SPECIAL ABILITIES

Totem Transformation (Su) At 2nd level, a saurian shaman may adopt an aspect of the saurian while retaining her normal form. This ability functions as the dragon shaman’s totem transformation ability, but the druid may select from the following bonuses:

Movement (+10 enhancement bonus to land speed)
Scales (+2 natural armor bonus to AC)
Senses (low-light vision, scent)
Natural weapons (bite [1d6], 2 claws [1d4] for a Medium druid, rake, +2 CMB to grapple)
While using totem transformation, a saurian shaman may speak normally and can cast speak with animals (reptiles and dinosaurs only) at will.

Totemic Summons At 5th level, a saurian shaman may cast summon nature’s ally as a standard action when summoning reptiles and dinosaurs, and these summoned creatures gain temporary hit points equal to her druid level. This ability otherwise functions as the dragon shaman’s totemic summons ability.

This ability replaces a thousand faces.

Wild Shape At 6th level, a saurian shaman’s wild shape ability functions at her druid level –2. If she takes on the form of a reptile or a dinosaur, she instead uses her druid level +2.

Tactics Subdomain, Seize the Initiative (Su)Seize the Initiative (Su): Whenever you and your allies roll for initiative, you can grant one ally within 30 feet the ability to roll twice and take either result. This decision is made before results are revealed. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

Dwarves aren't particularly common up in the Realms of the Mammoth Lords, so dwarf saurian shamans are particularly rare, though even ignoring that Davian is an odd duck for a dwarf and a druid. He's relatively clean-shaven, his hair is usually neatly combed, he has no trace of an accent, and he wasn't born underground or in the woods, but in Kenabres. His philosophy on urbanization is pretty against druid orthodoxy as well. "Well, the way I see it if a bear sleeps in a cave or a termite sleeps in a tree or an ape makes tools and those things are natural, why are dwarves and humans and gnomes unnatural for doing the same things, only better?".
This attitude and his growing druid powers and expertise tend to ingratiate him with the leaders of settlements he comes across, from hamlets to city-states.

Davian decided to become a druid after seeing one Lathrael Windleaf turn into an Allosaurus to tackle a glabrezu during an attack from the worldwound, commonplace in Kenabres. The sheer ferocity of a 10,000 lb predator leaping through the air to knock away a powerful demon was impressive enough to convince the young dwarf that becoming a druid was his destiny.

That very day, nature herself seemed to agree. He stood his ground against a dretch despite being a mere child in order to defend his younger brothers and sister after it broke into their nursery. Armed with only a simple hammer from his father's forge, he stood his ground and bellowed in an impression of the dinosaur he had seen before, and in response three monitor lizards erupted from the ground to swarm over the dretch, killing it quickly.

When Lathrael heard the story, he offered to train young Davian in the ways of the saurian shaman, or dinosaur druid, taking the appearance of the lizards as a sign of the boy's potential and that he was favored by the natural forces.

Though he was one of the many crusaders in Kenabres, Lathrael took Davian into the woods to teach him and to train, imparting in him his own unorthodox philosophies on civilization and nature and humanoids. Davian has expanded upon these philosophies, forming his own beliefs on the roles druids are to play in the world.

These philosophies took him away from Kenabres eventually, leading him southward to teach the ever-evolving kingdoms of the world and spread his beliefs about the relationship between nature and civilization. He lived in the Rostland for a time, learning to teach others in a way that is productive and nurturing, and growing to love the culture of these hardy frontier folk. Upon hearing of expansionist efforts into the Stolen Lands, Davian immediately signed up, hoping to be on the very cutting edge of new forays into the wild by the forces of civilization, where he feels his brand of wisdom and his beliefs will be most helpful and necessary.

FEATS
Endurance [Half-Orc Racial Bonus]: You gain a +4 bonus on the following checks and saves: Swim checks made to resist nonlethal damage from exhaustion; Constitution checks made to continue running; Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from a forced march; Constitution checks made to hold your breath; Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from starvation or thirst; Fortitude saves made to avoid nonlethal damage from hot or cold environments; and Fortitude saves made to resist damage from suffocation.
You may sleep in light or medium armor without becoming fatigued.
Improved Unarmed Strike [Level 1]: You are considered to be armed even when unarmed—you do not provoke attacks of opportunity when you attack foes while unarmed. Your unarmed strikes can deal lethal or nonlethal damage, at your choice.
Improved Grapple [Level 3]: You do not provoke an attack of opportunity when performing a grapple combat maneuver. In addition, you receive a +2 bonus on checks made to grapple a foe. You also receive a +2 bonus to your Combat Maneuver Defense whenever an opponent tries to grapple you.
Improved Natural Attack (Claws) [Level 5]: Choose one of the creature’s natural attack forms (not an unarmed strike). The damage for this natural attack increases by one step on the following list, as if the creature’s size had increased by one category. Damage dice increase as follows: 1d2, 1d3, 1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 2d6, 3d6, 4d6, 6d6, 8d6, 12d6.
Greater Grapple [Level 7]: You receive a +2 bonus on checks made to grapple a foe. This bonus stacks with the bonus granted by Improved Grapple. Once you have grappled a creature, maintaining the grapple is a move action. This feat allows you to make two grapple checks each round (to move, harm, or pin your opponent), but you are not required to make two checks. You only need to succeed at one of these checks to maintain the grapple.
Leadership [Campaign Bonus]: This feat enables you to attract a loyal cohort and a number of devoted subordinates who assist you. A cohort is generally an NPC with class levels, while followers are typically lower level NPCs. See Table: Leadership for what level of cohort and how many followers you can recruit. Leadership Score: 7 (7 level - 1 Cha + 1 racial)

