04-08-05, 01:05 PM My friends and I have started a new game and I'm a shaman. I do'nt know what exactly a spirit guid is. I know my spirit guide and I are considered one being. How did I get the spirit guid and what is it exactly? I was thinking that it was kind of a ghost. It goes inside my body and can be forced out through an excorcism or I can make it leave my body or it can by choice. What happens to it if it goes outside my body? Does it become incorporeal and be translucent like a ghost? What exactly is my spirit guide? I am also having trouble with making medicine out of herbs. I tend to say that is a different craft skill or it is included in heal skill. I DM says that it is under craft alchemy but when I look in the PHB it says that alchemy is used for making spells and things like a sunstaff or a tanglefoot bag. What should I do? PLease help me!

While it enhances youe senses, and eventually allow you to better resist enchantments, or maintain concetration on spells for you, it still cannot affect the outside world. Only you can perceive and interact with it, and both you and the spirit know, feel, and experience the same things.

So, it can't be forced out since it's a part of you. It's not incorporeal, and not transluscent since no one else can see it. As for how you got it, I'd say it's through your connection with nature and the spirit world. As a spirit shaman, you're aware of things others are not.

And regarding the crafting of medecine, there are no rules for medecine of any sort in the game, except maybe for a healer's kit. How to make one isn't explaned anywhere, but I'd say using the Heal skill as a Craft would be a good answer.
