[QUOTE="Camarath, post: 2645697, member: 11987"] Magic of Incarnum system seems to basicly be item-like magic. The basic powers are called Soulmelds and function like items for the most part. They can be enchanced by investing Essentia or by binding them to a Chakra which prevents the use of an item in the same slot as the Chakra Bind. A few Soulmeld abilities have limited uses per day or unshape the meld when used but for the most part the effects are usable all the time. The powers seem relatively useful. But the usefulness of many Soulmeld would vary a good deal based on the avaliblity of magic items and the wealth of the PC. As to the classes I think the Totemist and the Soulborn could be fun to play. The Incarnate i think suffers too much from its bad BAB and low hit dice. The race are not spectacular but I think would be solid additions to the racial choices in many games. Overall I think it could be a good addition that does not seems to be to complicated or overpowered. [/QUOTE]
