When I cast Embrace the Wild what do I "gain" from an animal? For example if I choose a wolverine (shown below) what do I get? Also where can I find more options/animals that are not in the MM? Any suggestions on what animals to choose and what I'd gain from it?
Embrace the Wild
(Savage Species)
Transmutation
Level: Druid 3, Ranger 3, Consecrated Harrier 3,
Components: V, AF,
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 10 minutes/level
This spell allows you to adopt the nature and some abilities of a wild animal.
You retain your own form, but you gain the natural and extraordinary senses of the creature you choose, as well as its skill ranks (though these do not stack with any ranks
you already have in the same skills), for the duration of the spell.
Thus, depending on your choice of animal, you could gain blindsight, scent, and ranks in Listen, Spot, or other skills.
Embrace the wild does not grant you the animal's natural attacks, methods of locomotion, feats, or nonsensory extraordinary abilities, such as trample or improved grab.
Focus: Hide, skin, or feathers of the selected animal, or an item or component of its lair.
You must have obtained the focus from the animal yourself.
Example animal:
Wolverine
These creatures are similar to badgers but are bigger, stronger, and even more ferocious.
Combat
Rage (Ex): A wolverine that takes damage in combat flies into a berserk rage on its next turn, clawing and biting madly until either it or its opponent is dead. It gains +4 to Strength, +4 to Constitution, and -2 to Armor Class. The creature cannot end its rage voluntarily.
Skills: Wolverines have a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened.
Size/Type: Medium Animal
Hit Dice: 3d8+15 (28 hp)
Initiative: +2
Speed: 30 ft. (6 squares), burrow 10 ft., climb 10 ft.
