Soul-Suffused[edit]

Incarnum is the energy of souls. Sometimes, a creature is born with a highly energetic soul, one that taps into incarnum with ease.


Creating a Soul-Suffused[edit]

Soul-suffused is an inherited template that can be applied to any creature.

Size and Type[edit]

Size and type do not change. A soul-suffused creature gains the [Incarnum] subtype.

Hit Dice[edit]

Hit Dice do not change.

Speed[edit]

Speed does not change.

Armor Class[edit]

A soul-suffused creature can use its soul as armor. It has a default natural armor bonus of +0, but can increase its natural armor by investing essentia into it (+2 per point of essentia).

Attack[edit]

A soul-suffused creature neither gains nor loses natural weapons or the ability to use manufactured weapons.

Full Attack[edit]

The base creature's full attack routine doesn't change.

Special Attacks[edit]

A soul-suffused creature can invest essentia into a natural weapon or unarmed strike to deal damage as though it were one size category larger per point of invested essentia. If the base creature has multiple natural weapons (including more than one of a natural weapon, such as 2 claws), it must invest essentia separately into each.

Special Qualities[edit]

A soul-suffused creature can invest essentia into its saving throws to gain a resistance bonus of +1 per invested essentia point. Essentia is invested into each saving throw separately.

A soul-suffused creature has an essentia pool of 2 points. If it already has an essentia pool, increase its existing essentia pool by 2 points.

A soul-suffused creature that can shape soulmelds can shape 1 additional soulmeld.

Abilities[edit]

+1 Constitution.

Skills[edit]

A soul-suffused creature can invest essentia into a skill to gain an insight bonus of +2 per invested essentia point. Each skill is treated as a separate essentia receptacle.

Feats[edit]

A soul-suffused creature neither gains nor loses any feats by virtue of the template.

Environment[edit]

Soul-suffused creatures dwell anywhere where the base creature would, though they tend to be drawn to incarnum-rich areas.

Organization[edit]

Soul-suffused creatures can be found in any society or organization that the base creature would, though they are often drawn towards groups that utilize incarnum, such as the Sapphire Hierarchs.

Challenge Rating[edit]

+2

Treasure[edit]

As base creature.

Alignment[edit]

As base creature.

Advancement[edit]

As base creature (either HD or character class).