TRAITS
Pioneer (Campaign): You begin play with a horse. Also, choose one of the following skills: Climb, Handle Animal, Knowledge (nature), Perception, Ride, Survival, or Swim—you gain a +1 trait bonus on this skill.
Survivor (Regional): You gain a +1 trait bonus to initiative and Sense Motive checks. Sense Motive is always a class skill for you.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Fey Thoughts: Select two of the following skills: Acrobatics, Bluff, Climb, Diplomacy, Disguise, Escape Artist, Fly, Knowledge (nature), Perception, Perform, Sense Motive, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, Swim, or Use Magic Device. The selected skills are always class skills for the character. This trait replaces racial weapon familiarity.
Orc Blood: Half-orcs count as both humans and orcs for any effect related to race.
Shaman’s Apprentcie: Only the most stalwart survive the years of harsh treatment that an apprenticeship to an orc shaman entails. Half-orcs with this trait gain Endurance as a bonus feat. This racial trait replaces the intimidating trait.
War Leader: Some orcs seek out human mates in hopes of birthing intelligent leaders for their interminable war efforts. When nature and luck smile upon this endeavor and a half-orc child shows cunning, that child is raised with many harrowing opportunities to learn how to best lead on the battlefield. Such half-orcs gain a +2 bonus on Diplomacy and Profession (soldier) checks as well as to their Leadership score (for the purpose of the Leadership feat). Armies they control in mass combat gain a +1 bonus to Morale. This racial trait replaces darkvision and orc ferocity.

Proficiencies: A shifter is proficient with the following weapons: club, dagger, dart, quarterstaff, scimitar, scythe, sickle, shortspear, sling, and spear. She is also proficient with the natural attacks (claw, bite, and so forth) from the shifter claws class feature and of forms she assumes with wild shape.
Shifters are proficient with light and medium armor but are prohibited from wearing metal armor. A shifter can wear wooden armor that has been altered by the ironwood spell so that it functions as if it were steel. Shifters are proficient with shields (except tower shields) but must use only those crafted from wood.
A shifter who wears prohibited armor or uses a prohibited shield is unable to use her shifter aspect, shifter claws, wild shape, and other shifter supernatural or spell-like abilities while doing so and for 24 hours thereafter.
Bonus Languages: A shifter’s bonus language options include Sylvan, the language of woodland creatures, and Aklo, the tongue spoken by certain sinister fey or otherworldly denizens of reaches of the wild rarely explored by humanity. These choices are in addition to the bonus languages available to the character because of her race.
A shifter speaks Druidic, a secret language known only to druids and shifters, which she learns upon becoming a 1st-level shifter. Druidic is a free language for a shifter; that is, she knows it in addition to her regular allotment of languages, and it doesn’t take up a language slot. Shifters are forbidden to teach this language to non-druids or non-shifters.
For the purposes of teaching and learning the Druidic language, shifters are considered to be druids—the nuances of the language are instrumental in teaching characters of both classes to use and control their abilities. While the rare druidic circle might bar shifters from its order, and while some eccentric shifters may view druids as competitors or even enemies, all shifters are assumed to speak it.
Shifter Aspect: At 1st level, a shifter gains her first aspect—a category of animal to which her body and soul have become supernaturally attuned. She can shift into her aspect’s minor form (see Aspects) for a number of minutes per day equal to 3 + her shifter level. The duration need not be consecutive but must be spent in 1-minute increments. Shifting into a minor form is a swift action, while ending the effect is a free action that can be taken only on the shifter’s turn. Until a shifter reaches 9th level and gains the chimeric aspect class feature, she can assume only one minor form at a time. Shifting to a new aspect (or aspects, in the case of chimeric aspects or greater chimeric aspects) ends all minor forms currently manifested. The minor forms of aspects are not polymorph effects, and the shifter does not lose the benefits of a minor form while affected by polymorph effects.
As the shifter gains levels, she gains more aspects; she gains her second aspect at 5th level, a third aspect at 10th level, and a fourth at 15th level. [Tiger, Falcon]

