Make sure your CON is very high and take the Double Chakras feat twice to gain enough slots for the soulmelds listed above. Make this a Gestalt character, stack the Binder and Warblade together and level the Incarnum and stack it with the Incarnum Blade PrC I'd take Wall of Blades (Iron Heart), Steel Wind, Absolute Steel Stance, and Iron Heart Surge At first level he gains only a +1 to Str and Dex and a +10 to speed, at the next binder level he gains a +2 and +20 respectively, and 3rd level a +3 and +30 and so on. In Ichigo's case the vestige sign would be a hollow mask and the granted powers would be increases to Str, Dex, and Speed, each of which are level dependent. It manifests the Inner Soul of the character taking on aspects of that person's desires. (Most of these are available to all soulmeld users)īinder: None of the D&D RAW vestiges work but since the Vizard mask is really an extension of the hollow inside of Ichigo, we could create a custom vestige here for this purpose called Inner Soul Vestige. (This suggested build isn't to RAW, it far exceeds the number of melds allowed and is designed to imitate the character rather than to make the character fit into RAW D&D 3.5). Bankai would be an activation of the awakened ancestral sword's abilties and soulmelds, and the vizard mask would be a soulmeld type or potentially a binding. His sanbatou (zanbatou) would be an awakened ancestral sword. Ichigo Kurosaki I would think would be best made with the Soulmelds out of Magic of Incarnum, Binder magic from Tome of Magic, and the Warblade abilities Tome of Battle.
