Soulbinder
Soulbinding is a craft that has its roots in the studies of psionics and necromancy. It takes a powerful psionic ability to slip inside another creature's mind, but also takes a strong skill in the form of necromancy to affect and even manipulate the physical being.
The half-elf Davrin, a student of many forms of magic, discovered that certain people with deep relationships with one another would often possess a strong understanding of what the other was feeling or thinking, even being able to finish each others' sentences or know what they were going to do. This phenomenon captured his interest, and his experiments demonstrated that empathy was only one of the abilities that could be derived from this connection.
He discovered that this magic was something that would happen naturally between two soulmates: two individuals who had forced a deep and lasting connection with each other. To his surprised, he discovered that this binding resembled a form of necromancy that, instead of being a destructive force that leeched life energy from the target, allowed one person to send life force back into their mate to aid in recovery from illness or injury.
Further experimentation showed that with the proper technique, a bond could be created by a skilled practitioner solely through touch, who could then use that connection to manipulate the life force to drain and shape the other, or reinforce and replentish.
With practice, Soulbinders can create bonds so powerful that they could touch the mind of some targets, allowing him to understand not only their current feelings, but of their actions as well.
Soulbinders are practitioners of the arcane arts who are able to touch another being to bind the life force or energy force between the two, creating a bond. With this bond, they can proceed to drain or restore those forces. This can make them a valuable member of a party indeed, amplifying their peers.
Soulbinders also have the unique ability to learn specialized combat techniques, both physical and magical, from other humanoid opponents to incorporate into their own arsenal.
A Soulbinder may be played by any race. The Knights of Drin distrust all magical arts, and may not join.
Soulbinders are an intermediate class. Soulbinders may adventure solo, but are most highly valued as part of a party.
The Soulbinder class hall may be found in the village of Duender, far to the west of Tantallon.
