Bonded Firearm (Sp): You start play with one personally crafted pistol, blunderbuss, or musket. She has bonded with this ivory gripped weapon engraved with creatures of spiritual significance to the scrimshaner. If this weapon is lost the scrimshander can replace it by personally crafting a replacement firearm and conducting a 1d4hr. bonding ritual. The scrimshander can channel touch and ranged touch spells through her bonded firearm. The spell is lost if the bullet misses or the gun misfires. Use the gun’s critical for the channeled spell when applicable. Bonded Firearm replaces the druid’s first level Nature Bond.
Sage Gunsmith (Ex): At first level, you gain the Gunsmith feat. Sage Gunsmith replaces Wild Empathy.
Scrimshaw Bullets (Su): The scrimshane has an unusual form of druidic spontaneous casting. Instead of summoning a specific monster, the scrimshander conjures a carved bullet effigy of the creature.

The scrimshaw bullet lasts for 1/round per caster level until shot. Only a scrimshaner can fire a scrimshaw bullet.
