Soulbound

Unarmored Defense

Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Constitution modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

Bonded Soul

Choose a bonded soul, which you pull from to transform into. The options for bonded souls are listed at the end of the class. Your choice grants you features when you choose it at 1st level and again at 2nd, 7th, 11th, 14th, and 18th level.

Soulform Transformation

Starting at 1st level, you can use your action to call forth the power that lives within you to transform parts of your body to embody its might. Your transformation lasts for a number of minutes equal to half your soulbound level (rounded down). You revert to your normal form early if you are knocked unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die. You can also end your transformation on your turn as a bonus action. You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

The form this transformation takes is outlined within the section of the bonded soul chosen.

Soul Dice

Starting at 2nd level, you gain access to powers that are fueled by special dice called soul dice.

Powers. The powers your learn come from your bonded soul features.

Soul Dice. You gain access to a number of soul dice, which are d12s, equal to your proficiency bonus. A soul die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended soul dice when you finish a short or long rest.

Saving Throws. Some of your powers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the power's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Powers save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Soul Embodiments

As you continue to pull upon the power of the bonded soul within you, powers begin to manifest in new ways.

At 3rd level, you gain two soul embodiments of your choice. When you gain certain soulbound levels, you gain additional embodiments of your choice, as shown in the Soul Embodiments column of the Soulbound table. A level prerequisite refers to your level in this class.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the embodiments you know and replace it with another embodiments that you could learn at that level.

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 10th, 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.

Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 soul dice and add that to your saving throw.
