Shaman

Toph, iconic shaman

"In the storm that is the elements, I am the calm in the center."

Calling upon the elemental forces that run through the world, the shaman is the undisputed master of the elements. Her relationship with Nature - and by extension, Gaia - is not one of worship, but of acknowledgment, a symbiosis between the spirit of the universe and one of those she considers her children who dwells within that existence. While Gaia herself is a passive, reactive entity, she bestows her gifts upon those who meditate upon the nature of the world and who would seek to maintain the natural balance: shamans, then, are effectively her agents in the world.

Shamans - and other benders - do not call upon the stuff of which the world is made. Even those who manipulate elements found readily in nature - air, earth, water - are not using the physical manifestations of those elements, but are instead manipulating the thread of the elements that is interwoven into reality itself. An earth shaman, for instance, does not manipulate actual rock and stone, but instead the thread of energy woven into the world that represents earth - thus, the results of her bending are not permanent creations, but instead temporary modifications of energy flows.

For the shaman, balance is paramount. While she can freely choose to work with only one element, her ability to interact with the energy flows at the heart of existence are heightened if she chooses to work with an opposing pair of elements, naturally counterbalancing each other both in terms of the shaman's ability to manipulate the elemental energy as well as complementing gifts granted within those energies, making shamans often well-rounded. Shamans must take care in using their powers, for calling too much upon a given element will cause Gaia to seal it against her: while this may seem unfair, for Gaia, nothing is more important than maintaining balance - even her agents must abide by the truths of Nature, even if it means putting them in grave danger.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the shaman.

Proficiencies

Weapons: Any three.

Armor: Cloth, leather.

Implements: Essences, totems.

Bending

Shamans are benders, which means that they make use of gifts, raw energy channeled from the elemental tapestry that binds all of existence together. As benders, shamans tap into this tapestry of elements to acquire flux, which they can turn into gifts. However, nature demands balance, and as shamans gather flux, they also accrue stress, inhibiting their ability to draw more flux over time.

The Elements
Element	Secondary Ability	Description	Terrains	Weather	Opposes...
Gravity	Con	attraction, unification, crushing pressure	Cities, Factories, Dungeons, Interiors	Calm, Normal Weather, Eerie Stillness	Cosmos
Shadow	Per	death, decay, entropy, dissolution	Swamps, Graveyards, Sewers	Nighttime, Heavy Clouds, New Moon	Holy
Earth	Str	stubbornness, defensiveness, overtness	Caves, Barrens, Mountains, Canyons	Dust storms, Earthquakes, Avalanches	Wind
Water	Brv	introspection, meditation, purification	Ship Decks, Rivers, Jungles, Coastlines	Rain, Fog, Mist	Fire
Ice	Con	logic, rigidness, perfection	Snowfields, Glaciers, Mountaintops, Winter	Cold, Snow, Frost	Lightning
Wind	Dex	evasive, freedom, unpredictability	Forests, Treetops, Rooftops, Airships	Windy, Tornadoes, No Clouds	Earth
Lightning	Per	change, speed, inventiveness	Plains, Power Plants, Open Oceans, Foothills	Thunderstorms, Static Electricity, Magnetic Disturbance	Ice
Fire	Str	destruction, revolution, rebirth	Dunes, Volcanoes, Savannahs, Geyser Fields	Hot Sun, Eruptions, Steam	Water
Holy	Brv	life, growth, health	Fields, Hills, Churches	Bright Sun, Daytime, Full Moon	Shadow
Cosmos	Dex	space, time, infinite expanse	Dimensional Rifts, Outer Space, Vacuums	Aurora, Haunting	Gravity

As a move action, the shaman can tap one of her elemental suites. When she does so, she rolls her flux die, and acquires that much flux, while also accruing the same amount of stress. If you have more stress than your stress limit against an element, you cannot tap it (but see below); likewise, you cannot have more flux for an element than your stress limit. Even if you have multiple actions, you can only tap a given element once on each of your turns.

When you tap an element, if the amount of stress you acquire would put you over your stress limit for that element, you instead only gain enough flux and stress to put you at your stress limit.

Gift Grades
Grade	Minimum Wisdom	Minimum Secondary Ability	Flux Cost
Small	11	9	1
Modest	13	10	2
Fair	15	11	4
Generous	17	12	8
Grand	19	14	16
Ancient	21	16	32

If you tap an element and have access to the suite of it's opposed element, you reduce your stress for the opposed element by the amount of flux you gain for the element you are tapping.

