The soulbound conceit is one of the coolest parts of soulbound as an rpg, it’s a blessing, an honorable duty, a terrible curse, a mark of an outsider, a profitable enterprise, a personal power play and charitable selfless act all in one, depending on the culture of the individual who’s joining a binding- and often more than one of those things at the same time.
You end up with parties stuck together all for different reasons but still unified in whatever goal they’re chasing, in a way you really don’t get out of a lot of other TTRPGs
The immortality.
Definitely the immortality and eternal youth.
If you dont get shanked on a mission too soon.
Awesome topic! :D
The problem is that it's not like you can pull a thanos and go to a farm
hahaha fair enough!
I'd become a Soulbound for the increased ability to survive. Its already tough enough to live in an actual city and like this you can actually survive and see the Realms
Noice. As the DM for my group I also looked at the Blackwatch in Game of Thrones and the Grey Wardens in Dragon Age for inspiration.
I am not familiar with those very much, but I hope it helps!
@@2Tough well to give people an idea they're both secretive societies shrouded in a long forgotten mystery that was sworn to defeat a menacing evil. The price to become a member is high indeed. So much so, that the order is romanticized to gather more recruits.
Alternative answer: "Remember that time Jafar wished he was a genie?"
Sometimes the unfathomable cosmic power is worth the itty-bitty living space. Sometimes it isn't, but you don't really think through the costs and consequences.
Awesome vid, very well articulated. Massively helpful for those who know the AoS setting and for those who don’t. Looking to get into this at some point down the line with my D&D group
Much appreciated!
Brilliant vid Doug, exactly what we needed
Yay!!! :)
Good stuff as always Doug!
I appreciate that!!
Great Job Doug you made me get interested in soulbound,(even tho I still don’t understand what a soulbound is) i was considering making my own home brew archetypes for saurus and skinks.
They're like special forces for the gods, if that helps.
I describe them as United Nations task forces. Members of different Order “countries” send representatives to the organization, which will then assign permanent teams and then literal bind their souls to each other (for both personal power and insurance that your party members can’t assassinate you).
On the subject of making homebrew archetypes, refer to the Game Master section of the core rules. There is an optional rules section for people making custom archetypes. Having done the xp math on the existing archetypes, custom archetypes are shorted 2-3 xp for their flexibility. Use that as a baseline for building your own archetypes. (Only one of the upcoming players in our campaign have chosen to go the custom route.)
Your biggest "problem" is coming up with a good racial benefit for the lizardmen. I could see you reusing the Sylvaneth racial perk for the Saurus and the Aelf racial perk for the Skinks. Or you can create something unique.
@@esweeney47 I made a homebrew Séraphon trait which allows the player to teleport with a DN 5:2 Channeling test, with 1 success more than needed allowing you to move anywhere in close range and 2 two or more in long range
Glad I could help! the descriptions below really nailed it!
Gotta say that the intro music and images are great, really fits your channel dude!
I appreciate that!
WHAT?! A Not-Stormcast can be helpful?!
Hahaha that was my reaction too
This is awesome
Awesome video Doug
Going to see of my group wants to give this a go
Hi Doug. How would you envision a soulbound party being directed? Since they can come from different gods and so forth.
I can imagine that the stormcasts guide the soulbinding process, so they'd have someone in tune with the gods and knows mighty tasks to undertake, and order/ask the soulbound to go on them. But why would they follow those orders for example (such as the sylvaneth in the party). How would they prioritize quests? And if they dont have a specific purpose after being Soulbounded, what would be their purpose or reason to stay together?
great questions! I sort of imagine it goes 2 ways: A representative of a god (priest of sigmar for example) will divine their mission and give it to them OR if there's no "Active mission from the gods" they can prioritize based on their personal interests and values. There isnt really a formal process, its up to the GM :)
Man, I want Grugni to get his own faction!
I AGREE!!!
Can I add I want valaya to comeback with her own faction
Grugni helped forge the Soulbound and, presuming he one day returns, can have them when he does.
This is a great video, man!
Hey, thanks!
Great stuff! Really got my mind spinning with new ideas
Yay!!
Sounds like some players are not familiar with groups like the Knights Templar who made similar deals for less.
