Orisons (Sp) A beastbound has access to 0 level spells known as Orisons and can cast them at will. Bonus Languages A Dochar’s can choose any bonus language from the Languages list A Dochar also knows Docharic, a secret language known only to Dochars, which she learns upon becoming a 1st-level Dochar. Docharic is a free language for a Dochar; that is, she knows it in addition to his regular allotment of languages and it doesn’t take up a language slot. Dochars are forbidden to teach this language to non Dochars. Docharic has its own alphabet.
Nature Bond (Ex) At 1st level, a beastbound forms a bond with nature. This bond takes two forms. The first is a close tie to the natural world, granting the Beastbound the domain (animal) powers and spells as spell like abilities. (see domain spells under Magic). When determining the powers and bonus spells granted by this domain, the Beastbound’s effective level is equal to his Beastbound level. The second aspect of this bond is to focus his Wild Shape ability so that the Dochar exclusively uses Beast Shape. Nature Sense (Ex) At 1st level, a beastbound gains a +3 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks. Wild Empathy (Sp) At 1st level the beastbound gains the ability to speak and detect animals as the spell at will. The effective caster level is the Dochar's level. Woodland Stride (Ex) At 2nd level, a beastbound may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at his normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion still affect him. Scent (Ex) At 2nd level, a beastbound gains the Scent feat. Wild Shape (Su) At 3rd level, a beastbound gains the ability to wildshape. This can take two forms, one of which the beastbound must choose. The beastbound can either use his wildshape as the beast shape spells or as the aspect of the werebeast spell. The effect lasts for 1 hour per Beastbound level, or until he changes back. Changing form is a standard action and doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity. Wild shape: Beast Shape Strike of the Beast: (Ex) At 3rd level, gains improved unarmed strike feat Trackless Step (Ex) At 4th level, a beastbound leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. He may choose to leave a trail if so desired. Resist Nature’s Lure (Ex) At 4th level, a beastbound gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against the spell-like and supernatural abilities of fey. Beast’s Spirit (Su) Natural Spell (Ex) At 8th level a beastbound gains the natural spell feat automatically. This allows him to cast spells while using his wild shape ability. The beastbound slowly becomes closer to nature. At 11th level a druid, chooses a drift from the Stage 1 list below. Drift is a gradual devolution into some other natural form. Those who experience this phenomenon gain attributes of animals as time goes by. The beastbound becomes more attuned to nature. At 15th and 18th level a beastbound gains an additional drift from the list above. Stages |
