05-06-07, 02:02 PM First off, Eberron, one B two Rs.

Second it gets a mention in The Player's Guide to Eberron as a little used magical practice on Khorvaire that has some practitioners (mostly totemists) in the Eldeen Reaches, this is influanced by the various manifest zones with Thelanis and those Incarnum fey.

There's also an Island north of Xen'drik that holds host to those two scaley humanoid races from MoI, though its not particularly fleshed out.

There is no reason a Warforged couldn't use Incarnum.

05-08-07, 03:51 PM I was just musing on the incorporation of incarnum into the setting, and the elves actually have two different traditions that would be quite appropriate for it. Both the Aereni and the Valenar are quite fixated on the enduring power of their ancestors, both physically and spiritually. It wouldn't take a great leap to adapt incarnum to the local flavor.

Aereni incarnum users would draw upon the collective power of the Undying Court, crafting soulmelds with a funerary motif to become exemplars of traditional skills. Instead of "chakras," the Aereni might refer to nuanced divisions of the soul, much like the classic Egyptian ka, ba, ren, and so forth.

The Valenar would view incarnum as channeling or manifesting the spirit of their ancestral patrons. Their soulmelds would undoubtedly have a more martial appearance, and even their names for the chakras would refer to panoply (gauntlets, greaves, helm) instead of body parts (hands, feet, crown).

Cosmetically, incarnum should prove very adaptable. Altering or removing the alignment restrictions (if one so desires) might take a little more effort, but try replacing the good, evil, law and chaos descriptors with earth, air, fire and water and it quickly becomes apparent how mutable the incarnate and soulborn can be with the help of a willing DM.

05-18-07, 06:51 PM It is said that Incarnum is the power of living, dead and nonborn souls. The only question you have to answer is: Do warforged have souls and these are part of the multiverse ***''spiritual pool''?
