Bear Shaman

A shaman with this focus calls upon the mighty bear, titan of the woodlands and mountains, a paragon of
strength and ferocity, and yet also a quiet protector rich in wisdom.
Nature Bond: A bear shaman who chooses an animal companion must select a bear. If choosing a
domain, the bear shaman must choose from the Animal, Earth, Protection, and Strength domains.
Wild Empathy (Ex): A bear shaman can use wild empathy with bears and wolverines as a full-round
action with a +4 bonus.
Totem Transformation (Su): At 2nd level, a bear shaman may adopt an aspect of the bear while
retaining her normal form. She gains one of the following bonuses: movement (+10 enhancement bonus
to land speed, +4 racial bonus onSwim checks), senses (low-light vision, scent), toughness (+2 natural
armor bonus to AC, Endurance feat), or natural weapons (bite [1d6] and 2 claws [1d4] for a Medium
shaman, +2 to CMB on grapple checks). While using totem transformation, the bear shaman may speak
normally and can cast speak with animals (mammals only) at will. Using this ability is a standard action
at 2nd level, a move action at 7th level, and a swift action at 12th level. The bear shaman can use this
ability for a number of minutes per day equal to her druid level. These minutes do not need to be
consecutive, but they must be used in 1-minute increments. This is a polymorph effect and cannot be
used while the druid is using another polymorph effect, such as wild shape.
Totemic Summons (Su): At 5th level, a bear shaman may cast summon nature's ally as a standard
action when summoning bears, and summoned bears gain temporary hit points equal to her druid level.
She can apply the young template to any bear to reduce the level of the summoning spell required by
one. She can also increase the level of summoning required by one in order to apply either the advanced
or the giant template, or increase it by two to apply both the advanced and giant templates. This ability
replaces a thousand faces.
Wild Shape (Su): At 6th level, a bear shaman's wild shape ability functions at her druid level 2. If she
takes on the form of a bear, she instead uses her druid level + 2.
Bonus Feat: At 9th level and every 4 levels thereafter, a bear shaman gains one of the following bonus
feats: Diehard,Endurance, Great Fortitude, Improved Great Fortitude, Toughness. She must meet the
prerequisites for these bonus feats. This ability replaces venom immunity.
