Of Unified Intent

As an incarnate confronts their inner self and cultivates their soulborn magic, they inevitably find themselves drifting towards unity. They come to terms with their new reality, and their body and soul begin to rejoin anew. Like the beings of the outer planes, the incarnate's soul becomes its body, and its body becomes its soul.

Bearing the soul of such defining cosmic entities undoubtedly alters the psyche and perspective of its bearer. Its common that an incarnate seeks out entities they take after in order to learn more of what they are becoming. The developing kinship often create incarnates that aspire to the same heights as these creatures.

Creating an Incarnate

The most important thing to think about when you are making an incarnate is the moment where their soul was severed from their body. How did it happen? Were they in the midst of a raid and got cut down, only to force themselves back to life before bleeding out? Were they sickly and on their death bed, but with a heart that refused to die? Or maybe the work of a mad wizard or ardent celestial intentionally severed your body and soul? Whatever the reason, the impetus for the shift is likely to color your perceptions of this power you have come across.

While an incarnate does not immediately obtain an incarnation, the cosmic forces that respond to your incarnate aren't likely to change massively from the time of transformation. Think about your character's alignment and temperament, and where they would fit into the cosmos. A character's self perception can drastically alter the kind of power that seeks out their exposed spirit, however. A character that thinks themselves a monster may find themselves filled with demonic power, and a character that thinks themselves a messiah may find themselves filled with the power of upper planes.

Class Features

As an incarnate, you gain the following class features

Soul Shape

When your body and spirit were first split, the true nature of your soul was revealed to you, imparting you with latent abilities. Choose one of the following: the Shape of the Warrior, the Shape of the Conduit, the Shape of the Guardian, or the Shape of the Beast, each of which are detailed later in this document. Your choice of shape will grant you features at 1st, 5th, 11th, and 15th level.

Soul Barrier

The most basic expression of your freer spirit is a ward of soulstuff that defends your mind and body. This barrier is a pool of shielding energy equal to three times your incarnate level. Whenever you take damage, you can use your reaction to expend any number from this pool, up to the amount remaining in this pool, to reduce the damage you take by that amount. Until the end of your next turn, any damage you take that is equal to or less than the amount you spent is reduced to 0.

This barrier regains all of its shielding power whenever you finish a long rest, and half of its shielding power when you finish a short rest.

Spellcasting

Starting at 2nd level, you learn to express the font of divine power in your soul through the enactment of spells.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the incarnate spells you know and replace it with another spell from the incarnate spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Cosmic Incarnation

Starting at 3rd level, you choose the archetypal cosmic force your soul has begun to mimic. Generally, an incarnate's soul seeks to mimic cosmic forces that embody the individual's views. Choose one of the following: Celestial Soul, Abyssal Soul, or Verdant Soul.

Your choice of incarnation grants you features at 3rd level, 7th level, 14th level, and 18th level.

Manifest Auras

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to make the essence of a creature's soul visible to you. As an action, you can activate this sight for the next minute. For the duration, every creature within 30 feet of you appears to radiate a colorful aura in your vision. Each creature's aura appears differently based on their cosmic significance and power. You can see this aura through cover, and even if the creature is invisible, allowing you to ignore the condition. You know the emotional state of every creature you see this way, and have advantage on Wisdom (Insight) and Charisma checks against them.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Free Spirit

At 6th level, you can release yourself from pains of the body and mind in dire moments. When you enter a soulburn you can choose to end one of the following conditions that may be affecting yourself: charmed, frightened, poisoned, deafened, or blinded.

Elevated Being

At 10th level, your body and soul begin to merge into a singular entity sustained by the cosmos. You gain the following benefits:

• You no longer need to eat, drink, or breathe.
• You can choose to be immune to any spell or effect that would alter your form.
• You no longer need to sleep and can’t be forced to sleep by any means. To gain the benefits of a long rest, you can spend 4 hours doing light activity.

Additionally, being incapacitated no longer ends your soulburn.

Ascension

Starting at 15th level, your body has become attuned to the planes. You no longer age and can not die due to the passage of time, and you can ignore any effects caused by your environment or current plane of existence.

Additionally, you can cast plane shift without expending a spell slot. You can ignore the material components of planeshift if you use it to teleport to a plane you've been on before. Once you cast a spell using this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Immortal

At 20th level, you have become an outsider, a being at one energy of the multiverse. You can't be unwillingly possessed, teleported, or raised as an undead, nor can your soul be unwillingly stolen, eaten, or trapped.