You can never have more flux than your current stress for a given element. If you do, your flux is immediately reduced to equal your stress.

If you are in an environment associated with an element you tap, you gain double the amount of flux. If you are in an environment associated with the element's opposed element, you instead halve the amount of flux you gain.

Flux is a powerful but relatively short-lived energy, and dissipates naturally over time. You lose all flux of an element after 5 minutes.

You can meditate to alleviate the stress you have accrued against the elements. Doing so requires 1 round of concentration, at the end of which you reduce your stress against all elements by half your level bonus, rounded down (min 1). You can automatically remove all accrued stress with a short rest.

To use a gift, called bending, you must spend an amount of flux - dependent upon the gift's grade - of the element associated with that gift. If you have access to a suite and are in a terrain associated with that element, you can use that suite's basic gift at will, which costs no flux.

The shaman begins with four known gifts. She gains knowledge of additional gifts each level, as per the class table, above. At fourth level and every four levels after, she can trade out up to two gifts for new gifts from any suite she can access, of any grade she can access.

If you would gain access to a suite, you can choose to instead gain a bonus feat, which must be a feat for which you qualify. If you would gain access to a suite and already have access to six suites, you gain a bonus feat instead.

The shaman gains a bonus to her stress limit for each of her suites equal to her Charisma modifier.

The shaman's key ability for her natural attacks is her Wisdom.

Balance

Above all else, shamans revere the balance inherent in Nature. Though she may only have knowledge of some elements, she gains an intuitive understanding of their opposites.

You are considered to have access to elements that are opposed to elements you have access to for purposes of flux.

You can tap elements opposed to elements you have access to.

Affinity

As the shaman grows in power, she becomes more strongly attuned to the flows of energy in the world, and they respond in kind, empowering the shaman continuously in various ways.

At 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th levels, choose one of the following abilities.

▶ Earth's Root

While in Earth terrain, when subject to forced movement, you can reduce the forced movement by a number of squares equal to your Strength modifier; this is treated as a feat bonus.

▶ Flame's Destruction

While in Fire terrain, you gain a +1 feat bonus to all damage potency, and you take damage 1 potency additional damage whenever you take damage.

▶ Gravity's Pull

While in Gravity terrain, all creatures within 20 feet of you lose and cannot gain float, and all squares within that area are treated as difficult terrain.

▶ Ice's Clarity

While in Ice terrain, you can take 10 on all d20 rolls.

▶ Life's Beauty

While in Holy terrain, at the start of each of your turns, if you are not dying, you can spend a healing surge as a non-action.

▶ Lightning's Flash

While in Lightning terrain, you can shift an additional time on your turn.

▶ Shadow's Decay

While in Shadow terrain, you gain a +2 feat bonus to all damage potency of ongoing damage effects you produce.

▶ Time's Course

While in Cosmic terrain, you gain innate compress equal to one-half your level bonus, rounded down.

▶ Water's Purity

While in Water terrain, you gain a feat bonus on saving throws equal to one-half your level bonus, rounded down.

▶ Wind's Freedom

While in Wind terrain, you ignore difficult terrain.

