ToB SoulmeldsJust a bunch of soulmelds based on those nine wondrous items in Tome of Battle. No real reason, I just felt like making them. Soulborn (being the more militant class) have access to all of them, and they can use the class-unique soulmelds. (What do they have, like 5 or so that are uniquely theirs and they're mostly unimpressive even on a full meldshaper?) I wasn't too familiar with MoI's balance points when I originally wrote these, so I don't know how they actually rank against the standard crop of soulmelds. They're probably fine, though. Enjoy.
