The Shaman
Druids think they are the only masters of the wild. They do not remember there is another tradition, as ancient as they and as powerful...
Druidic magic has been around since the beginning of the ages. The first humanoids in their simple huts and caves were often lead by these ancient nature priests, but in these days another form of nature magic was equally popular, equally powerful. These techniques have not survived the ravages of time and memory as druidic magic has, but they are beginning to make a comeback. These are the shamans- those who manipulate the power of the earth like Oracles manipulate the power of the gods and Sorcerers manipulate arcane magic. Revering ancient spirit totems, they use their abilities to become more than what they were, to evolve until they become the perfect blend of man and beast.
Role:Shamans are a different approach to druidic spellcasting, and their focused totem and spontaneous spellcasting forces them to specialize. They excel in transformations and summoning as druids do, but with only certain animals based on their mysterious totem.
Alignment: Any neutral.

All of the following are class features of the shaman.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Shamans are proficient with the following weapons: club, dagger, dart, quarterstaff, scimitar, scythe, sickle, shortspear, sling, spear, and any added by their Totem Bond. They are also proficient with all natural attacks (claw, bite, and so forth) of any form they assume with wild shift (see below).
Shamans are proficient with light and medium armor but, like Druids, are prohibited from wearing metal armor; thus, they may wear only padded, leather, or hide armor. A shaman may also wear wooden armor that has been altered by the ironwood spell so that it functions as though it were steel. Shamans are proficient with shields (except tower shields) but must use only wooden ones.
A shaman who wears prohibited armor or uses a prohibited shield is unable to cast shaman spells or use any of her supernatural or spell-like class abilities while doing so and for 24 hours thereafter.
Divine Spells
A shaman casts divine spells, which are drawn from the same spell list as the druid. Her alignment may restrict her from casting certain spells opposed to her moral or ethical beliefs; see Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells. A shaman may cast any spell she knows without preparing it ahead of time.
To prepare or cast a spell, the druid must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a druid's spell is 10 + the spell level + the shamans's Charisma modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a druid can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table: Shaman. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Charisma score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells).
Unlike the druid, a shamans selection of spells is extremely limited. A shaman begins play knowing four 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells of her choice. At each new shaman level, she gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: Shaman Spells Known. Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a shaman knows is not affected by her Charisma score; the numbers on Table: Shaman Spells Known are fixed.
In addition to the spells gained by shamans as they gain levels, each shaman also adds all summon natures ally spells to her list of spells known (all spells with the name Summon Natures Ally, and then a number). These spells are added as soon as the shaman is capable of casting them. This choice is made when the shaman gains her first level and cannot be changed. A shaman gains bonuses when summoning certain animals. This bonus is based on her totem bond.
Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered shaman level after that (6th, 8th, and so on), a shaman can choose to learn a new spell in place of one she already knows. In effect, the shaman loses the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spells level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged. A shaman may swap only a single spell at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that she gains new spells known for the level. She cannot swap any cure or inflict spells, nor can she swap any spells gained from her mystery. Unlike a druid, a shaman need not prepare her spells in advance. She can cast any spell she knows at any time, assuming she has not yet used up her spells per day for that spell level.
Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells
A shaman can't cast spells of an alignment opposed to her own or her deity's (if she has one). Spells associated with particular alignments are indicated by the chaos, evil, good, and law descriptors in their spell descriptions. Certain totems allow the shaman to ignore this restriction.
Orisons(Sp)
Shamans learn a number of orisons, or 0-level spells, as noted on Table: Shaman Spells Known under Spells Known. These spells are cast like any other spell, but they do not consume any slots and may be used again.
Bonus Languages
A shaman also knows Druidic, and is treated as a druid for purposes of teaching the Druidic language to non-druids. Shamans are forbidden from teaching this language to any non-druids. Druidic is a free language for a shaman: that is, she knows it in addition to her regular allotment of languages and it does not take up a language slot.
Totem Bond(Ex)
Each shaman gains inspiration and power from a totem. This totem grants additional weapon proficiencies and other special abilities. This totem can come from their tribe, their family, a druidic or shamanic circle they trained in, or a certain beast they dream of being more like. A shaman must pick one mystery upon taking her first level of shaman. Once made, this choice may be changed, but it may be corrupted. This rare event causes the Chaos Totem, which requires a feat to be acquired.
At 2nd level, and every two levels thereafter (excepting 20th level), a shaman learns an additional spell derived from her totem. These spells are in addition to the number of spells given on Table: Shaman Spells Known. They cannot be exchanged for different spells at higher levels.
Totem Companion(Ex)
Each shaman is joined in her quest by a beast, an animal companion of her totem destined to be her companion. A shamans animal companion is dictated by her choice of totem (although some totems give choices between a few animals) Unlike normal animals of its kind, an animal companion's Hit Dice, abilities, skills, and feats advance as the shaman advances in level. If a character receives an animal companion from more than one source, her effective shaman levels stack for the purposes of determining the statistics and abilities of the companion. If a shaman has previous levels in a class that gives an animal companion and it is not one of the animals available through her totem, she must release her prior companion and gain a new companion of the options granted by her totem. Most animal companions increase in size when their shaman reaches 4th or 7th level, depending on the companion. If a shaman releases her companion from service, she may gain a new one by performing a ceremony requiring 24 uninterrupted hours of prayer in the environment where the new companion typically lives. This ceremony can also replace an animal companion that has perished.
Wild Shift(Su)
As the druid wild shapes into any animal her heart desires, the shaman may only shift into certain beasts, but gains absolute mastery when those forms. Wild shift is granted by all totems, but has different rules for each one. A shaman may wild shift 1/day at 4th level, and 1 more time per day every 2nd level after that.
Totem Boon
At 5th, 9th, and 17th levels, a shaman gains a certain ability from her totem bond. These abilities are listed in their totem.
Half Shift(Su)
At 11th level, the shaman gains a bizarre alternative to her wild shift. She may take a form that is an amalgamation of her human and totem shape, an anthropomorphic beast. This uses the same power as her regular wild shift, and expends one use per half shift.
Totem Perfection
At 20th level, the power of the shamans totem infuses their body, and they become a true embodiment of their totem. They gain the ability to Wild Shift (and Half Shift) at will, in addition to a unique ability listed in their Totem Bond.