 : '' "In the storm that is the elements, I am the calm in the center." ''
-The [[Class:_Druid|druid]]'s province is the environment; he concerns himself with each part of the world in turn, attuning himself to the various natural places of the planet. The shaman takes a much different approach to Nature, however: rather than attune herself to a specific land, she attunes herself to the cycle of elements. This universal approach allows her to access the power of Nature wherever she may go, but she requires her chosen elements to work with.
+Calling upon the elemental forces that run through the world, the shaman is the undisputed master of the elements. Her relationship with Nature - and by extension, Gaia - is not one of worship, but of acknowledgment, a symbiosis between the spirit of the universe and one of those she considers her children who dwells within that existence. While Gaia herself is a passive, reactive entity, she bestows her gifts upon those who meditate upon the nature of the world and who would seek to maintain the natural balance: shamans, then, are effectively her agents in the world.
-For the shaman, the concept of balance is pantamount. Whereas other Natural classes tend towards variety and versatility, the shaman's abilities are incredibly focused; while a creative shaman can attain versatility, she will always be restricted to her chosen elements. A shaman's choice of elemental speaks a good deal about her personality, as well as the method in which she uses them; oftentimes younger shamans will favor one element over others, while older shamans often seek to combine their chosen elements in achieving their aims.
+Shamans - and other benders - do not call upon the stuff of which the world is made. Even those who manipulate elements found readily in nature - air, earth, water - are not using the physical manifestations of those elements, but are instead manipulating the thread of the elements that is interwoven into reality itself. An earth shaman, for instance, does not manipulate actual rock and stone, but instead the thread of energy woven into the world that ''represents'' earth - thus, the results of her bending are not permanent creations, but instead temporary modifications of energy flows.
-'''Adventures:''' Shamans seek challenges that require them to use the elements in different ways, allowing them to experiment with new combinations, as well as challenging them to gain a more thorough understanding of the elements. Some shamans seek to share their beliefs about balance with others, and one of the best ways to show the strength of elemental balance is via adventuring.
+For the shaman, balance is paramount. While she can freely choose to work with only one element, her ability to interact with the energy flows at the heart of existence are heightened if she chooses to work with an opposing pair of elements, naturally counterbalancing each other both in terms of the shaman's ability to manipulate the elemental energy as well as complementing gifts granted within those energies, making shamans often well-rounded. Shamans must take care in using their powers, for calling too much upon a given element will cause Gaia to seal it against her: while this may seem unfair, for Gaia, nothing is more important than maintaining balance - even her agents must abide by the truths of Nature, even if it means putting them in grave danger.
-'''Characteristics:''' The shaman is a powerful Force-user, if her chosen elements are available; while other Force-users are limited in some fashion, a shaman can continue to use her abilities again and again. However, this power comes at a price: a shaman without access to her elements is next to useless. Shamans have a keen understanding of the elements and how they interact, and are often knowledgeable of the other Forces in their Trinity (Divine and Void).
-'''Religion:''' As part of the Trinity of Philosophy (in which resides Divine), shamans often actively refuse to worship a deity. They acknowledge Nature as the more powerful force in the world, an impartial creator that demands nothing and gives nothing in return. She acknowledges the cycle of elements as a reflection of the circle of life, and believes in that order above all else.
-'''Background:''' Shamans often come from more primal backgrounds, as cultures that have developed complex social or technological advances often lose touch with the natural world. Shamans may come from such complicated lands, though these shaman are often distraught and feel a need to return to a simpler time and world. Shamans may be attracted to more civilized lands by the lure of possibly teaching new people about the elements, or simply to reach an understanding with such people.
-'''Races:''' Any race with a natural connection to Nature is an excellent fit for the shaman, and races that tend towards tribal or loose groupings (such as halflings or orcs), as well as those that dwell in wilderness rather than in cities, may produce shamans. Races and nations that have well-developed or complicated social settings or technological advances may lack the primal understanding necessary to produce shamans.
-'''Other Forces:''' Shamans get along well with any Natural class, and they tend to detest any Divine or Void class. Shamans also tend towards a dislike of Technology, though there certainly are shamans keenly interested in such gadgets; those who show an interest in Technology often espouse the philosophy that both Nature and Technology seek to reinforce the natural laws of the world. Magic and Psionics, however, are often seen as "cheating" the world. Time, Blue, and Chaos are often left unconsidered by most shaman; some are intrigued by Time's abilities, while others despise it as the worst sort of manipulation of the natural world. Blue is often seen as a useful tool to show that a primal understanding of the elements was once common to most people, while Chaos is often simply ignored due to its nature.
-'''Role:''' The shaman is a Force-user, and that usually means that she will be in the back of an adventuring party, using her Force abilities. Her ability to use geomancy at will, with no limits, can be incredibly useful, but the requirement that her elements be present may make her unreliable. A shaman's abilities are also greatly influenced by which elements she chooses: more than almost any other Force-user, the shaman has the capacity for wielding a wide array of energy types.

Rather, a shaman who uses geomancy calls upon the elemental cycle inherent in the world, allowing her to produce effects by calling upon the raw elements from which existence is woven.
+'''Armor:''' Cloth, leather.
-'''Elements (Ge):''' The shaman understands the world in terms of elements, the fundamental building blocks of existence. The elements are cyclical, and there is a natural progression, beginning with gravity in the center, and ending with cosmos on the outmost edge. Certain terrains are focal points for raw elemental power, but unlike the druid - who utilizes all aspects of a given terrain - the shaman focuses on the flow of elemental energy through a place.
+'''Implements:''' [[D20_Mechanic:_Implements#Essences|Essences]], [[D20_Mechanic:_Implements#Totems|totems]].
-A shaman need not ever have experienced a terrain that is a focal point for a given element for purposes of geomancy; her contemplation and commune with Nature allow her to arrive at the understanding of an element without ever having experienced it.

