10-21-05, 06:10 PM I do not believe so. There are feats that allow you to bind two different soulmelds to the same chakra, but not one soulmeld to two chakra.

10-21-05, 06:25 PM I'm pretty sure you can, I let my DM barrow my book though.. so I can't look up an exact line. But some Totemist soulmeld that gave you claws when bound to your arms (Girralon Arms maybe?) when bound to your Totem Chakra lets you make rend attacks when you hit with your claw attacks, and it states these claws may be gotten from natural sources, other soulmelds, this soulmeld, or any other effect. This at least implies to me that you can bind this soulmeld to both your totem and arms, and thus should apply to other soulmelds.

10-21-05, 09:33 PM You can only bind a soulmeld to two chakras with the Totemist's double bind ability. And even if you do that, one of the binds must be to your totem chakra.

10-21-05, 11:42 PM You can only have 1 soulmeld period manifested. the Totemist is the only one that can bind to two points at once (and as said, one has to be to the totem).

Soulmelds are similar to artifacts in that fashion - you'll never find more than one on one person.

A better idea might be to find two soulmelds with similar powers and let one 'compensate' for another. If possible.

10-22-05, 12:55 AM Normaly you can only bind one meld to any given chakra, and that meld can only be bound to one chakra. The totemist can bind one meld to BOTH the totem chakra and another chakra, usable by that meld once said totemist reaches level 11. This is the only case in which one soulmeld can be bound to two chakras.
It is however possible, with the proper feats to either bind two different melds to the same chakra, or one meld and one piece of equipment to a chakra. These are Double Chakra and Split Chakra respectively.
I do think it would be within the realm of reason to create a feat (probably epic) that would allow one soulmeld to be bound to two chakras, but that is for you to work out.
Hope this was helpful to you.

10-22-05, 12:58 AM An interesting note fo the Totemist

If you ahve split chakra on the totem, do both soulmelds located on it get those benefits, or only one?

10-22-05, 03:44 AM What you are looking for is on page 50. It states, "He can't shape the same soulmeld more than once." First paragraph under Meld Selection.

Split Chakra would have no effect on the totem because it allows the use of a magic item and a soulmeld on the same chakra simultaneously. Since the totem chakra is not a body slot there is no magic items you can wear on it.

10-25-05, 07:10 PM What you are looking for is on page 50. It states, "He can't shape the same soulmeld more than once." First paragraph under Meld Selection.I should clarify, double totem bind at 11 kinda does allow you to have 1 meld bound to 2 chakra (but 1 must be your totem). At level 11 you can bind (for instance) Girillon Arms to both your Totem and your Arms...the description of Girillon Arms [Arm Bind] makes this absolute: "If you hit a single target with at least 2 claw attacks, whether these attacks come from your Girillon arms, a different soulmeld..." The only way to get attacks from Girillon Arms, is to have it bound to your totem as well!

10-25-05, 10:31 PM Whoops! wrong feat name!

Let's make that double chakra then. :P 2 chakra's sharing a point (and can both be bound to it too).

otherwise referr to the earlier post.

10-26-05, 01:54 AM i was looking over the post and saw something lawrence you do realize that you can have a number of soulmelds shaped equal to the number on your class table or your con score -10 whichever is lower one meld at a time would kill the classes in the book
