[QUOTE="NaturalZero, post: 8398804, member: 55705"] What I'm working on is rebooting of some of the magic of incarnum classes with real-world terminology - I.E. chakra magic instead of incarnum, manifestations instead of soulmelds. I'm beginning with one of my favorite classes, the totemist, which has the ability to channel the disembodied soul energy of magical beasts and form them into pieces of armor on a character's body, granting them the features of creatures from D&D lore. In 5e, creatures that used to fit the old magical beast type are almost uniformly all monstrosities, and a lot of the ones that were made into soulmelds for the 3.5e class are present in 5e. Purple worm and bulette were 2 that the totemist had access to in 3.5 and I wanted to port them with the new design philosophy I'm using with 5e manifestations. Both creatures have tremorsense and burrow speed, so I was looking at giving characters access to these as part of one or the other creature's manifestation. If I included both, there would certainly be a way for one character to have both tremorsense and burrow speed on the same build. [/QUOTE]
