This variant is inspired by the druidic avenger and the rage mage prestige class
http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/resources/systems/pennpaper/dnd35/soveliorsage/unearthedCoreClass.html#druidic-avenger
the class is intended to be used only by an orc race that gains a racial rage ability
(the only one I know of is the orc race from the D20 warcraft books).
Orc Druid
The Orc Druid channels her inner fury to wreak vengeance upon those who injure the natural world.
This comes at a price, however, since the orc druid must give up some of her own sensitivity to nature.
In order to become an Orc Druid, you will need to
be an Orc with rage as a racial ability.
Class Skills
Add Intimidate to the orc druid's list of class skills. Eliminate Diplomacy from the orc druid's list of class skills.
CLASS FEATURES
The orc druid has all the standard druid class features, except as noted below.
Animal Companion
An orc druid does not gain the service of an animal companion.
Overcome Spell Failure (Ex)
An orc druid gains the ability to overcome spell failure, identical to that of a rage mage.
Angry Spell (Ex)
An orc druid gains angry spell, identical to that of a rage mage.
Except that it will work for all kinds of rage and frenzy as well as any similar abilities.
Spell Rage (Ex)
An orc druid can enter a spell rage, identical to that of a rage mage.
Except that it will work for all kinds of rage and frenzy as well as any similar abilities.
And an orc druid can use this ability once per day at 1st level,
and one additional time per day for every five levels above 1st.
An orc druid does not gain the greater rage, indomitable will, or mighty rage abilities.
Spontaneous Casting
An orc druid cannot channel stored spell energy into summoning spells.
Wild Empathy
An orc druid takes a -4 penalty on wild empathy checks.
------
barbarian variant: wild tracker
Sort of a more savage and more outdoorsie detective type of feral warrior...
This variant is inspired by the barbarian variants and the watch detective prestige class
TRACKER CLASS FEATURES
A barbarian dedicated to tracking does not gain the standard fast movement, uncanny dodge, Indomitable will, and improved uncanny dodge barbarian class features,
and instead gains the following abilities.
At 1st level, a tracker gains the Scent feat.
At 2nd level, a tracker gains the Track feat.
At 3rd level, a tracker gains the Profile (Ex) class feature. This functions as the watch detective class feature of the same name.
At 5th level, a tracker gains the Sense Secret Doors (Ex) as if he was an elf. If he is an elf then he instead gains +2 to all search rolls.
At 7th level, a tracker gains the Deductive augury (Sp) class feature. This functions as the watch detective class feature of the same name.
I am trying to decide if the Tracker should also lose the damage reduction granted by the barbarian class, since other variants
give up a number of abilities equal to those that are gained... but is for example track and scent so strong that they can each
varrent having to give up abilities?
