RPG Superstar 2015 Top 32

At 1st level, a leshy warden forms an intimate bond with a nature spirit, incarnating the spirit as a leaf leshy. She gains a leaf leshy as a familiar and treats her druid level as her effective wizard level for the purpose of this ability. If the leshy dies, the leshy warden can incarnate the same spirit again by paying the normal cost to replace a familiar. So long as the leshy lives, the leshy warden gains access to the Plant domain as if through a druid's nature bond class feature, but she can't choose the Decay subdomain.
This ability replaces nature bond.
By RAW it seems it would, but I agree that it would break the theme and feel of the Leshy Warden
Now if you were playing an Aasimar, the Celestial Servant feat may be a better non-contention feat

But that one makes them a Magical Beast, which would be so much more problematic for the Leshy Warden.
As I read it, the normal celestial template doesn't actually change target's type.
Though, now I'm re-reading improved familiar, and it seems like I could only pick a "standard" familiar to apply the template to, so it might not work with a leshy.