+Shamans are benders, which means that they make use of ''gifts'', raw energy channeled from the elemental tapestry that binds all of existence together. As benders, shamans ''tap'' into this tapestry of elements to acquire ''flux'', which they can turn into gifts. However, nature demands balance, and as shamans gather flux, they also accrue ''stress'', inhibiting their ability to draw more flux over time.

-'''Gifts (Ge):''' Each specific application of elemental power in from a given element set is called a Gift. A shaman who has attained complete understanding of a given element automatically learns a basic Gift tied to that terrain, but she can spend additional time to gain a further understanding of how the element and the force of Nature interact, giving her access to additional Gifts tied to that element.
+As a move action, the shaman can ''tap'' one of her elemental suites. When she does so, she rolls her ''flux die'', and acquires that much ''flux'', while also accruing the same amount of ''stress''. If you have more ''stress'' than your ''stress limit'' against an element, you cannot ''tap'' it (but see below); likewise, you cannot have more ''flux'' for an element than your ''stress limit''. Even if you have multiple actions, you can only ''tap'' a given element once on each of your turns.
-A Gift used within its home element can be used freely. However, using a Gift of an element other than the one a druid finds herself in causes Stress.
+When you ''tap'' an element, if the amount of ''stress'' you acquire would put you over your ''stress limit'' for that element, you instead only gain enough ''flux'' and ''stress'' to put you at your ''stress limit''.
-'''Stress (Ge):''' Stress represents Nature's insistence on the natural order of things - snow should remain where snow is, and not elsewhere, and so on.

