Shaman
Commune, Grow, Guide
Description
Amongst the people who follow the Primal Powers, there are none more in tune than the Shamans.
Shamans are mystics who collect wisdom, sharing it with those they seem worthy and guiding others to greener pastures.
Cultures centered around Primal Worship revere Shamans as those who have attained greater knowledge of its ways. This reverence must be met by the action and wisdom of the Shaman to be maintained.
All Shamans possess the power to call upon and speak with the natural spirits of the world in their myriad forms due to ancient oaths spoken only to those worthy of such knowledge.
Play a Shaman if:
- Want to be a wise mentor for your group.
- Earn the respect of others through merit.
- You want to get a little hippy-dippy with it.
Class Feature
Kindred Spirit
Each Shaman is host to a special spirit that is formed from their life energy.
As a quick action, you may direct your spirit to an ally or point within (8+Pres)u. While the spirit is at that point or with that ally, you may use it as the origin of a spell you are casting as if you were there. Your Spirit immediately returns to you should you get farther than (2*[8+Pres])u away.
Your Spirit cannot be destroyed as long as you live and will simply reappear near you after 2D6 rounds after being damaged by magic attacks.
