Shamans are divine spellcasters who draw upon primal forces to power their spells. These forces can range from spirits, tribal deities, or even the planes themselves. Their relationship with their source can also vary widely, from either a willing bond with the source to a parasitic relationship, where the Shaman bends its source to do their bidding. While initially they may be mistaken for a druid, the Shaman lacks the druid’s bond with nature and their strict adherence to its balance. The role of a Shaman can also vary by community: some are direct leaders of a tribe or village, some are spiritual leaders, and some are simply 'wise folk' sought out for guidance. Shamans can also take the role of a healer or witch doctor for their community, both feared and respected for their magical prowess.

Shaman is a custom base class available on Arelith.



Introduction

Shamans are divine spellcasters who draw upon primal forces to power their spells. These forces can range from spirits, tribal deities, or even the planes themselves. Their relationship with their source can also vary widely, from either a willing bond with the source to a parasitic relationship, where the Shaman bends its source to do their bidding. While initially they may be mistaken for a druid, the Shaman lacks the druid’s bond with nature and their strict adherence to its balance. The role of a Shaman can also vary by community: some are direct leaders of a tribe or village, some are spiritual leaders, and some are simply 'wise folk' sought out for guidance. Shamans can also take the role of a healer or witch doctor for their community, both feared and respected for their magical prowess.

Class Mechanics

Requirements

Alignment restrictions: None

Spellcasting: Requires a Deity, alignment within the deity's worshipers' alignments and Piety to cast spells greater than circle 6.

Class Features

  • Hit Die: d8
  • BAB: Medium
  • Proficiencies: Simple weapons, light and medium armor, and shields
  • Saving Throws: High: Fortitude and Will; Low: Reflex
  • Skill Points: 4 + int modifier ((4 + int modifier) * 4 at 1st level)
  • Special:
  • All shaman summons will now have the ghostly visage VFX applied to them, to represent the spiritual nature of shaman magic.
  • Shamans can tend to plants and encourage their growth.
  • Languages: Sylvan at level 1 and Animal at level 6.
  • If Shaman levels are more than half of the total levels, the following applies:
  • If multiclassed into a full BAB class, the pre-epic BAB lost from not having full BAB progression is regained as soft AB. This does not increase APR.
  • Each and any multiclass now provides more synergy CL for the first 2 levels, then switches to 1/3 CL per level at the 3rd level and beyond. Different multiclass will stack for the extra 1/3 CL calculation purposes.
  • Examples:
   # 23 Shaman / 3 Barb / 4 Ranger (16 Shaman, 3 barb, 1 ranger pre-epic)
   Actual Pre-epic BAB: 16 / Soft AB: +4 / 4 APR