You can spend a week designating an unoccupied 10 foot-cube as your anchor. A monument of your own design appears in that area. Only a deity or the wish spell can move or destroy this monument. If you die, a new dormant copy of your body appears on the monument. In 1d4 weeks, you awaken from this new body, retaining the same personality, memories, and abilities, as well any equipment you were attuned to, which are teleported to the monument when you awaken. Before you awaken, this body has 5 AC and 1HP. If it dies, a new one begins growing with the same roll of the d4. If a spell that has the sole effect of restoring you to life (but not undeath) is cast on this body, you instantly awaken.

Soul Shapes

The shape of one's soul determines much of an individual's outlook, and this is truer still for an incarnate, for whom this configuration is laid bare. Some say that these shapes align to cosmic archetypes written into the foundation of reality, whereas others say they are an emergent property of the soul being torn from the body. Many hold to the notion that these shapes are endemic and immutable, but more recently many have begun to suspect otherwise.

Regardless, for an incarnate the shape of their soul at the time of awakening becomes an immutable part of the entity they have become. Within this configuration an incarnate finds power and abilities otherwise unbeknownst to them. An incarnate can find themselves flooded with the memories of ancestors, latent potential, or even the presence of other beings within their spirit.

Embodied Magic

At 1st level, you are more connected to the magic of your soul. You learn both spells of your Cosmic Incarnation's selective spell list at 3rd, 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels, instead of only one at each, and you can cast any incarnate spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag. You know the mage armor spell, and it is an incarnate spell for you. You can cast it as if it had the ritual tag.

Additionally, choose one of the following classes: bard, cleric, druid, warlock, wizard. You learn two cantrips of your choice from that class's spell list and they count as incarnate spells for you.

Soul Tether

At 1st level, you can seize a portion of a creature's soul to your own. As an action, you can manifest this tether on a creature you can see within 60 feet of you, which appears as a translucent ethereal cloud which reaches from you to the target. The target remains tethered until you use this feature on another creature, until you dismiss it as a bonus action, or until they are farther than 60 feet away from you.

As part of the action used to create the tether, and as an action on subsequent turns, you can impose one of the following effects on the creature:

Disrupt Energy. Make a melee spell attack against the creature. This attack ignores cover. On a hit, they take force damage equal to 2d10 force damage.

This damage increases to 3d10 at 5th level, 4d10 at 11th level, and 5d10 at 17th level.

Supplant Energy. The creature must make a Charisma saving throw, which they can choose to fail. On a failure, the first attack they make before the end of their next turn is made with advantage or disadvantage (your choice).

Starting at 5th level, if the attack hits, its damage is increased or reduced by 1d10 (your choice). This increases to 2d10 at 11th level, and 3d10 at 17th level.

Manipulate Energy. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw, which they can choose to fail. On a failure, you forcibly move creature up to 15 feet in a direction using one of its speeds, ignoring opportunity attacks.

This movement increases to 20 feet at 5th level, 25 feet at 11th level, and 30 feet at 17th level.

Spiritual Recovery

At 5th level, you can regain some of your magical energy by slowly absorbing ambient life energy from the world around you. During a short rest, you choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your incarnate level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest

For example, when you are a 5th-level incarnate, you can recover up to three levels worth of spell slots, You can recover either a 2nd-level slot and a 1st-level slot, or three 1st-level slots.

Soul Furnace

Also at 5th level, you can consume some of your own soul power to enhance your spells further. Whenever you spend a spell slot to cast an incarnate spell, you can choose to lose a number of hit points from your Soul Barrier equal to three times the spell slot's level to cast that spell as if you used a spell slot one level higher. If there aren't enough hit points in the barrier, this ability fails.

Exalted Magic

Starting at 11th level, you can tap into the very foundation of your soul in order to cast a higher tier of magic. Choose one 6th-level spell from the the spell list the class you chose in your Embodied Magic feature. You learn that spell and it is an incarnate spell for you.

You gain a special 6th-level spell slot you can use to cast this spell or any other incarnate spell you know. Once you use this spell slot you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

At 15th level, you learn more spells of your choice from that class's spell list: a 7th-level and an 8th-level spell. Additionally, you gain a special 7th and 8th-level spell slot that function in the same way.

Shape of the Guardian

The shape of the guardian grants the incarnate a guardian spirit, which watches over and protects them and their allies from harm. It may be that the guardian is sentient, born of a fragment of suppressed personality or it was a separate entity that bonded with your soul without your knowledge. Or perhaps, your guardian may also be a manifestation of your will to protect, born of a moment in your past where you wished you had the power to save a loved one.

