CLASS FEATURES

All of the following are class features of the witch of the wilds.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A Witch of the Wilds is proficient with the following weapons: club, dagger, quarterstaff, scimitar, sling, and whips. They are also proficient with all natural attacks (claw, bite, and so forth) of any form they assume with Protector of the Wilds.

They are proficient with no armor, or any type of shield.

Spells
A witch of the wilds casts a mixture of divine and arcane spells, which are drawn from the witch of the wilds spell list. A witch of the wilds must choose and prepare her spells in advance (see below).

To prepare or cast a spell, the witch must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a witch's spell is 10 + the spell level + the witch's Wisdom modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a witch can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Witch of the Wilds. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Wisdom score. She does not have access to any domain spells or granted powers, as a cleric does.

A witch of the wilds prepares and casts spells the way a cleric does, though she cannot lose a prepared spell to cast a cure spell in its place. A witch of the wilds may prepare and cast any spell on the witch of the wilds spell list, provided that she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation.

Spontaneous Arcane Casting
While they must prepare their divine spells in a fashion similar to that of a cleric, a witch of the wilds arcane spells are instead likened to that of a sorcerers, being granted naturally instead of learned via a spell book. While these spells must still be prepared ahead of time, they require no specific material component to cast.

CLASS ABILITIES

Protector of the Wilds (Su)

Pending

Nature Sense (Ex)

A witch of the wilds gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks.

Wild Empathy (Ex)

A witch of the wilds can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. She rolls 1d20 and adds her witch level and her Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result.

The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.

To use wild empathy, the witch and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.

A witch of the wilds can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but she takes a -4 penalty on the check.

Nature's Grace (Ex)

The witch of the wilds has learned to take the unearthly grace of the wilds into herself, her wisdom her only shield.

When unarmored and unencumbered, the witch of the wilds adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her AC. These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the witch is flat-footed. She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor, when she carries a shield, or when she carries a medium or heavy load.

Woodland Stride (Ex)

Starting at 2nd level, a witch may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion still affect her.

Trackless Step (Ex)

At 3rd level, a witch of the wilds leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. She may choose to leave a trail if so desired.

Nature's Grace (Su)

At 6th level, or higher, a witch of the wilds can heal her own wounds. She can heal a number of hit points of damage equal to twice her current witch level each day, and she can spread this healing out among several uses.

Venom Immunity (Ex)

At 9th level, a witch of the wilds gains immunity to all poisons.

A Thousand Faces (Su)

At 13th level, a witch of the wilds gains the ability to change her appearance at will, as if using the disguise self spell, but only while in her normal form. This affects the witch’s body but not her possessions. It is not an illusory effect, but a minor physical alteration of the witch's appearance, within the limits described for the spell.

Wilds Keeper (Ex)

After attaining 15th level, a witch no longer takes ability score penalties for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any penalties she may have already incurred, however, remain in place. The witch of the wilds may be killed by magical and non-magical means, but if left to her own devices, will not be claimed by old age, persisting to take care of her treasured Wilds.
