The soul form provides either +4 natural armor bonus to Armor Class, +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class, DR/- equal to 5 plus half their level that stacks with any existing DR the character possesses, +5 damage, or +4 attack bonus, as well as special bonuses taken from the eidolon evolution list using the character's total level as their effective summoner level to determine evolution points.

Soul points can be gained from special actions:

• Exploiting an individual's weakspot, such as through called shot, provides one soul point. Individual weakspots can be physical like an old injury, emotional like a character's irrational fear of something, it could be a morale weakness like exploiting one's code of honor or oaths, or even an allergy via poisoning like seafood or bees.
