be to mix in the Kensai PrC, but I am frankly flummoxed on where it stands in end game.

The game I am building for is 9th level, with 36000 GP and a rather generous stat generation. (4d6 drop lowest, keep die on an 18! Yikes)

Anyone feel like helping me out with this idea, or something similar? Thanks...

If soulbow is unavailable, you might want to take a look into the incarnum blade prc from magic of incarnum, which might be helpful. If you want just the soulknife flavor, classes as metagame constructs etc, psychic warrior with the call weaponry acf from mind's eye is great.

I actually have a soulknife/soulbow/kensai build you might want to take a look at.

If you want to build specifically for 9th level and you're not sure when you'll be able to get up to 12th (when the kensai splitting ability for mind arrows comes into play) you could drop the level of Shiba Protector.  This gets rid of one of your "Wis to attack and damage" bonuses but it frees up things a lot because that prestige class has a lot of prerequisites.  Unfortunately you can't fit Soulknife and Soulbow into a 9th level build that includes 3 levels of Kensai, 2 is the max from my math.

If the splitting weapon enhancement isn't available to you, that opens things up more of course.

Going with the Soulbow/Shibia Protector build, cause... huzzah, double wis to damage!

To deal with " ... but I am frankly flummoxed on where it stands in end game ... "

Soulknife 2 / Cleric X / Soulbow 1 / Cleric +X
... and utilize the Quickstart Cleric Archer.