Embodied Ferocity

At 1st level, your form changes to become more monstrous and beastly.

Unarmored Defense. Your body takes on a more monstrous or wild appearance. You grow scales, fur, bony plating, or similar protections. While you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 13 + your Charisma modifier.

Natural Weapons. You develop up to three natural weapons, which you are proficient with and can use to make melee weapon attacks. These can take the shape of horns, claws, sharpened teeth, club-like arms, a barbed tail or similar features. On a hit, they deal magical bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, as appropriate for the weapon, equal to 1d10 + your Strength modifier.

Choose one of these weapons to gain one of the following benefits: the reach or ranged 20/60 weapon property, advantage on attacks against targets grappled by you, or its damage die is increased to 2d6.

Rampage

Also at 1st level, your beastly soul demands you to rend down those who stand in your way. Once each turn, when you score a critical hit or reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you can move up to half your speed and make a single weapon attack with a natural weapon against a different creature.

Multiattack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn and only attack with natural weapons.

Adaptive Body

Also at 5th level, your body changes to allow new modes of mobility. You gain one of the following benefits: a climb or swim speed equal to your base speed, or doubled jump distance.

Survival Instinct

At 11th level, your soul will not allow you to perish. When you end your turn with less than half of your maximum hit points, you gain temporary hit points equal to Charisma modifier, which last until the end of your next turn. When you make a natural weapon attack while you have these temporary hit points, it deals additional damage equal to your Charisma modifier.

Carnage

At 15th level, your bestial soul demands you rend all. Whenever another creature within 30 feet of you scores a critical hit or is reduced to 0 hit points, you can move up to your speed without provoking opportunity attacks and make a single natural weapon attack.

Cosmic Incarnations

The freed soul of the incarnate is directly exposed to the cosmic forces that constantly radiate in the background of reality. Their souls begin to shift and change to reflect the nature of the cosmic energy they have attracted most. Generally, it reflects the kind of cosmic entity that best reflects their alignment, however this can be influenced by a creature's self perception or even external forces.

Healing Touch

Also at 3rd level, the divine aspect of your aura lets you direct your energy to heal the wounds of others. As a bonus action, you touch a creature and they regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your Charisma modifier + your incarnate level.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.

Starting at 7th level, when you heal someone using this feature, you can free a creature from any curse, as well as end any disease, poison, blindness, or deafness afflicting it.

Divine Proclamation

At 7th level, you have learned an element of the language of divine creation. As an action, you utter one of the divine words listed below. Every creature within 30 feet of you is affected by the proclamation.

• Peace. For the next minute, any time a creature under this effect is attacked, the attack is made at disadvantage. If the creature is forced to make a saving throw, the saving throw is made at advantage. If a creature attacks or forces another creature to make a saving throw, they lose this benefit.
• Humility. You can inflict 8d6 radiant damage to each creature. A creature can choose to kneel and become prone to avoid the damage.
• Salvation. Each conscious creature with no more than half of their maximum hit points regains health equal to equal to 2d6 + your incarnate level.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Seraphic Form

Starting at 14th level, you can use a bonus action to manifest pairs of spectral wings from your back. While the wings are present, you have a flying speed of 30 feet. The wings last until you're incapacitated, you die, or you dismiss them as a bonus action. Additionally, you gain resistance to radiant damage.

Aura of Paradise

At 18th level, you can extend the influence of your heavenly soul into the very earth on which you stand. As an action, you can exude a powerful aura of positive energy that affect all creatures of your choice within 120 feet. An affected creature either regains 10d6 hit points or takes 10d6 radiant damage (your choice). As the aura extends from you, it turns the area within 120 feet of you into a heavenly version of itself for 1 hour, gaining the following properties:

• Any magical darkness, curse, or disease within the area is suppressed.
• Creatures within the area feel perfectly sated, as they do not need to eat, drink, or breathe.
• Whenever a creature makes an attack against a creature with 0 hit points, it must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or the attack misses. On a success, it rolls the attack as normal.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Additionally, if you stay in this area for the entire hour, its duration extends to 24 hours. If you use this feature in the same place every day for 30 days it becomes permanent. This transformation can only be ended with the wish spell.

Abyssal Soul

Some incarnates feel a wellspring of dark ambition within them, guiding their souls towards the ceaseless hunger of the abyss. It may be that a demon has cursed your soul, or that this black flame was lit of your own volition, or that you are the product of a dark lineage. Whatever the reason, your soul has grown closer to the abyss, and within that fact you have found an insatiable yearning for power, and a means to obtain it.

