### [Tome of Virtue] Soulborn

Post by Username17 » Fri Nov 13, 2009 1:35 pm

The Soul Born
Do you know what it means when a man has a sword made of blue soulfire? It means he can kill you with a sword made of blue soulfire.
A Soulborn is a character whose soul is on completely arbitrary blue fire. This allows them to wreathe themselves in magical energies that give them jedi powers as if they had a number of magic items that enhanced their abilities. They can also create a lightsaber made out of soulfire that they use to chop things up.
Necrocarnum Option: Some characters will want to be powered by Necrocarnum instead of Incarnum. That's fine. Such a character's soulfire is dim and spooky looking. Any references to shedding light like a torch are ignored for Necrocarnum Soulborn.
Playing a Soulborn: The Soulborn is a warrior whose weapon is as heavy as their soul. As such they can make a passable Strength Warrior or a passable Dexterity warrior. In addition they have a bunch of powers that work off of Charisma, so it is to be expected that Charisma would be their first or second best attribute. In most cases, a Soulborn's tactics are going to be to run up and smack things.
Starting Age: As Paladin
Starting Equipment: 5d6x10gp
Alignment: Soulborn can be any alignment, but they tend to be total douchebags about it regardless. Soulborn feel compelled to be "extreme" in their moral and ethical tirades and favor action and dickery rather than passively letting shit go. Even Neutral Soulborn get all tweaked up about "balance" and shit. They detect their alignment as if they were outsiders or clerics.

Skill Points: 4+Int

Class Feature
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Soulborn are proficient with all Simple and Martial Weapons, as well as with Light, Medium, and Heavy Armor. Also with Shields (but not Tower Shields).
Soulblade (Su): With a Swift Action, a Soulborn can call into existence a weapon of blue soul fire. The soulblade generally looks like a culturally appropriate bastard sword, but it may appear otherwise in the hands of Soulborn characters from other cultures or with different combat styles. The Soulblade is a light weapon that does a d10 damage and has a threat range of 18-20. It has an enhancement bonus equal to one third of the character's level (round up). While out, the soulblade sheds light like a torch, and it vanishes the moment that it leaves the Soulborn's hand (though it can be recalled at a later time with a Swift Action). This weapon does Force damage and therefore ignores Hardness and is Super Effective against Incorporeal opponents.
Soulmelds (Su): A Soulborn has the ability to call upon a number of special blue glowing intangible wardrobe accessories that cause them to glow blue and gain additional powers. Each Soulmeld is unique, and should have its own name (check the Soulmeld chart below in order to name it). Each Soulmeld has a Basic bonus and a Special bonus. A Soulborn can only use a fraction of the Soulmelds they have at a time. At first level, the Soulborn "knows" 2 Soulmelds and learns an additional Soulmeld every time they gain a Soulborn level. Whenever they gain a level, they may trade one of the Soulmelds they know for a different Soulmeld. The number of Soulmelds that can actually be used at one time is the character's number of Chakras, which is 1 at first level, rising to 2 at 3rd, 3 at 6th, 4 at 9th, 5 at 12th, 6 at 15th, 7 at 17th, and finally 8 at 20th. It takes 1 minute of meditation to change which Soulmelds are available (up to the character's number of Chakras), but only a Swift Action to activate any or all of them. This activation can be combined with the action to activate a Soulblade if desired. Soulmelds shed light as a torch.
If a Soulmeld provides the ability to use an effect a lmited number of times per day, the amount is reset only by having the sun rise or set, not by simply rearranging one's soulmelds. If a Soulmeld allows the casting of a spell, this spell is used as a Supernatural Ability and the caster level is the Soulborn's Level.
Basic Bonuses: Every Soulmeld (even Advanced or Giant-Size Soulmelds) has exactly one Basic Bonus, which is defined when the Soulmld is learned:

- Deflection bonus to AC (1/3 level, rounded up)
- Resistance Bonus to Saving Throws (1/3 level, rounded up)
- Enhancement Bonus to an attribute (1/3 level, rounded up)
- Enhancement Bonus to a Skill other than Use Magic Device (Level + 2)
- Enhancement Bonus to Natural Armor Bonus (1/3 Level, rounded up)
- Spell Resistance (8 + Level)
- Energy Resistance to one Energy type (3 points per level)

Special Bonuses: Each Soulmeld has a Special Bonus. At higher levels, a Soulborn can select their Special Bonuses from the Better list, the Advanced List, or even the Giant-Size list. But at first, they have to make do with this list:

- Nimbus of Light: Sheds light as a Sunrod, once per day per 4 levels (rounded up), the Soulborn can use flashburst (SpC) targeted on themselves. They are immune to the blinding effects.
- Displacement: The character has a 20% Concealment Miss Chance.
- Levitation: The character can hover in the air as per the effects of the spell levitate.
- Counterspelling: The Soulborn can, as an immediate action attempt to counter a spell they can see by making a Dispel check using their level as the caster level.
- Wall Walking: The Soulborn can be attracted to any surface as if to the ground, allowing them to walk or run on walls and ceilings.
- Enlargement: The Soulborn grows as if having been struck with enlarge person.
- Shrinking: The Soulborn shrinks as if affected with reduce person.
- Darkvision: The Soulborn gains Darkvision 120'.

Souleater (Su): A 14th level Soulborn can see souls hovering around dead bodies for about a week (or until that soul gets corrupted into a vengeful spirit or raised from the dead or bound into an object or whatever). They can choose to eat those souls, preventing them from being used for other tasks. Souls are delicious.
Soul Cleave (Su): As a Swift Action, the 15th level Soulborn can declare their next attack within the round to be a Soul Cleave, targeting the victim's soul directly. This attack is a touch attack, and also forces the victim to make a Fortitude Save (DC 10 + 1/2 Level + Charisma Modifier) or die. A soul cleave is only a special attack against a target that actually has a soul.

