The Soulknife is a resource-based rogue that basically gets a little better than a rogue on all accounts. This doesn’t make them better than a rogue subclass; just the base rogue gets extra skills, extra damage, more utility, and even some defense, though at the cost of being based on a pool of dice.
Is Soulknife rogue good?
The flavor is fantastic with plenty of mechanical “oomph” to make it a viable pick. On the other hand, the Soulknife is basically just taking the Rogue’s standard kit and adding that psionic “razzle dazzle” to it. So, yeah, I’d say the Soulknife is a very solid choice for a Rogue Archetype.
How do you use psychic blades in 5e?
Psychic Blades Also at 3rd level, You can manifest your psionic power as shimmering blades of psychic energy.

Is the soulknife a good subclass for a rogue?
I really like the soulknife subclass for the rogue. It looks like it has really cool potential as an infiltrator type rouge, or a flashy stylish combat rouge.

By 5th level you’re looking at +6 from double proficiency and an average of +2.5 to +4.5 depending on die size, and that’s before adding your ability modifier. I could also see psychic teleportation being used for some cool stunts if you want to be flashy.
What’s the damage die of a soulknife attack?
The damage die of this bonus attack is 1d4, instead of 1d6. Now that’s a good reason to use this over a basic weapon! So, if you make an attack with an unenchantable weapon, you get to swing with your offhand!
