  • Wizard Spells. The Avenger adds the following spells to their repertoire as though they were Druid spells: Chromatic Orb, Web, Lightning Bolt, Improved Invisibility, Chaos, and Chain Lightning.

Shapeshifter. This Druid is not called Shapeshifter because he has access to a greater variety of forms, but rather because of his complete dedication to a single alternate form. A Shapeshifter has willingly allowed himself to become infected with lycanthropy, but due to intense study and training he has the ability to control his affliction. The Shapeshifter's particular affliction grants him what is perhaps the most well-known of the lycanthropic forms: the Werewolf.

Features:
  • No Armor. The Shapeshifter may not wear armor of any kind.

  • Werewolf Shapeshift. The Shapeshifter does not gain access to the Druid's normal list of Shapeshift forms. Instead, the Shapeshifter can assume the form of a Werewolf once per day for every two levels in this class. The Werewolf form is described in greater detail at the end of this book.

  • Greater Werewolf Shapeshift. Beginning at 13th level, the Shapeshifter may take the form of a Greater Werewolf once per day. The Greater Werewolf form is described in greater detail at the end of this book.

Totemic Druid. This Druid closely identifies with animals in particular, learning to communicate with powerful spirits and call them to his aid.

  • No Shapeshift. The Totemic Druid may not use the Shapeshift ability.

  • Summon Spirit. Once per day, plus an additional time for every five levels in this class, the Totemic Druid may summon a powerful spirit animal, chosen from the following list: Bear, Wolf, Lion, or Snake.

Starting at 3rd level, the animal has 3 Hit Dice; at 5th level, the animal has 5 Hit Dice; at 7th level, the animal has 7 Hit Dice, and at 10th level the animal has 10 Hit Dice.
