When they revised the class instead of being 2 finesse at a d6, it you use a two weapon attack it becomes short sword/dagger rather than short sword/short sword. It's not rolling of strength just changing the damage die for the second attack.
Not the problem. I know that it's a d6/d4 split, but it's literally showing up as four different attacks on my sheet: one for d6 using STR as an action, one for d6 using DEX as an action, one for d4 using STR as a bonus action, one for d4 using DEX as a bonus action. They're called Psychic Blade (Str), Psychic Blade (Dex), Psychic Blade - Offhand (Str), and Psychic Blade - Offhand (Dex).
You can go to customizing the attacks and you should be able to turn off the display as attack
If this is the wrong place to bring this up, I apologise. I really, really preferred the previous incarnation of the psy sorcerer. The fluff was a hundred times better, and the powers a lot nicer. You could really flesh your character out to be weird and eldritch. This one is bland and lacking in grit. It falls flat in comparison. And the implementation of psy dice on top of meta magic is a clumsy mechanic. Reminiscent of the Wild surge table. A lot of extra dice rolling for no real result.
I'm using these subclasses in Avrae and the updated import there has highlighted a few issues with the DDB versions of the subclasses.
First off, there are issues related to limited use counters (which are now importing to Avrae, which is why I've noticed these things):
There should be a single limited use counter (reset on long rest) for Bulwark of Force on the Psi Knight
There should be a single limited use counter (reset on long rest) for Psionic Veil on the Soulknife
The Rend Mind limited use counter should reset on a long rest instead of being a "special" reset on the Soulknife
Telepathic Speech (under Psionic Talent) for the Psionic Soul Sorcerer shouldn't have a limited use counter at all
Second, the Psionic Talent entry for the Psionic Soul Sorcerers looks very different from the same feature for the Soulknife and Psi Knight. For the other two, they're listed and have to be clicked on to get to the details. For the sorcerer, they're all detailed right on the features list. Not sure which one is the desired look, but it should be consistent.
Third, is there any way that a counter of some kind could be added for the Psionic Talent Die so that we can track the size of the die as it gets bigger and smaller? As it stands, some of my players are a bit confused when their sheet says they can use a d8 but they have already burned through their die and it's a d6 or even currently unusable.
Thanks in advance for having a look and dealing with these issues!
you made some good points though i dont believe in nerfing martials any more than they are. as for the die, if the have physical die at home they can use those to track. thats what i do. i have my d8, d6, d4 set on my border and as my die fluctuates i change the die out.

If this was in response to my post, I'm not recommending doing anything different rules-wise than what is written in the UA PDF. All of my feedback relates to how they are represented on DDB. Bulwark of Force, Psionic Veil, and Rend Mind are all supposed to have a once/long rest counter based on RAW (although you can reduce your psionic die size to use them after that if desired), just like the rest of the Psionic abilities that function this way.
As far as the die goes, the whole point of my post was that we play using Avrae (on Discord) so we have to use custom counters to keep track of the dice right now since nobody uses their physical dice while they play. It would be nice if it was just integrated into the system directly since Avrae is owned by DDB.

The feats that are supposed to increase an ability score dont seem to register as having actually increasing said scores.
