Monks of the Way of the Soul Blade are monks who have learned to harness and focus their ki, using their inner will and focus to control psionic powers—primarily into a blade of pure psionic power: a Soul Blade.

Soul Blade

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you’ve learned to focus your ki into a psionic blade. As a bonus action, you can create a blade of pure scintillating psionic energy. The blade you create this way most typically takes the form of a knife-like blade projecting from your fist, but you can shape it however you choose. You can choose to create multiple blades, but any blade you are not touching vanishes at the end of your turn and must be resummoned.

Regardless of the form it takes, the weapon is a monk weapon for you, deals psychic damage, uses your monk damage die, and has the light, finesse, and thrown(20/60) properties.

When you reach 6th level in this sublcass your soul blades get +1 to attack and damage rolls. This benefit increases to +2 at 11th level and +3 at 17th level.

Soul Strike

When you take the Attack action, you use your soul blade to make a single piercing strike.

On a hit, the creature takes additional damage equal to your Wisdom modifier.

Power of The Mind

Starting at 11th level, your psionic abilities manifest more completely, giving you greater control and power in your psionic abilities.

Consumptive Blade

Whenever you kill a creature with your Soul Blade that has an Intelligence of 6 or higher, you can use your reaction to draw in part of their psionic essence. You regain 1d4 hit points and 1 expended ki point.

Empowered Discipline

When you use your Soul Strike feature you can add your proficiency bonus to your AC

Ethereal Sweep

When you use Extended Blade, you can sweep or stab through multiple creatures with a single blow. Once per turn, when you make an attack with your Soul Blade, if you have activated Extended Blade you can make a single additional weapon attack with your Soul Blade against a number of creatures equal to your Wisdom modifier within range.
