[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 5388924, member: 29746"] As an addendum to the above suggested list of soulmelds for the Necrocarnate, it's worth listing how many melds on the list are linked to each of the ten basic Chakras: this will give some guidance as to which ones (if any) to remove from the list, as well as holes which should be filled by new melds created specifically for the new class. I did this with the Foundationist during design, and it proved very helpful- I was careful to make sure that every single element specialty had exactly the same number of soulmelds bindable to each chakra (that's part of the reason why so many Foundationist soulmelds can be bound to more than one chakra, it's worth noting). [B]Crown:[/B] 4 (Enigma Helm, Frost Helm, Necrocarnum Circlet, Soulspark Familiar) [B]Feet:[/B] 4 (Airstep Sandals, Dread Carapace, Feet of Clay, Impulse Boots) [B]Hands:[/B] 9 (Bloodwar Gauntlets, Bloodtalons, Gloves of the Poisoned Soul, Kruthik Claws, Lucky Dice, Mauling Gauntlets, Necrocarnum Weapon, Rageclaws, Theft Gloves) [B]Arms:[/B] 5 (Bloodwar Gauntlets, Dread Carapace, Mauling Gauntlets, Necrocarnum Touch, Ocher Shirt) [B]Brow:[/B] 9 (Fearsome Mask, Illusion Veil, Keeneye Lenses, Krenshar Mask, Silvertongue Mask, Soulspark Familiar, Steaming Veil, Truthseeker Goggles, Voidmask) [B]Shoulders:[/B] 6 (Adamant Pauldrons, Kruthik Claws, Mantle of Flame, Pauldrons of Health, Shadow Mantle, Wind Cloak) [B]Throat:[/B] 10 (Ankheg Breastplate, Apparition Ribbon, Arcane Focus, Dissolving Spittle, Necrocarnum Mantle, Silvertongue Mask, Soulspark Familiar, Steaming Veil, Voidmask, Winter Mask) [B]Waist:[/B] 8 (Feet of Clay, Lamia Belt, Necrocarnum Shroud, Necrocarnum Vestments, Ocher Shirt, Smoke Skirt, Strongheart Vest, Vitality Belt) [B]Heart:[/B] 5 (Dread Carapace, Necrocarnum Vestments, Smoke Skirt, Spellward Shirt, Strongheart Vest) [B]Soul:[/B] 3 (Fellmist Robe, Keeneye Lenses, Necrocarnum Shroud) Looking over the list, it's obvious that more Crown and Feet are needed, so Necrocarnum Boots are an obvious place to start (if one can think of something for them to do). Necrocarnum melds don't hit Brow or Shoulders, but there are plenty of melds for both of those chakras already, so probably not necessary to invent some here (unless you want to get rid of some melds on the existing list of course). It'd also be nice to have a couple more Arms, and maybe another Heart. If you want to get rid of melds from my suggested list, the ones in the Throat and Brow lists are highly recommended since those lists are long. [/QUOTE]