Shifter Claws: At will, a shifter in her natural form can extend her claws as a swift action to use as a weapon. This magical transformation is fueled as much by the shifter’s faith in the natural world as it is by inborn talent. The claws on each hand can be used as a primary natural attack, dealing 1d4 points of piercing and slashing damage (1d3 if she is Small). If she uses one of her claw attacks in concert with a weapon held in the other hand, the claw acts as a secondary natural attack instead.
As the shifter gains levels, the power of her claws increases.
At 3rd level, her claws count as magic weapons, ignore DR/cold iron and DR/silver (and see Update at left). At 7th level, her claw damage increases to 1d6 (1d4 if Small). At 11th level, her claw damage increases to 1d8 (1d6 if Small). At 13th level, her claw damage increases to 1d10 (1d8 if Small). At 17th level, the damage die does not increase, but the critical multiplier becomes ×3. Lastly, at 19th level, the claws ignore DR/adamantine and DR/—.
While a shifter uses wild shape to assume her aspect‘s major form, her natural attacks gain the same benefits granted by her shifter claws ability. If the form she takes has claw attacks, she can use either the base damage of her shifter claws or the damage of the form’s claws, whichever is greater. If the form does not have claw attacks, she can choose up to two natural attacks that would deal less damage than her shifter claw damage and have those attacks instead deal the same damage as her shifter claws.
Wild Empathy: A shifter can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions as a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. The shifter rolls 1d20 and adds her shifter level and 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 shifter and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another and 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.
The shifter 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.
Defensive Instinct: At 2nd level, when unarmored, not using a shield, unencumbered, and conscious, the shifter adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her AC and CMD. If she is wearing nonmetal armor or using a nonmetal shield, she instead adds half her Wisdom bonus to her AC (minimum 0). In addition, the shifter gains a +1 bonus to her AC and CMD at 4th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every 4 shifter levels thereafter (up to a maximum of +5 at 20th level).
These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks and when the shifter is flat-footed. She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless. These bonuses do not stack with the monk AC bonus class feature.
Track: At 2nd level, a shifter adds half her level as a bonus on Survival checks to follow tracks.
Woodland Stride: At 3rd level, a shifter can move through any sort of undergrowth (such as briars, natural thorns, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Briars, thorns, and overgrown areas that are enchanted or magically manipulated to impede motion still affect the shifter.
Wild Shape: At 4th level, a shifter gains the ability to turn herself into the major form of one of her aspects and back again. This ability functions as beast shape II, except as noted here. The shifter can turn into the major form of only one of her aspects at a time. Using wild shape to change to a major form or back is a standard action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. Often a particular aspect’s major form grants abilities beyond the normal effect of beast shape II. Each major form details the abilities the shifter gains with that major form and at what level; she gains these instead of the form abilities from beast shape II, but she still gains beast shape II abilities that are size dependent.
A shifter loses her ability to speak while in animal form because she is limited to the sounds that a normal, untrained animal of that form can make, but she can communicate with other animals of the same general grouping as her form. She can also communicate in nonverbal ways with allies.
A shifter can use wild shape for a number of hours each day equal to her shifter level + her Wisdom modifier. It need not be consecutive but must be spent in 1 hour increments. For abilities that function based on ‘uses of wild shape,’ each hour of wild shape counts as a use.
Shifters can take feats and other abilities that require wild shape; for the purpose of qualifying for prerequisites, her effective druid level is equal to her shifter level.
Trackless Step: At 5th level, a shifter leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. She can choose to leave a trail if she so desires.
Shifter’s Fury: At 6th level, a shifter gains the ability to make several ferocious attacks with the same natural weapon. Instead of attacking with all her natural weapons, the shifter can choose a single natural weapon and make a full attack with that natural weapon, gaining a second iterative attack at a –5 as if it was a manufactured weapon. When she does so, all her other natural attacks count as secondary attacks and don’t benefit from shifter’s claws.
At 11th level, she gains a third iterative attack at a –10 and at 16th level, she gains a fourth iterative attack at –15.

Background
--------------------
Wezempi was the son of an orc with a cunning beyond most of his brutish kind. Leader of a powerful tribe, the orc chieftain sought out human females to take as concubines, hoping to sire offspring with the physical prowess of an orc and the brains and adaptability of humans. A successful war leader he captured a dozen women over a period of years and sired twice that many children, almost all of whom were unsatisfactory to the powerful, and exacting, orc chieftain.

