Shaman

The Shaman is a caster that harnesses the raw power of the inner planes to their will. Empowered by their worship and reverence of the elements, they are bestowed great power at their ready call. Though considerably more limited in their options than their druidic and clerical brethren, they nonetheless prove powerful allies or dangerous foes from the strength and quantity of their powerful spells.

Bonus spell slots come from items and high charisma. *Currently there are only 8 cantrips available to Shamans, meaning the extra cantrip spell slots are unused.

As a rule of thumb, shamans can cast spell levels up to half their class level.

Domains

The Shaman chooses two domains, like a Cleric does. They do not get any bonus spells from them, nor do they get the benefits of a changed Turn Undead as they cannot Turn Undead; however, they can get an Animal Companion or other domain special abilities.

Planar Survival

The Shaman has adapted and is not subject to the natural hazards of the plane they're on, such as the fires of the elemental plane of fire, the diseases and apathy of Hades, the acidic rain of Gehenna, the carelessness of Elysium, etc. They are still subject to any other fire damage, diseases, acid damage, and so on.

Elemental Incarnate

The shaman has learned to harness the raw elemental might of nature in its most deadly form. They may hurl damaging bolts of random elemental energy to strike enemies in an area for 1d4 damage per missile per level. Each missile has a 20% + Dexterity Modifier chance of doing 150% damage. For each bolt that strikes a target, it increases the vulnerability of that element to that target by 2%, up to a maximum of 30% vulnerability. This effect lasts 60 seconds.

At Shaman level 20, the bolts have a chance to deal Cosmic damage. This ability does increased damage against bosses and reduced damage against players.

Animal Companion (REQUIRES ANIMAL DOMAIN)

A Shaman with the Animal domain may select from a number of animal companions. The base stats for the companions are listed below. The vanila NWN animal companions, such as panthers, bears, etc. do not function, you have to choose a planar one. Each level companions gain 1 HD of their creature type and their base stats increase by 5% per shaman level. The Improved Companion feat may be taken to increase their scaling by an additional 10%, and Empowered Companion feat for +4 to physical stats after scaling.
