A weapon with a special ability must have at least a +1 enhancement bonus.

SOULBOUND WEAPON

A soulbound weapon allows its wearer to invest essentia to improve his ability to hit and deal damage.

Description: Soulbound weapons have no special appearance except when essentia is invested in them, at which point they crackle with faintly visible blue sparks.

Prerequisite: Anyone can wield a soulbound weapon, though only those with an essentia pool can take advantage of its full benefi t.

Activation: Investing essentia in or reallocating essentia invested in a soulbound weapon is part of the swift action required to invest or reallocate essentia.

Effect: A soulbound weapon serves as a receptacle for the wearer’s essentia much like a soulmeld. Every point of essentia invested in the weapon increases its enhancement bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls by 1, up to a maximum of +5. Soulbound weapons have an essentia capacity. Lesser soulbound weapons have a maximum essentia capacity of 2, while greater soulbound weapons have a maximum essentia capacity of 4. The maximum value of essentia that can be invested in the weapon is equal to this capacity or the character’s normal essentia capacity (see Table 2–1: Essentia Capacity), whichever is less.

Chakra Bind: A soulbound weapon grants extra power if you bind it to your arms, brow, or hands chakra. Each day, you must choose one of the following benefi ts for which you qualify; you cannot change your decision until 24 hours have passed.

Arms: The wearer gains a +2 insight bonus on rolls made to confi rm critical hits with the weapon.

Brow: Once per round, if you miss because of concealment, you can reroll your miss chance percentile roll one time to see if you actually hit.