-A shaman who uses Gifts accrues Stress towards that element. Each Gift indicates in its description how much Stress it causes when used.
+If you ''tap'' an element and have access to the suite of it's opposed element, you reduce your ''stress'' for the opposed element by the amount of ''flux'' you gain for the element you are ''tapping''.
-If a shaman accrues more Stress towards a given element than her Max Stress, she is immediately cut off from that element's Gifts, and any effects caused by Gifts of that terrain that are in effect immediately cease.
+You can never have more ''flux'' than your current ''stress'' for a given element. If you do, your ''flux'' is immediately reduced to equal your ''stress''.
-A shaman relieves 1 point of Stress towards all elements when she gets a night's rest. In addition, while in a given terrain, her Stress towards the element associated with that terrain is reduced by her Wisdom modifier every hour.
+If you are in an environment associated with an element you ''tap'', you gain double the amount of ''flux''. If you are in an environment associated with the element's opposed element, you instead halve the amount of ''flux'' you gain.
-Once per day, as a full-round action, a shaman can make a Concentration check against DC 25 to attempt to relieve additional Stress. If she is successful, she reduces her Stress towards the element associated with the current terrain by the amount by which she overcame the DC.
+''Flux'' is a powerful but relatively short-lived energy, and dissipates naturally over time. You lose all ''flux'' of an element after 5 minutes.
-'''Attune Totem:''' A shaman is well-versed in the elemental cycle, and while she respects it, she also understands that there are times when it must be broken.
+You can meditate to alleviate the stress you have accrued against the elements. Doing so requires 1 round of concentration, at the end of which you reduce your ''stress'' against all elements by half your level bonus, rounded down (min 1). You can automatically remove all accrued ''stress'' with a ''short rest''.
-A shaman can spend 24 hours attuning herself to an item, which must be spent in a terrain associated the element she wants the totem to be attuned to. After the meditation, the totem is attuned. A shaman can only have one totem attuned at a time.
+To use a gift, called ''bending'', you must spend an amount of ''flux'' - dependent upon the gift's grade - of the element associated with that gift. If you have access to a suite and are in a terrain associated with that element, you can use that suite's ''basic gift'' at will, which costs no ''flux''.
-As a standard action, the shaman can plant the totem in the ground. Doing so generates an elemental field around the totem, with a 10-foot radius. The elemental field is treated as terrain associated with the totem's element. A move action removes the totem and eliminates the elemental field.
+The shaman begins with four known gifts. She gains knowledge of additional gifts each level, as per the class table, above. At fourth level and every four levels after, she can trade out up to two gifts for new gifts from any suite she can access, of any grade she can access.
-Using a totem, however, is highly disruptive to the elemental cycle. Each round the totem is in use, the shaman accrues 1 point of Stress towards the element associated with the terrain the totem is planted in. If this causes the shaman to exceed her Max Stress towards that element, she suffers 1d6+1/level damage of the energy type associated with the terrain Stress is being accrued towards for every point of Stress over her Max Stress.
+If you would gain access to a suite, you can choose to instead gain a bonus feat, which must be a feat for which you qualify. If you would gain access to a suite and already have access to six suites, you gain a bonus feat instead.
-If a totem is used in a terrain whose associated element opposes the element of the totem, the shaman instead accrues 2 points of Stress each round, and suffers 2d6+2/level damage for each point of Stress over her Max Stress.
+The shaman gains a bonus to her ''stress limit'' for each of her ''suites'' equal to her Charisma modifier.
-A shaman cannot plant a totem if her current Stress equals or exceeds her Max Stress for the totem's element.
+The shaman's ''key ability'' for her ''natural attacks'' is her Wisdom.
-'''Totem Mastery:''' At 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th levels, the shaman's ability with her totem improves. Choose one of the following abilities.
+<div id="Balance">
+{| class="collapsible" width="98%" style="text-align:left; clear:both; font-size:75%; font-family:verdana;"
+! style="background:#228B22;" align="left"|<div style="margin-left:15px;"><font color="white" style="font-size:13.5px; font-family:tahoma;">Balance</font></div>
+|}
+Above all else, shamans revere the balance inherent in Nature. Though she may only have knowledge of some elements, she gains an intuitive understanding of their opposites.
-* ''Attune Extra Totem:'' You can attune one additional totem. You can take this ability up to three times.
+You are considered to have access to elements that are opposed to elements you have access to for purposes of ''flux''.
-* ''Elemental Denial (Na):'' Whenever a creature attempts to produce an effect with an energy type associated with the element opposed to your totem's element within the elemental field of your totem or with a target or area within the field, that creature must make a caster level check against DC 6 + your shaman level, or else the effect fails. You can take this ability multiple times; each time you do, the base DC increases by 1.
-* ''Elemental Empowerment (Na):'' While within your totem's elemental field, when you use a Gift of your totem's element, you may choose to accrue 1 Stress towards that element to increase your effective geomancer level for that Gift by 1. You can take this ability multiple times; each time you do, you can accrue one additional Stress in exchange for one additional effective level, to a maximum of your Wisdom modifier.
-* ''Elemental Field:'' The radius of the elemental field produced by your totem increases by 10 feet. You can take this ability multiple times.
-* ''Elemental Fury (Na):'' All weapons within the elemental field produced by your totem deal half base weapon damage as energy damage, of the energy type associated with the totem's element.
-* ''Elemental Haven (Na):'' All creatures within the elemental field produced by your totem gain energy resistance equal to your shaman level. This energy resistance is effective against the energy type associated with the element opposed to the element of the totem.
