Shaman -Updated 2018-

Recommended Posts

As the druid is the guardian of nature, and the cleric the guardian of the gods, the shaman hovers somewhere between the two. More focused on the natural world then the cleric, yet less protective of the living natures then the druid. The shaman is often a guide for the spirits and a protector.
Shamans often come from the druidic ways, at times clerics of natural or elemental deities choose this path as well.

Spell Progression
Spell progression as the primary (or some cases both primary) spell casting class(es) requires some explanation. First of all there is no option to choose new spells when leveling in the prestige class with this ability. This means that even though the character will in theory gain higher level spell casting slots (or uses) they will need to learn the actual spells in other ways. In the case of wizards this can be done through scrolls, clerics and druids learn spells automatically and bards and sorcerers will need to level up in their primary class to learn new spells.
The next thing of note is that this ability allows the character to gain spell slots/uses. The class will not increase the caster level of spells, which is calculated based on the primary casting class(es). In other words, even though the character gains spells slots/uses his spell power will generally be lower than that of a pure class character of similar level.

Spirit Companion
The Shaman's bond with the spirits grows strong and he can now call upon a spirit companion of his choice. The choices consist of the Bison, the Hyena, the Owl, the Panda and the Hammerhead Shark.

I thought about helping players by giving some insight about the Spirit Companion. Mainly, it is to be noted that the Spirit Companion acts as a Summon and thus, occupies the Summon Slot. So whatever summon is active will be substituted by the Sp.Companion, and vice versa.

Here are the stats for the Shark (summoned at character level 17, will see if changes after level up)
