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