NEW ARMOR AND SHIELD SPECIAL ABILITY
Armor or shields with special abilities must have at least a +1 enhancement bonus.
SOULBOUND ARMOR OR SHIELD
110
A soulbound suit of armor or shield allows its wearer to invest essentia to improve his Armor Class. Description: Soulbound armor and shields have no special appearance except when essentia is invested in them, at which point they take on a faint blue sheen. Prerequisite: Anyone can wear a soulbound shield or suit of soulbound armor, though only those with an essentia pool can take advantage of its full benefit. Activation: Investing essentia in or reallocating essentia invested in a soulbound shield or suit of armor is part of the swift action required to invest or reallocate essentia. Effect: A soulbound shield or suit of armor serves as a receptacle for the wearer’s essentia much like a soulmeld. Every point of essentia invested in the shield or armor increases its enhancement bonus to Armor Class by 1, up to a maximum of +5. Soulbound armor and shields have an essentia capacity. Lesser soulbound armor or shields have a maximum essentia capacity of 2, while greater soulbound armor
or shields have a maximum essentia capacity of 4. The maximum value of essentia that can be invested in the armor or shield is equal to this capacity or the character’s normal essentia capacity (see Table 2–1: Essentia Capacity), whichever is less. Chakra Bind: Soulbound shields and suits of armor grant bonuses when they are bound to chakras as described below. Arms: If you bind a soulbound shield to your arms chakra, you gain a +4 insight bonus on checks or rolls made to avoid being bull rushed or overrun, or to avoid the shield being sundered. Soul: If you bind soulbound armor to your soul chakra, you gain a +4 insight bonus on saves made against the attacks of creatures whose alignments are opposed to yours in any way. For example, a lawful good character would gain this bonus against the spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural attacks of chaotic or evil creatures, while a neutral good character would gain the bonus only against the attacks of evil creatures. Neutral characters gain no benefit from this chakra bind. Aura and Caster Level: Moderate abjuration (lesser) or strong abjuration (greater); CL 6th (lesser) or 18th (greater). Construction: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, magic vestment, essentia pool 2 (lesser) or 4 (greater).
