Druid
Druids are divine spellcasters who receive their spells from nature, not the gods. They strive to live in harmony with the natural world, and hate anything that is not part of the natural cycle, especially aberrations and undead creatures. As they gain experience, they learn to take the shapes of animals and eventually of more powerful creatures.

How it works
- A Druid's Summon Creature spells call the next creature up the line: Summon Creature I gives a dire boar instead of a dire badger, Summon Creature II a dire wolf instead of a dire boar, and so on. This applies when you cast from a Druid spell slot, or when Druid is the class you have the most levels in.
- Each Druid level raises the DC of a Shifter's shape abilities as a Shifter level does.
- Each Druid level adds 1 turn (1 minute) to the duration of Animal Empathy.
Requirements
Alignment: lawful neutral, neutral good, true neutral, neutral evil or chaotic neutral.
