Character Options

New Soulmelds

Mantle of the Storms (credit to ~Corvus~)
- This soulmeld grants the bearer spectral green horns that sprout from their head and turns their armor into a chitonous, green pattern. Channeling the warrior-spirit of the once great Yoritomo, you can gain skill and power to battles foe and the ocean.

When you shape this soulmeld, you find yourself incredibly adept at many things a Sailor might need. You gain the spell Know Direction as a spell-like ability, usable 1/hour. You also gain a +4 Insight bonus each of to Profession (Sailor), to Survival checks, and to Use Rope checks. You gain a +3 to these bonuses for each essentia invested into this soulmeld.

- Chakra Bind (feet) The chitinous patterns of the armor flow down to your feet. When bound to your feet, you gain a +2 insight bonus to Balance, Jump, Tumble, and you may use Tumble checks untrained. For each per essentia instead, each skill bonus increases by +2. Finally, with at least 2 essentia invested in this soulmeld you also gain the use of Feather Fall as a spell-like ability 1/day, and with at least 4 essentia invested in this soulmeld you gain the use of Jump as a spell-like ability 1/day.

- Chakra Bind (crown) The horns at the top of your head become opaque green spikes. You gain the benefit of Uncanny Dodge. You also gain a +1 Dodge bonus to AC per essentia invested into this soulmeld, and with at least 4 essentia invested you also gain the benefit of Evasion, like the Rogue ability of the same name.

-Chakra Bind (totem or Arms) You gain two primary Claw attacks, each a 1d6 Slashing attack, and a +1 Parry Bonus to AC as long as you've attacked this round. Each essentia invested in this soulmeld increasse the damage bonus of both the Claws by 1d6 and the Parry Bonus to AC by 1.

Chakra Bind (heart) Each round, you gain 5 Temporary HP per essentia invested into this soulmeld. 1/day, if you are slain during combat, you are instead returned to life with half of your maximum HP total with this soulmeld unshaped from your Heart Chakra. Once this Chakra is unshaped, it cannot be re-shaped to its user for 24 hours.

Initial suggestions:
Tsuno Body should MODIFY Catfolk body as follows: type changed from Humanoid to Monstrous Humanoid, which grants it Darkvision 60' and proficiency to Simple Weapons.

It doesn't need Simple Weap Prof, as it gains rhis from Type Change.

Least/lesser/Greater should be the extent of its invocation/spell reach. Dark is for 15+

It certainly does. Types here don't automatically grant proficiencies because stuff like Hellhounds automatically knowing how to use bows is silly. Proficiencies should always be clarified.

Sorry I was just trying to break up his spell like abilities to cover dead levels. Catfolk would grant simple weapons so its unnecessary to add again.

How about soulmeld progression of Soulborn+4
