Preface: As with most of my CLasses, this is meant to be used with full on 3.P.
if you are only using 3.5 Sources otherwise, adjust the Skills accordingliy, and you might want to reduce the Skillpts by 2.
Intended Role/Power Level: Tribal Fixed List Caster. Shuld be around the Power Level (if very different) of the Dread Necromancer. Should NOT truly enter T2 if avoidable!
Please PEACH honestly and constructivly!
Thanks you!
The Scarred Shaman:
Within many Tribal Societies, Druids lead them spirtuality-wise. Even more are led by Clerics of various Gods and Goddesses of nature, the Wilds, or Conflict.
But the true, old path of Magic, the one that originates all the way back in the Stone Age (for Humans and orcs at least) is that of the Scarred Shaman.
A powerful, not really benevolent figure the tribe needs to appease to gain its protection (and at times leadership, though almost always only temporarily).
Scarred Shamans are primal Casters, channeling the raw magic dircetly through their Body, and dawing Power from the Scars caused both by this and Battle.
Role: Combat oriented (but not exclusive) Caster with good physical Abilities. No replacement for more flexible Casters.
Relations with other classes: Scarred Shamans show little but contempt for "civilized" Magic. They value Druids as their own counterpart highly, but often argue with them.
Sorcerer, being gifted with magic, they value a bit.
Any and allW arriors joining their Causes are welcome, not only barbarians (though they are seen as superior).
Knopwledge:
DC 10: There are Casters called Scarred Shamans that are similar to Druids, but less pwoerful
DC 15: Almost all their Spells only aid the Scarred Shaman themselves
DC 20: Scars give them Power in various Ways, up to maiing them near immortal
DC 25: The Scarred Shamans were the first mortal Casters. They only need tough bodies, and their Spells "inspired" Druids, Clerics and Wizards of later Ages.
Mechanics:
Hitdie: D8
Armor Proficiencies: Light and Medium, cannot wear Metal Armor
Weapon proficiency: All Simple Weapons, all Axes and/or Bows.
Skillpts: 4+Int mod
Class Skills: equal to Druid+Intimidate and Sense Motive, - heal and Ride.