Subjugate

At 14th level, you can emulate a fraction of a demon lord's crushing presence. You gain resistance to acid, fire, lightning, or poison damage (your choice). You are immune to being frightened, and when another creature attempts to frighten you, you can use your reaction to attempt to turn the fear back on that creature. The creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be frightened by you for 1 minute, or until it breaks line of sight with you.

Pecking Order

At 14th level, your soul has become corrupt and powerful enough to rend demonic spirits and bend them to your will. You have advantage on all skill checks and saving throws made against demons whose CR is less than or equal to half of your level, and such demons have disadvantage on all attack rolls, skill checks, and saving throws made against you.

Overlord

At 18th level, the abyss has granted you your own domain squeezed between its boundless layers. As an action, you tear a hole through space, creating a portal in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you that opens up into your own personal dimension. The portal is large enough to allow Large creatures to pass unhindered, and lasts 1 minute.

Your domain starts as an empty cubic room 500 feet long on side, made of metal, stone, bone, flesh or similar materials. By spending 10 minutes concentrating while inside, you can create, alter, or destroy a nonmagical structure or object, or change the audible, visual, tactile, and olfactory properties inside your domain. For example, you can create a fortress, or make the ceiling look like a sky, and create clouds that constantly pour down rain. Anything that is created within your domain disappears immediately if it is taken out, and can't be used as a material component.

No matter where you are, you always know if a creature is inside of your domain, what it looks like, and where exactly it is. While inside your domain, you can use an action to reopen the portal in the closest unoccupied space to the last location you opened it. Only one portal to your domain made using this feature can exist at a time.

Verdant Soul

Those incarnates who feel most at home in the forests and wilderness are sometimes taken in mother nature's nurturing grasp. Granted an inherent kinship with the earth, these incarnates are normally protectors of nature, or protected by nature. Whenever a child is given to the wilds or blessed by the spirits of the trees, there is a chance that their soul will bloom into a resplendent flower.

Bonded Tree

At 18th level, you can create a massive tree which is magically bound to you. As an action, you can create this tree in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. The tree has a 15-foot radius and is 250 feet tall at its tallest peak. If the tree can't fit in the area, this ability fails. The tree lasts for 24 hours. The tree becomes permanent if you use this feature every day in the same place for one month. You automatically know if this tree is ever harmed, and you know the identity of the creature that harmed it.

The area within 30 feet of the tree is magically protected. You can choose to affect the area with the effects of three of the following spells, centered on points of your choice: entangle, fog cloud, gust of wind, spike growth, wind wall, or a similar effect the DM deems fit. These effects last as long as the tree, and creatures of your choice can completely ignore their effects.

Additionally, while you have any existing sacred trees, you can use your action to open a portal in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you that connects to one of your sacred trees of your choice, which lasts 1 minute or until you dismiss it (no action required). The portal must fit within a 20-foot square, and must be created on a natural surface, such as unworked stone, a field of glass, or the bark of a tree. Alternatively, you can create a portal from one of your sacred trees to the last place you created a portal.

Once you use create a sacred tree or a portal using this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Draconic Soul

The ferocious and prideful of the incarnates can soon find themselves gripped by the soul of dragon. Draconic Soul incarnates find within themselves confidence and a sense of superiority. Draconic power is intoxicating, and many find themselves desperate to emulate the hoards of dragons or to find draconic artifacts to increase their power.

Draconic Essence

At 3rd level, you pick a type of dragon to emulate. Your choice determines the nature of your draconic powers and alters your appearance. Examples of such changes include obtaining a gold dragon's whiskers, or the gauntness of the black dragon. You know how to read, write, and speak Draconic. Additionally, you gain proficiency in the Perception skill and your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that this proficiencies.

At 7th level, you gain resistance to this damage type.

Draconic Essence Table

Dragon's Breath

Also at 3rd level, you can use your action and expend a spell slot to exhale destructive force. Your draconic essence determines the shape, and damage type of the exhalation. If your breath weapon is a line, it has a width of 5 feet and a length of 10 feet plus five times your incarnate level. If it is a cone, its length is 10 feet plus five times half your incarnate level. Each creature in the breath's area must make a saving throw against your Spell Save DC, of a type determined by your draconic essence. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d8 damage for a 1st level slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level above 1st, or half as much on a success.

Using your dragon's breath consumes a massive amount of magical energy, and requires you recharge briefly after you use it. As such, you can't cast a spell in the same turn you use your dragon's breath, or vice versa.

Additionally, the damage for a 1st-level slot increases to 4d8 at 7th level.

