ANd then dealing some decent damage on the prone opponent with an unramed strike. The problem would then be to get some decent attack bonus.Regarding the essentia.. 4 points is nice, but with only one soulmeld, you'd have to be 18th level to be able to apply all of it.. or spend another feat on Expanded Soulmeld Capacity. I think the best bet would be to keep the feat expenditures more or less at the 3 feats needed (shape soulmeld, Bonus Essentia/incarnum feat, and Open Least Chakra), and use other feats to shore up you other abilities. Nevertheless, it is a really nice bonus from the soulmeld.. The build works best if you can start at 6th level or close, I think. At lower levels, the feat choices doesn't do too much for you, but at level 6, and the chakra bind - bam! +6 unarmed damage. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Drowbane.. Yes, it seems that you can expand on an ordinary class by taking Shape soulmeld and relevant feats - you only gets one gimmick, but it might dovetail well with your main schtick. Your idea was cool, and that soulmeld is really good for someone who tanks in melee.. Of course, your flame would be silvered. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The interesting thing about MoI is that it provides new mechanical stuff.. If you dont like what you read about soulmelds and incarnum being soulstuff, its easy to change the flavor of soulmelds to magical tattoos, ki powers, ectoplasm from the far realm, painting the names of blessed spirits to your body, using the Force, or whatever you like.. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />The second thing I like is that you can use small bits of it for all classes - you dont have to go meldshaper at all, as was the case with my monk idea..Thanks for your posts.. -Wavestone</blockquote>
