Cutthroat

With the ability to create a blade from thin air, soulknives can be extremely effective assassins. Cutthroat soulknives work to be even better at infiltration as well as how to perfectly place strikes against their opponents.

Covert Training (Ex)

A cutthroat gains 6 + Intelligence modifier skill ranks at each level, instead of the normal 4 + Intelligence modifier skill ranks at each level.

This ability replaces the medium armor proficiency and shield proficiency normally gained by soulknives.

Cunning (Su)

A cutthroat of 2nd level gains a +1 competence bonus on Bluff and Stealth skill checks made while maintaining psionic focus. Furthermore, Bluff is a class skill for the cutthroat. At 6th level and every four soulknife levels thereafter, this bonus increases by 1 (to a maximum of +5 at 18th level).

The cutthroat can expend his psionic focus to double this bonus for a single Bluff or Stealth skill check.

This ability replaces the bonus feat gained at first level.

Sneak Attack

A cutthroat of 3rd level gains the sneak attack ability as a rogue of half his soulknife level (rounded down) as long as he is maintaining psionic focus. If a character already has sneak attack from another class, the levels from the classes that grant sneak attack stack to determine the effective rogue level for the sneak attack’s extra damage dice (so a soulknife 3/rogue 1 has a +1d6 sneak attack like a 2nd-level rogue, a soulknife 8/rogue 1 has a +3d6 sneak attack like a 5th-level rogue, and so on).

This ability replaces psychic strike.
