[Volthawk]

Maybe Lost too. And Half-Golem.

[zagan]

i don't recognize Lost where it's from and what does it do ?

[Volthawk]

i don't recognize Lost where it's from and what does it do ?

It's from Magic of Incarnum. I guessed you have it since you mentioned soulmelds earlier. It's basically someone who's been tainted by negative incarnum. Depending on the emotion, they get special abilities. -6 Int, too.

Yeah it's one of my favorite book, but I admit I didn't pay much attention to the monster section.

*Take a quick look*

Ah yes I see, but unless the base creature as high int you will barely have an animal with the three template.
