-As basic Soulborn (Note that this Homebrew receives Timeless Body at 17th level, not 19th.)

Bonus Feat: A Soulborn receives Bonus Feats at 1st, 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th & 19th levels. The Feats must be either Incarnum Feats or taken from the list of Fighter Bonus Feats. The Soulborn must meet all pre-requisites for these Bonus Feats.

Detect Opposition: As the Incarnate ability, except that Soulborn can detect alignments opposed on either the Law/Chaos axis or the Good/Evil axis. For example, a Lawful Good Soulborn can use Detect Opposition to discover Chaotic or Evil auras.

Meldshaping: Starting at 1st level the Soulborn gains the ability to shape Soulmelds as shown on the Table. The Soulborn’s Meldshaper Level is equal to his/her Soulborn level. The Difficulty Class for any saving throw against a Soulborn Soulmeld is 10 + Invested Essentia + Soulborn’s Constitution modifier.

Immediate Essentia: Starting at 4th level a Soulborn may invest Essentia as an Immediate Action 1/day. The Soulborn gains increased uses of this ability every 5 levels (9th, 14th, 19th, etc.)

Increased Offense: At 5th level the Essentia Capacity of any of the Soulborn’s Soulmelds that provides him with a bonus “to hit” or provides damage in any way increases by one.

Incarnum Feat Mastery: The Soulborn is able to surpass the limitations of using Essentia with Incarnum Feats. At 8th Level a Soulborn may invest Essentia into Incarnum Feats twice per day. For example, he could fully invest the Feats in the morning and later remove the Essentia for use in Soulmelds. The uses per day for any Feat that has them moves to currently invested Essentia or the Essentia Capacity, whichever is less at the time of use. All Essentia invested in Incarnum Feats becomes unlocked at sunrise, which is the start of a new day for using this ability.

At 18th level a Soulborn may rearrange the Essentia in his Incarnum Feats three times a day.

Offensive Meldshaping: Starting at 10th level a Soulborn may unshape one of his Soulmelds in order to shape any Meld covered by his Increased Offense ability. This is a full round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, and may only be done in combat.

Increased Defense: At 11th level the Essentia Capacity of any of the Soulborn’s Soulmelds that adds to his AC or Saving Throws increases by one.

Increased Essentia Capacity: At 13th level a Soulborn gains Increased Essentia Capacity as a Bonus Feat. The increased Essentia Capacity is not bound by the Soulborn’s Constitution Modifier. Should the Soulborn already have the Increased Essentia Capacity feat they gain the version described here and may take any other feat they qualify for.

Defensive Meldshaping: Starting at 14th level a Soulborn may unshape one of his Soulmelds in order to shape any Meld covered by his Increased Defense ability. This is a full round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, and may only be done in combat.

Combat Meld Binding: At 20th level a Soulborn may unbind one of his chakra binds and then bind a Soulmeld to any available Chakra once per day. This explicitly allows rebinding the same Soulmeld to a different Chakra. Combat Meld Binding is a full round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, and may only be done in combat.

Soulmeld List: As vanilla Soulborn, with the following additions: Incarnate Aura, Incarnate Weapon, Vitality Belt
