Can traits such as Nature Spirit or Element-Born be taken as they require traits be taken outside of the Domain. Would this be breaking the Incarnates single Sphere of Influence rule?
Example: Primal Incarnate selects Nature Spirit gaining the trait Monster Hybrid 1 then selects Heavy War Monster from the ability gained.
Would Heavy War Monster be covered under the original Nature Spirit Trait (counting as part of the same trait) or are such traits and abilities unusable by Incarnates. I would understand if no additional traits could not be selected, the question is mainly focused just on that first trait gained under Nature Spirit or Element-born. Oh, I guess the same could be asked about Twilight Beasts under Primal since it give Monster 2.
Thanks again nafka with this I can finally finish the faction.
You are correct that Incarnates cannot have traits from outside their sphere. Incarnates as a general rule can be a very strong class, just extremely focused and narrow having but a single Sphere to select traits from.
Bonus Traits from other locations etc, cannot be used.
Incarnates have always been popular among the playtesters. They are not that flexible in games, but are strong within with their limitations. I personally love my Pain Incarnates (my fey faction). In house we also have an elemental faction that focuses on incarnates.
