Spellcasting
At every level except the first you gain +1 level of spellcasting for two different divine spellcasting classes.
Animal Companion
Levels of Apostle of Nature stack with their druid level to determine abilities of their Animal Companion.
Turn Undead
Levels of Apostle of Nature stack with Cleric levels for the purposes of turn undead.
Wild Empathy (Ex)
Starting at 2nd level Apostle of Nature levels stack with Druid levels for the purpose of wild empathy checks.
Wild Shape (Su)
At 3rd level, an apostle of nature gains the ability to turn themselves into any Small or Medium animal and back again once per day. thetr options for new forms include all creatures with the animal type. This ability functions like the alternate form special ability, except as noted here. The effect lasts for 1 hour per apostle of nature level, or until they changes back. Changing form (to animal or back) is a standard action and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. Each time you use wild shape, you regain lost hit points as if you had rested for a night.
Entangle
Starting at 4th level apostles get Entangle as a spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to half their Apostle of Nature level (Round down). Once they would have it 5 times per day, the ability becomes at will instead.
Whispers of the Forest (Su)
When an apostle of nature reach 6th level, the plants, trees, and rocks begin to speak to you, bringing you news wherever you are. Once per day, these voices of the forest give you a short answer to any simple question you pose pertaining to current events in any wilderness area on your land mass. Questions about distant lands require 1 minute per mile of distance to answer. At the DM’s discretion, when the forest deems an issue particularly important, the whispers bring you news without your request.
Speak with Animals
Starting at 8th level, apostles get Speak with Animals as a spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to half their Apostle of Nature level (Round down). Once they would have it 5 times per day, the ability becomes at will instead.
Nature's Call(Su)
A 10th level Apostle of Nature can call for aid from natures greatest allies. Thrice per day an Apostle of Nature can call upon a fey with an ECL equal to the apostle's total ECL-2. The fey stays to help for one minute per apostle level. This is a Conjuration (Summoning) effect.
