Soul of the Wild http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/moi_gallery/91039.jpg The Druid, he who worships the life and elements around him. Honoring and harnessing the power of nature in its purest form. The Totemist, he who worship the spirits and prowess of magical beasts. Using their latent soul energy to become powerful beings in their own right. When combined these two paths entwine themselves naturally. The power of the wild beasts and pure soul energy form an amazingly powerful connection with each other. A wondrous sight to behold.

Class Skills The Soul of the Wild has the following class skills: Concentration, Handle Animal, Knowledge (Nature), Knowledge (the Planes), Listen, Ride, Spellcraft, Spot, Survival, and Swim. Skill Points: 4 + Int mod Class Features The following are class features of the Soul of the Wild prestige class. Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The Soul of the Wild gains no Weapon or Armor Proficiencies. Spellcasting and Meldshaping: At 1st level and every level thereafter the Soul of the Wild gains +1 Level to an Existing Meldshaping Class. At 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th levels the Soul of the Wild gains +1 Level to an Existing Divine Spellcasting Class. Beast Empathy (Ex): The Soul of the Wild has a greater attachment to the Beasts of his world as well as the animals. His Wild Empathy ability improves, adding his Class level to his Druid and Totemist levels to determine the effectiveness of his Wild Empathy ability. Furthermore he takes no penalty to his Wild Empathy check when dealing with Magical Beasts. Soulbound Companion (Ex): The Soul of the Wild completes his connection to Magical Beasts as well as he has with animals. This allows him to call upon special companions unlike the normal Animals he can call. For this ability he adds his Druid levels to Class level to determine his new Companion's Bonus HD, Natural Armor Adjustment, Strength/Dexterity Adjustment, Bonus Tricks (if applies), Special abilities, (all described on page 36 of the Player's Handbook), as well as what Soulbound Companion he can call. This ability doesn't replace the Soul of the Wild's old Animal Companion ability, but augments it. He adds a number of Magical Beasts to the list of Animal Companions he can have, as described below. *Dragonspawn: Although rare, there are those of Draconic heritage that both dedicate themselves to this path. Among the more evil of these worshippers, are able to obtain the help of a Spawn of Tiamat. These creature, although of very strong draconic heritage are still considered Magical Beasts and therefore have some attachment to the Soul of the Wild already, sharing Dragonblood only enhances this pact. Nature's Bind: The laws of nature and of his Druidic heritage still apply to the Soul of the Wild. If he breaks any of his Druid Oaths (such as wearing metal armor or carrying a metal shield) he loses all Spellcasting, Supernatural, and Meldshaping abilities for 24 hours. Totemic Shape (Su): Unlike true Druids, the Soul of the Wild focuses on the power of Magical Beasts rather than Animals. He gains an ability exactly like that of the Druid's Wild Shape, however he can only take the form of Magical Beasts. Add Druid Levels to your Soul of the Wild levels to determine the duration of this ability. If he later gains a Wild Shape or had already have such an ability, he may subsitute one use of that ability for an extra use of his Totemic Shape. Totemic Shape is treated as Wild Shape for meeting the requirements or prerequisites of Feats and Prestige Classes (Ex. A 3rd level Soul of the Wild can take the Extra Wild Shape Feat to gain 2 additional uses of her Totemic Shape feat per day. Initially he may use this ability 1/day and take the form of Small and Medium Magical Beasts. At 5th level he can use this ability an additional time per day and can take the shape of Large Magical Beasts. Upon reaching 7th level he may use this ability up to 3/day, and finally at 9th level he can use this ability 4/day and take the shape of Huge Magical Beasts. Azure Beast: As well as being able to channel his Soulmelds throughout his Totemic Shape, he may invoke upon it the power of Incarnum into these beasts. As long as he has certain Soulmelds shaped to certain Chakras. In addition your Totemic Shape increases even more in power as long as you have Soulmelds bound to specific Chakras as listed below.
