[QUOTE="Chronologist, post: 5391830, member: 81796"] I like the idea of True Neutral Incarnates, though personally I've never liked the idea of the Incarnate's extreme devotion to a single axis of the alignment scale. Perhaps if a Neutral Incarnate ability was developed, Incarnates could be of any alignment, but had to select one Incarnum Radiance ability that matched their alignment, therefore giving two options to every Incarnate. So, a LG could have the Law or Good radiance (chosen at character creation), while a CN could have the Chaos or Neutral radiance. Neutral Radiance... neutrality in part relates to being impartial, or at least reactive in a sense. Maybe it could be something like this: Small bonus over time: 1 point of damage reduction per point of bonus. First option: Sanctuary effect in a radius. As long as it's active, any enemy that attacks you (or allies for share radiance) makes a Will save or takes 1d6 damage. Maybe higher damage at higher levels. Second option: ? Third option: ? I'm starting to think that there should be set of soulmelds for each alignement. What if you took the alignment-based soulmelds from the book, filled in the gaps with more soulmelds restricted to that alignment, then restricted those sets to a particular kind of Incarnate? So you'd have: Evil: Necrocarnum melds Good: Holy melds Law: Axiom melds Chaos: Anarchy melds Neutral: Twilight melds Here are two feats: Dual Soul Prerequisite: Incarnate level 1 or higher Benefit: You are attuned to both aspects of your alignment. When you select this feat, you gain access to the exclusive soulmelds of both your alignment qualifiers. For example, a Lawful Neutral incarnate would be able to shape both Axiom and Twilight soulmelds. A True Neutral Incarnate may not select this feat. Normal: Normally, Incarnates select one aspect of their alignement and can only shape the soulmelds associated with that alignment. Dual Radiance Prerequisites: Incarnum Radiance, Dual Soul Benefit: You are even more attuned to the two aspects of your alignment. When you use your Incarnum Radiance class feature, you may choose to gain the benefits of any radiance associated with your alignment. You may only have one of the benefits at any time, though you may change it as normal. A True Neutral incarnate may not select this feat. Normal: An incarnate of 3rd level selects the same kind of radiance as her favored alignment aspect for selecting melds. I think this could really work. Plus, it opens up the Incarnate to 5 more possible alignments. It also means that Necrocarnum is available to NE, LE, and CE only. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