Heightened Breath Weapon

At 7th level, you gain one of the following secondary breath weapons based on your draconic essence. A DM can allow you to pick a different essence's breath weapon if they deem fit. When you expend a spell slot to use your breath weapon, you can instead use this one. Once you use this breath weapon, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Sleep Breath (Brass). You exhale gas in a cone. Roll 4d8 for a 1st level slot, plus 2d8 for each spell level above first. If the current hit points of any of the creatures within the cone are less than the result, they are knocked unconscious for 10 minutes, or until they take damage or someone uses an action to wake them.

Paralyzing Breath (Silver). You exhale gas in a 15-foot cone for a 1st level slot, plus 5 feet for each spell level above 1st. Each creature must make a Constitution saving throw, or become paralyzed until the end of their next turn.

Repulsion Breath (Bronze). You exhale repulsion energy in a 30-foot cone for a 1st level slot, plus 10 feet for each spell level above 1st. Each creature in its area must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 60 feet directly away from you.

Slowing Breath (Copper). You exhale gas in a 15-foot cone, for a 1st level slot, plus 5 feet for each spell level above 1st. Each creature must succeed a Constitution saving throw or it can't use reactions, its speed is halved, and it can't make more than one attack on its turn. In addition, the creature can use either an action or a bonus action on its turn, but not both. This effect lasts until the end of your next turn.

Weakening Breath (Gold). You exhale gas in a 30-foot cone, plus 5 feet for each spell level above 1st. Each creature in its area must succeed on a Strength saving throw or have disadvantage on Strength-based attack rolls, Strength checks, and Strength saving throws, and deals only half damage with weapon attacks that use Strength, until the end of your next turn.

Empowered Breath (Chromatics). You use your breath weapon normally, but its length is doubled and its damage die increase from d8s to d12s.

Dragon Wings

At 14th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn. You can't manifest your wings while wearing armor unless the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when you manifest them.

Dragon's Lair

At 18th level, you gain the ability to create a lair of your own. As an action, you can attempt to lay claim to the area within 30-feet of you. You enter a territorial trance for an hour, at the end of which you unleash a vast amount of magic to terraform that area. This can include alterations like destroying solid rocks and trees, raising or depressing the land, causing water to fill any depressions. This lair and its alterations last for 24 hours, but becomes permanent if you use this feature every day in the same place for one month. Permanent lairs end if you use this feature to create another permanent lair while you already have one.

You can use your action while inside of an already formed lair to change its landscape further; each action allows you to terraform an area that can fit in a 10-foot cube. You can use your reaction whenever a creature you know is in your lair moves within it to force it to make a saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, it takes 4d8 damage, or half as much on a success. The type of damage and saving throw are the same as your breath weapon.

The radius of this lair increases by 10 feet for every 1000gp within its area. Additionally, your maximum hit points increase by 1 for every 1000gp within its area (maximum of 50). In order for the radius or your maximum hit points to increase, the gold must have been within the area for at least 1 week. When you visit your lair, you immediately know if something that has been there for at least a week has been taken, and know exactly where taker is for the next week or until you retrieve the item.

Once you complete the trance, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Planar Dragons

There are many varied kinds of dragons scattered across the multiverse. The Draconic Soul depicts the most common, but you can expand this to include some of the rarer, plane-touched dragons. Below are some examples of how to emulate them.

Shadow Dragon. Your breath weapon releases shadows of the elements. Its damage type is necrotic, and you choose whether it is a line or cone. Your secondary breath weapon functions like your normal breath weapon, except its damage dice increase to d10s and a creature killed by it animates into an undead until the end of your turn. You can use your bonus action to command one such undead to move up to half of its speed and make a single weapon attack it knew in life against a creature of your choice.

Astral Dragon. You breath weapon is a booming cone of sound, which deals thunder damage and forces a Constitution saving throw. Your secondary breath weapon functions like paralyzing breath, but instead of paralyzing, it makes creatures frightened of you. While frightened this way, a creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move.

Pyroclastic Dragon. Your breath weapon is an explosive cone of superheated ash, which forces Dexterity saving throws. Your breath weapon's damage type is fire, but half of it's die (rounded down) deal thunder damage. Your secondary breath weapon deals damage as normal, but does force damage and automatically disintegrates nonmagical objects or creations of magical force that are entirely within the breath's area.

Styx Dragon. Your breath weapon is a cone, which deals acid damage and forces a Dexterity saving throw. Your secondary breath weapon functions like paralyzing breath, but instead of paralysis, it stuns the creature and reduces their Intelligence to 1 for the duration.