Lots of folks arent, to be honest :/
@@2Tough to me, that would be the perfect example of why someone would become soul bound. Because they are “true believers.”
Makes me wonder if a soulbound could fall to chaos
I thought that too... like, maybe if the whole bonding does? Otherwise I’d imagine thier souls are so intertwined that a single one couldn’t be claimed by the dark gods
See i could imagine a large binding of just a bunch of old free guild vets all choosing near the ends of their life that they would rather die in battle in their beds....... what I am saying is I want the AOS Expendables
I love this idea so friggin much haha!
Top quality content my dude!
Thank you for watching it! :)
@@2Tough always will! Really hoping for/looking forward to your faction spotlight for Kharadron in Soulbound! Gonna be so freaking good I can tell.
Video suggestion:
What are some examples that a GM can use to portray the Soulbound organization? I have personally described it as a United Nations task force and then run it like a corporation as the game master. However I would be interested to hear the opinions of other groups. Due to the nature of the Soulbound organization, this isn’t a standard adventuring party.
In my world there is an order of priests who travel the worlds creating Soulbound pacts whenever the stars align or whatever.
When a priest decides a pact must be made he sets up stall and puts the call out. People then must travel to the location and become a petitioner. There were hundreds out up at the palace of the setting I used and many died in the subsequent trials until just the party and a few NPCs were left. Then the players decided out of the rogues list who they wanted in the party, and believe me there were no right answers lol.
I'd look at MTG lore for some inspiration. A good version of the infinite consortium could be an interesting organization to work for and provide more information intrigue. The downside of warhammer as a setting is that a limited number of cultures are on good enough terms to visit each other's lands.
I'm still hopefully waiting for the localization of Soulbound game into my native language. I definitely want to buy it for lore part.
Unfortunately, a licensed translator neglects this for the sake of other work like WFRP and Vampires the Masquerade.
hey doug, the description still just says insert video description
Fixed! Thank you!
@@2Tough its nothing man! Great video as always!
Greetings!
I was on the break but here I am. Lrts see what hapend.... Holy moly Vampires!
Still Waiting for new cool models for orc and great greenskin lore.
Welcome back! I'll see what i can wrangle up for you in the Greenskin lore department ;)
Do you think that former chaos who join order can become soulbound, or might there be a soulbound equivalent amongst chaos, death and destruction
hmm.... you know, thats a great question and I dont have a solid answer for you!
Can a vampire become soulbound? Also normal Adventures are also a thing in the mortal realms?.
We have to wait on more info about the soulblight curse to say for sure, but if nothing else, I don’t see why they can’t work alongside a binding like how stormcast do (and they aren’t Soulbound)
@@2Tough THANKS
Does Soulbound characters can't have children due to the some part of the process of soul binding or just because they don't have time?
Does Nagash have soulbound or no?
Nagash, like all of the Pantheon, was involved in the original creation of the Soulbinding ritual. In fact, he may have learned a thing or two that influenced the Ossiarchs...
There's more on the origin of the ritual in the upcoming Champions of Order book, which I think people will really dig
How is "when you die as a soulbound, your soul doesn't go to Nagash, it breaks apart and disperses." a good thing?!???! that's just a crappy end for a character you put a good amount of time into. Only way I could find that horrid end redeemable is at the end of the campaign you are freed from being soulbound, and your soul won't be destroyed upon death.
Irl I am a spiritual person with my set of "religious" beliefs so hearing that as a good thing in 2+ tough's list of good things just doesn't make sense. I'd homebrew a different thing into the death mechanics and lore.
There are as many opinions and approaches to spiritual belief as there are humans, what’s stated is my opinion.
Sure, homebrew whatever you want :)
@@2Tough
"it breaks apart and disperses" - this is definitely a good thing. Because non-existence and are better than eternal torture in the Warp, in the clutches of the Dark Gods.
Literally: in the old fantasy, the "Garden of Morr" is a place where souls were at rest until they completely dissolved and dispersed.
Is having one's soul destroyed really so terrible? I agree that in the abstract existence is preferable to non-existence, but it's not hard to imagine many fates worse than oblivion. The world's major religions have historically spent a great deal of imaginative energy doing just that.