I lol'd heartily.
By "super effective against incorporeal", are you using Pokemon terms to mean it ignores their miss chance/miss certainty and hits them as normal (assuming you roll a successful hit), or is there some other effect?
And if they hit level 20 and win the game, do the others get a saving throw to resist this?

Doesn't Open Gateway rob Teleport of its reason to exist? One clearly goes farther, more places, and with more friends without weight limits or off target shenanigans.

That's it, yeah.

> Koumei wrote:And if they hit level 20 and win the game, do the others get a saving throw to resist this?

I... don't even care. It's 20th level, it's never going to matter.

> Doesn't Open Gateway rob Teleport of its reason to exist? One clearly goes farther, more places, and with more friends without weight limits or off target shenanigans.

Not really. One of them is about 8/day and enemies can follow you, and requires you to use actual movement. The other is unlimited times per day and transports you immediately. Open Gateway will get your army from Acheron to the Borderlands, but Teleport will get you out of the stomach of a Space Behir.
Of course, the whole thing needs like 10 more Special Soulmeld Options at each level to make it so that Soulborn don't end up fondling each other's schticks. As is, by level 8 a Soulborn will have gained 4 picks off the Better List and have had the opportunity to trade up to 4 of their other specials for more known Better Specials. That means that could conceivably have 8 choices off the Better Specials list, and the entire list is only 10. Granted, each one is going to be pared with some sort of different regular bonus, but it's going to be wacky.

I feel it's worth throwing out there that this is the first time I've ever seen anything Incarnum-related since that book came out. Does anyone else have a similar experience?

Perhaps it should be made explicit whether a Soul Baby can summon a demon, meditate for a minute, and then summon another demon.

Possible Giant-Size Soulmelds:
Noclip: the Soulborn can ignore all magical barriers and terrain, such as Forcecages, Walls of X, Antimagic Fields and Acid Fog. Additionally they can walk up and down as though the air is as solid as they want it to be.
Divine Static: there is a constant Purple Cloud* centred on the Soulborn. For reasons unknown, it is blue, and is not inherently evil - it is the same alignment as the Soulborn.
The Silence: a Silence effect spreads out 100 feet from the Soulborn, affecting everybody else and fucking with spells that have Verbal Components.
Eternal (Season): a 1 mile radius aura radiates from the Soulborn, either increasing or decreasing the temperature band by up to three levels (this cannot be changed once selected - hot OR cold). The Soulborn is likely to be the only person who finds this comfortable. Once per round the Soulborn may cause a (spell that suits that weather, I can't be fucked looking for the It's Hot/Cold Outside books) effect.
Thief of Souls: whenever anyone uses a [Death] effect on the Soul Born, if the Soulborn passes their save (or the effect fails to penetrate SR or otherwise fails to kill them), the creature who used the [Death] effect is slain instead, as if they had been hit with the effect, failed their save, passed SR and so on.

Its so funny I kept thinking to bitch about the samurai's level 20 ability from the tome... except... it hardly freaking mattered it was level 20. Thusly vindicated I hold my action.

Yeah, NO U is a much better name. I was thinking in terms of Lucius the Eternal - where sure, the effect kills you, except you steal their life so as to not be dead, and this means they die. But just a flat out "You die." "NO U" reflection is simpler and funnier.

"Crushing Despair" should probably be "Despair"; Crushing Cerulean Cape of Crushing Despair is a bit too redundant. Similarly, I actually rolled up Clutching Steel Wings of Winged Flight.
The best one I've rolled so far: Black Claws of Crushing Silence. Overall I'd say that the random generator is working quite nicely.

There needs to be a power called Repetition that causes the Encore status effect makes the target repeat actions.
That way you can have the Beryl Repetitive Hat of Repetition.
For some reason my d20 keeps giving me gorgeous hats.

You know, that's a darn good question. I don't know where the other [Leadership] Feats like Lord of Death, Tyrant, Monster Rancher, Bureaucrat and Army of Demons ended up. Seriously: I don't know.

I've been around these boards for a long time, and I've never seen these feats

I don't recall those at all.
Ever.
Do you still have original copies of RoW, Dungeonomicon, etc?

I don't get anything on searching the forums either.

Question re: Name of the Rose. So let's pretend we care at this point. But does the "area on the great wheel" mean a layer of Hell, an entire plane, or say their own private melon garden?
Possible Giant-size one:
Centre of the Universe: the Soulborn gets such a huge ego that the world practically revolves around them. They have a field of gravity as strong as the Vortex ability of an Umbral Blot (Joke Book) and can never be tripped, lifted, pinned, moved telekinetically or bullrushed. Finally all their strikes in melee carry the force of a planet hitting you in the face, and automatically deal (extra damage) and knock foes prone.
Yes, it's based on the utter bullshit Dicefreaks construct, the Neutronium Golem.

It doesn't make any difference, because Morphic areas can have their areas morphed. So if you want to collapse it down to a private melon garden or turn it into a continent filled with deadly vampire yaks, you can just do that.

A layer and a plane are important differences, though. Does this let you select Hell and tell Asmodeus and the other 8 rulers of Hell that you're now in charge, or just Asmodeus (or, say, Dis, since you think he's a bit too prissy)?

I'm pretty sure the intent was that you select an unoccupied area that will be as big as you wish on the inside. Asmodeus' palace is already under Asmodeus' divine morphing, so you'd have to wrestle that power out of his hands.
