Shape Archetypal Clothing [General]
Some popular archetypes are strong enough that they produce Essentia patterns, suitable to make Soulmelds out of. I think.
Prerequisites: The ability to shape Soulmelds
Benefits: Select one of the following archetypes; you may shape any of that archetype's Soulmelds as if they were on all of your class lists.
Special: You may take this feat multiple times, each time adding another archetype's list to your class list.

Archetype Interconnection [General]
Archetypes are... weird, to say the least; the soulmelds that make them up are tied much closer together than normal.
Prerequisites: Shape Archetypal Clothing, Meldshaper Level 3rd
Benefits: Select one archetype you have chosen through Shape Archetypal Clothing; any effect or choices made for class features or feats affecting one of that archetype's Soulmelds affects all of them.

I Am Become (Archetype) [General]
At this point, you practically embody a given archetype. You embody it quite strongly.
Prerequisites: Archetype Interconnection
Benefits: All of the archetype chosen with Archetype Interconnection's Soulmelds are now, in many ways, one Soulmeld.

Any of the archetype's Soulmelds beyond the first that you shape or bind to a Soulmeld do not count towards the number of Soulmelds you may have shaped or bound at one time.

In addition, all of that archetype's Souldmelds that are currently shaped no longer have their own Essentia capacity; instead, upon shaping that archetype's Soulmelds, select one of them.

All of that archetype's Soulmelds are considered to have an amount of Essentia invested in them equal to the amount of Essentia invested in that Soulmeld. This choice is not subject to the effects of Archetype Interconnection.

Any suggestions for further Archetypes?

And just for a fun note... The Cute Witch archetype can be taken by men. The Soulmelds do not adapt in the slightest.

I'm thinking maybe a Wicked Stepmother, or an Oppressed Peasant.

I should hope not. If you're playing D&D in a pseudo-medieval time period, stockings and frilly gloves are men's wear. If the boots have high heels, even more so. :smalltongue:

Oppressed Peasant might be fun; of course, one of the soulmelds is going to give you one of the Commoner flaws as a bonus. Without giving you a feat in exchange.

And Wicked Stepmother is a definite yes.

EDIT: High heels are just impractical for battle, you know.

I assume that magical soulmeld high heels allow your character to utilize movie logic, where high heels actually make you super quick and agile.

(I'm now imagining the standard barbarian, but with big platform stripper heels hewn from the bones of his enemies, turning a heavy axe swing into a pirouette that gouges out the throat of a foe behind him with the shoe's stiletto.)

Hmmm, if silliness is the aim of the game here may I make a suggestion?

The classic British Gentleman... how did I not think of that?

Obviously, one of the binds gives you a mustachio.

And that is one good point you've got there, Xefas...

I always get warm and fuzzy inside when I see someone doing Incarnum stuff.

Even disredarding that this is an incredibly silly idea, it seems like it could be an incredibly good idea.

That said, how about a classic? Dashing Swordsman.

If I remember.
