   Spoiler: The Dragonshaper! 
    Entry Requirements  
   
    Skills:  Knowledge (arcana) 8 ranks. 
    Invocations:  Ability to use least draconic invocations. 
    Meldshaping:  Ability to shape three soulmelds; ability to bind a soulmeld to a chakra. 
    Special:  Breath Weapon 2d6 (or greater). 
   
  
  BAB 1/2, Poor Fort/Ref, Good Will, d6 HD.

   Invocation Investment 1 
   +1 level of existing meldshaping class and +1 level of existing invocation-using class

    8 
   Chakra binds (arms, brow, shoulders)

    9 
    
   +1 level of existing meldshaping class and +1 level of existing invocation-using class 
   
    10 
   (some sort of capstone) 
   +1 level of existing meldshaping class and +1 level of existing invocation-using class 
   
    
    Weapon and Armor Proficiency:   None new.
  
    Meldshaping and Invoking:   As standard for PrC progressions.
  
    Invocation Investment (Su):   Invest essentia into invocations to make them more powerful. Essentia can only be invested 1/day when you shape soulmelds. The invested invocation has basic numeric effects increased by +1 per essentia invested. Using the invocation uninvests the essentia, so each "bonus" can only be used 1/day.
  Max essentia invested at 1st level is 1. Max increases to 2 at 7th level.
  Max number of invested invocations = class level.
  
   Examples:  Frightful Presence (+1 minute duration, +1 save DC), Humanoid Shape (no effect), Voidsense (+5 feet range), Draconic Flight (+5ft speed, +1 Con checks).
  
    Chakra Binds:   As standard.

   Here's what I have so far. 
  
  Dragonfire Adept 1/Soulborn (AVB) 3/Dragonshaper 2 // Incarnum Dragon 6
  
  I've speced the character to have knowledge checks through the roof and use Knowledge Devotion in every encounter. Additionally has at will detect magic/evil/chaos and can  identify  items as a full-round action with no material components. Pretty much meant to be the skill monkey, but there's no trapfinding...
  
  Primary damage output is from a bite attack (natural soulblade + KnowDev + Smite + Dread Carapace = can reasonably expect +13 [1d6+17]) and breath weapons (3d6 fire || 1d8 untyped + 1 essentia damage).  Question: Does Knowledge Devotion apply to breath weapon damage? 
  
  Has Gold Dragon Heritage, so I was thinking something along the lines of our characters being half-siblings.
