It's not bad, it's a little wordy, but there are some nice ideas there. Basically, selecting a soulmeld locks you into certain encounter and daily attack powers, but there's a lot of jargon that can be a little intimidating. This attempt was also early in 4e's history, the Incarnate is a dual-stat attacker.<a href="http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19604890/Another_Incarnum_Thread_(but_different)?post_id=333750274#333750274" target="_blank">Cunning_Kindred's</a> take isn't my cup of tea, though it does fit the original book. Soulmelds are set to magic item slots, and they can't be shaped where you have a magic item. Various powers have extra features if you have soulmelds in those magic item slots. Like Goober4473's version, there's a lot of added jargon, with Soulwields, Soulmelds, Soulweapons and Soulwarps, and it's a lot to try and  parse. I'm not entirely sure how the Incarnate functions and how some of the powers work.Honestly, I think the main problem of these early attempts to convert Incarnum is that they're using a lot of words to still fit into the AEDU design scheme. You still end up with the same powers as any conventional AEDU class, but now with added words. A 5th level Warlord selects a 5th level daily attack, but a 5th level Incarnate in Goober4473's system is picking a "Sacral Chakra bind" to generate his daily attack power.</blockquote>
