Chakra: Shoulders Saving Throw: None

You shape incarnum into blue crystalline plates of shoulder armor. They fl oat slightly above your shoulders, leaving room for clothing and other armor. In battle, these pauldrons seem to draw attacks toward them, steering blows away from your most vital areas.

The use of adamant pauldrons carries a stigma in some incarnate circles because of the example of Murthien the Soul-Render. The infamous incarnate is said to have worn adamant pauldrons on which the tormented visages of imprisoned souls were clearly visible, wracked with pain from the necrocarnum energies Murthien wielded. Wise incarnates refuse to allow the corrupted practice of one notable individual to prevent them from employing a highly useful soulmeld, however. Your adamant pauldrons grant you protection from physical attacks. Whenever a critical hit or sneak attack is scored on you, there is a 25% chance that the critical hit or sneak attack is negated and damage is instead rolled normally. Essentia: You gain damage reduction equal to the number of points of essentia invested in this soulmeld. This damage reduction is bypassed only by attacks of an alignment opposed to that of your incarnate cause (good, evil, chaos, or law). Thus, if you invest 3 points of essentia in your adamant pauldrons and you are a good incarnate, you gain damage reduction 3/evil. Chakra Bind (Shoulders)

Your incarnate pauldrons settle over your shoulders, and they seem to be joined by a crystalline lattice of blue energy across your back. Their power to defl ect blows away from vital areas is increased.

The chance that your adamant pauldrons negate a critical hit or sneak attack against you increases to 50%.

Descriptors: None Classes: Incarnate Chakra: Feet Saving Throw: None

You shape incarnum into a pair of sky-blue sandals. They surround your feet without quite touching them, fi tting over any boots or shoes you wear. When you use the fl ight ability of the sandals, you leave a faint trail of blue vapor behind you, which disperses after a few seconds.

Many creatures have the gift of fl ight, and with this soulmeld, you channel soul energy derived from such creatures to borrow that gift. The rilkan incarnate Davi the Trickster was rarely seen without this soulmeld shaped, and she claimed that she could communicate with the djinn whose soul energy she borrowed to form it. While worn, the airstep sandals allow you to fl y up to 10 feet (good maneuverability) as a move action once per round. You must end the fl ight solidly supported or you fall.