-* ''Induce Weather (Gi):'' While a totem is planted, the shaman can attempt to petition Nature to modify the weather as a full-round action. Roll a d%; if the result is less than or equal to your Wisdom score, in 1d4+1 rounds, the weather becomes a weather pattern associated with the element of the totem. Such a change lasts 1d6 + your Wisdom modifier rounds, and induces Stress towards the totem's element equal to the effect's duration.
-* ''Soothe Stress (Na):'' While within the radius of your totem's elemental field, you can spend a full-round action to reduce your Stress towards that element. If you do, you reduce your Stress towards that element by your Wisdom modifier, but increase your Stress towards the element associated with the terrain the totem is planted in by double that amount.
-'''Shaman Talent:''' At 10th level and every two levels thereafter, the shaman's understanding of the elements of the natural world improves. Choose one of the following abilities.
+You can ''tap'' elements opposed to elements you have access to.
-* ''Acclimate (Na):'' Choose one of the elements you have access to. You gain energy resist 20 against the energy type associated with that element. You can take this talent multiple times; each time you do, choose a new element.
+<div id="Affinity">
-** ''Improved Acclimate (Na):'' Choose an energy type you have energy resist against due to ''acclimate''. You are now immune to that energy type. (''Prerequisite:'' Acclimate)
+{| class="collapsible" width="98%" style="text-align:left; clear:both; font-size:75%; font-family:verdana;"
-*** ''Perfect Acclimate (Na):'' Choose an energy type to which you are immune due to ''improved acclimate''. Whenever you would normally take damage from that energy type, you instead heal 1 point for every 2 points of damage you would have taken. (''Prerequisite:'' Improved Acclimate)
+! style="background:#228B22;" align="left"|<div style="margin-left:15px;"><font color="white" style="font-size:13.5px; font-family:tahoma;">Affinity</font></div>
-* ''Ancestral Spirit (Gi):'' Your understanding of the circular nature of the elements allows you to return creatures to the circle of life that it embodies. You must utilize a Gift of each element in order (starting with any element, going in either direction), targeting the body of the creature to be revived. If the creature has been dead for less than 10 minutes, you revive them, bringing them to 1d6 hit points. A creature revived in this manner must rest for 24 hours, and is incapable of any strenuous activity until such time has passed. (''Prerequisites:'' At least 3 Gifts known from each element)
+|}
-* ''Calm of the Sea (Na):'' Whenever you use a Water gift, also roll a d%. If the result is less than or equal to your Wisdom score, you gain improved uncanny dodge and do not provoke attacks of opportunity. These benefits last for a number of rounds equal to the Stress induced by the gift used. (''Prerequisites:'' At least 8 Water Gifts known)
+As the shaman grows in power, she becomes more strongly attuned to the flows of energy in the world, and they respond in kind, empowering the shaman continuously in various ways.
-* ''Flawless Perfection (Na):'' Whenever you use an Ice gift, also roll a d%. If the result is less than or equal to your Wisdom score, all rolls you make until the end of your next turn are maximized, but you cannot benefit from critical successes. (''Prerequisites:'' At least 8 Ice Gifts known)
-* ''Infinite Cosmic Power (Na):'' Whenever you use a Cosmos gift, also roll a d%. If the result is less than or equal to your Wisdom score, you take another turn after this one. This effect cannot occur more than once a round. (''Prerequisites:'' At least 8 Cosmic Gifts known)
-* ''Itty-Bitty Living Space (Na):'' Whenever you use a Gravity gift, also roll a d%. If the result is less than or equal to your Wisdom score, one of the targets - your choice, if you affected multiple targets - of your gift is also effected as though by the ''[[Jikuu_A-I#Eject|eject]]'' jikuu, which lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier. You may opt to not use this effect. (''Prerequisites:'' At least 8 Gravity Gifts known)
-* ''Light of Creation (Na):'' Whenever you use a Holy gift, also roll a d%. If the result is less than or equal to your Wisdom score, you gain Fast Healing and a bonus to saving throws against death effects, both equal to your Wisdom modifier. Both effects last for a number of rounds equal to the Stress induced by the Gift used. (''Prerequisites:'' At least 8 Holy Gifts known)
-* ''Lightning Overload (Na):'' Whenever you use a Lightning gift, also roll a d%. If the result is less than or equal to your Wisdom score, you produce the effect again, but at half-strength. If the effect deals damage, the duplicate effect deals half damage; otherwise, the saving throw DC is halved; otherwise, the duration is halved. If none of these effects apply, then this ability has no effect. (''Prerequisites:'' At least 8 Lightning Gifts known)
-* ''Like A Rock (Na):'' Whenever you use an Earth gift, also roll a d%. If the result is less than or equal to your Wisdom score, you gain a natural armor bonus to AC equal and a bonus to opposed rolls and saving throws against effects that would cause you to move, compulsion, and charm effects; all these bonuses are equal to your Wisdom modifier. These effects last for a number of rounds equal to the Stress induced by the Gift used. (''Prerequisites:'' At least 8 Earth Gifts known)
-* ''Unholy Blight (Na):'' Whenever you use a Shadow gift, also roll a d%. If the result is less than or equal to your Wisdom score, you generate an aura of shadow, dealing shadow damage to all creatures within 10 feet equal to your Wisdom modifier at the beginning of your turn. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to the Stress induced by the Gift used. If this effect occurs again while still active, the effects do not stack; use the longer duration of the two effects. (''Prerequisites:'' At least 8 Shadow Gifts known)
-* ''Totem Mastery:'' A shaman can choose an additional ''totem mastery'' ability in place of a special ability.
-* ''Feat:'' A shaman can gain a bonus feat in place of a special ability.

-=Development Notes=
+=Design Notes=
-We are moving from an ''Avatar''-esque casting system to something more in line with the druid, because we want some amount of consistency in each force.
+Full redesign, t20v4.
-Basically, now, the shaman and the druid are both tied to terrain, but in different ways: the druid uses the actual terrain itself, whereas the shaman uses the energy type behind the terrain. The shaman is a more esoteric version of the druid, in a sense.
