just for the sake of argument, is this possible?

Azurian: Incarnate 5 / Unbral Disciple 3

with Bonus essnetia (Feat)

technically i would have 10 total essentia:
Azurian -1
5 levels of Incarnate -5
3 levels of Umbral Disciple - 2
Bonus Essentia feat - 2

if i invest all 10 into Embrace of Shadow i will have a 100% miss chance with concealment as well as hide in plain sight.

what would you do with this hilarious nonsense?

You don't have the Essentia capacity to do so. At level eight you can invest 2 essentia into a soulmeld IIRC.

Nothing, as you're missing a rule: the maximum essentia capacity on page 19. You can break that limit, but not by that much (IIRC).

its not a soulmeld but a class feature. and i didnt see anything in the class or the description that says its based on the table listed in the book of Max essentia you can invest.


EDIT: you are right. damn that chart. thank you

I'm curious, is there a way to MAKE this work?

Be level 81+, or use Incandescent Champion's Incarnum Overload ability. The latter will only let the trick last for 1 round, though.

Really? That's it? Wasn't there a feat in Incarnum to expand Essence Capacity?

There's one for soulmelds and one for incarnum feats, but nothing for class features.

Get a skin of proteus and take the form of a Dusk Giant. Voila, you can now gain the required Hit Die to invest your essentia within (buy 42 chickens and eat them).
