format and rules for soulmelds, with one exception: Only
characters of the dragonblood subtype can shape a soulmeld
with the draconic descriptor. The source of the meldshaper’s
draconic blood—whether his race, a template, a class feature,
or a feat—doesn’t matter. Draconic incarnum cares only that
the meldshaper shares some small bit of definable heritage
with the dragons of old.
CLAWS OF THE WYRM
Descriptors: Draconic
Classes: Soulborn, totemist
Chakra: Arms, hands (totem)
Saving Throw: None
A pair of dragonlike arms, wreathed in blue fire, hover above your
own arms and mimic your actions. The arms have long, sharp
talons of cerulean light.
This soulmeld draws on the most basic of draconic attack
forms, granting you claws that deal damage of 1d6 points if
you are Medium, 1d4 if you are Small, or 1d8 if you are Large,
plus your Strength modifier. You can attack with one claw
as a standard action or with both claws as a full-round action
(using your full base attack bonus). If you already have claw
attacks, use either your normal claw damage or the damage
given for this soulmeld, whichever is higher.
Essentia: For every point of essentia invested in your claws
of the wyrm, you gain a +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls
and damage rolls made with the claws.
You gain a climb speed equal to 1/2 your base land speed
(rounded up to the nearest 5-foot increment).
DRAGON MANTLE
Descriptors: Draconic
Classes: Soulborn, totemist
Chakra: Heart, shoulders (totem)
Saving Throw: None
Incarnum forms heavy plates of armor that resemble blue dragonhide.
The plates hover above your back and shoulders, having an
almost winglike appearance.
You draw on the incarnum of the mightiest dragons to
increase your resilience. You gain a +2 enhancement bonus
on Fortitude saves.
Essentia: You gain resistance to acid, electricity, fire, and
cold equal to 3 × the number of points of essentia invested
in this soulmeld. If you already have resistance to any of
these energy types from another source, it stacks with the
resistance granted by this chakra bind.
Chakra Bind (Heart)
The blue dragonhide plate armor fuses with your torso, invigorating
your entire body with draconic energy.
You gain fast healing equal to the number of points of essentia
invested in this soulmeld. This fast healing functions only
when you are at or below half your full normal hit points.
CHAPTER 3
DRACONIC
MAGIC
Chakra Bind (Arms)
The dragon arms settle onto your forearms, though the claws remain
loose from your hands. The fire of the arms is reduced, but they glow
with a dull inner light.
The threat range of your claws of the wyrm doubles (to 19–20).
This benefit does not stack with any other effect that improves
the threat range of your claw attacks.
Chakra Bind (Hands)
The dragon claws bind to your hands, lengthening and growing
serrated spines.
The damage dealt by your claws of the wyrm improves by one
step (from 1d6 to 1d8, if you are Medium). If you already
have claw attacks, use either your normal claw damage or the
damage given for this bind, whichever is higher.
Chakra Bind (Totem)
The dragon arms become more fleshlike and animated, growing
up toward your back and linking with your shoulder blades. Hard,
bright scales spread over your shoulders, upper chest, and upper
arms.
Chakra Bind (Shoulders)
The blue dragonhide plate armor fits tightly to your shoulders and
runs down your back and across your upper arms.
You gain damage reduction X/magic, where X equals the
number of points of essentia you have invested in your
dragon mantle.
As long as at least 1 point of essentia is invested in this
soulmeld, your natural attacks overcome damage reduction
as if they were magic weapons.
Chakra Bind (Totem)
Long, draconic wings sprout from the shoulders of your blue dragonhide
plate armor.
You can extend wings from this soulmeld to gain the ability
to fly a short distance (poor maneuverability) as a move action.
You can fly up to 10 feet for each point of essentia you have
invested in your dragon mantle, though you must begin and
end each such move on a solid surface or you fall.