Wezempi was born with odd, russet colored skin marked with dark stripes and the chieftain, fortunately, took this as a good omen. As soon as he was old enough to walk Wezempi was taken from his mother and given to the care of the tribes shaman to learn the ways of magic. The apprenticeship was long and rigorous, making Wezempi immensely resilient and tough. Although he never showed an aptitude for magic he did demonstrate an affinity for the tribes totem animal, the mighty smilodon of the plains which was enough to secure the shaman’s favor, especially once he began to develop the shapeshifting powers which let his hands turn into mighty claws.

His father, eager to weed out the weak amongst his offspring, regularly forced his children to fight each other, scuffling and beating each other in the dirt for his amusement. One of the youngest, Wezempi was always thoroughly beaten by his eldest brother, a hulking specimen named Isihlangu, who enjoyed beating his younger siblings, stealing their food and generally exerting his dominance. Wezempi didn’t give up however, and carefully built a plan. He spoke to his siblings and, one at a time, convinced them to join him until when their father commanded them to fight, all sixteen siblings turned on Isihlangu together and beat him nearly to death.

Their father was delighted by the brains his son had shown and absolutely forbade Isihlangu to attempt revenge, instead taking Wezempi under his wing and teaching him leadership, and how to command bands of orcs and the beasts of war they fought alongside. As he grew to full maturity Wezempi proved himself to be, not exactly intelligent, but clever and more perceptive than his orc kin. He led a number of raids and even mended the bonds with Isihlangu after his elder brother saved his life and Wezempi gave up his share of the plunder to his elder brother in thanks.

Eventually their father grew overconfident and decided to lead a raid deep into Brevoy, enticed by the rich plunder available. Unfortunately he was too successful and the Regent mustered an army, led by an elite corps of the Aldori Swordlords to halt the orc tribe. Raging and roaring to the last the chieftain was cut down by the swordlords and Wezempi led the survivors, including most of his siblings and many of the war beasts (which he had held back from his father’s charge), away from the battlefield.

For the next year or more Wezempi led his small band of survivors across Issia and Rostland, plundering, raiding and staying one-step ahead of every vengeful force sent to end them. As they went they gathered much plunder, which Wezempi used to purchase supplies and magic to enhance his size and already significant combat skills. Eventually the rulers of Rostland tired of his depredations and sent out, instead of an army, an emissary with a proposition. Teams of adventurers and explorers had already gone southwards into the Stolen Lands to pacify Rostland’s borders. If Wezempi and his tribe would head south the Swordlords would guarantee them land and freedom, as well as a voice in the government of the Stolen Lands if they wanted it. In return, the tribe would cease their raiding, return much of their plunder and leave Rostland as quickly as possible.

Many chieftains, having enjoyed success and riches, would have refused the offer. But Wezempi again showed his human side, weighing up the offer and finally accepting it after considerable thought. Thus Wezempi and his Fangs turned their noses south and into the new lands that were now, at least in part, their own.

Five Concepts
1. To Parvasumilien gold isn’t the only thing of worth, but it is the scale against which all else is measured.
2. Despite his success and various business interests, he still has a traveling wagon which he feels comfortable operating out of.
3. He is a little vain, he enjoys the finer things in life and doesn’t mind splurging on high quality goods. He changes his clothing, both styles and outfits, often.
4. Part of him is addicted to danger and excitement. He worked for years trading between nations at war and was a freelance agent of the Aspis Consortium for over a decade.
5. He had enemies in Kyonin and parts of his past that he doesn’t feel comfortable talking about.

Two Goals
Character’s Goal - Control a merchant empire, have his hands in dozens of businesses and enterprises. Make a trade nation that rivals the likes of Absalom or Katapesh.
Player’s Goal - I mean it's essentially the same goal but I would love to get to play around with the personal building downtime rules. I just got involved in a game that uses them, a PC I control owns a coffee shop and its actually amazingly fun. I left a decent chunk of gold unallocated specifically to spend on a business as soon as possible.

Two Secrets
Known - He has a son living back in Kyonin. He regrets their separation and wishes he could see how he is growing up. Part of what drives him is trying to create a nation where his son could come and live and be proud of his father’s accomplishments.
Unknown - Someone in one of Brevoy’s royal houses has hired assassins to attempt to murder him and sever his connections both to the growing nation and to House Lebeda who sponsored him.

Three Important People
Ethumorion - His son living in Kyonin. He was on his way to becoming an accomplished engineer when Parvasumilien was expelled from the country with threats on his life should he return. He hasn’t seen his son since but misses him.
Davik Scrivani - A brilliant young man who is one of the only people Parvasumilien trusts to look over his books. An accomplished accountant and brilliant investigator he helps keep Parvasumilien’s many business interests running smoothly.
Fiona Lewin - A merchant who Parvasumilien has outmaneuvered for years to gain an advantage on. It was between the two of them for who House Lebeda would sponsor on the trek to the Stolen Lands and Parvasumilien won out. She is not without significant resources and influence though and she wants what her rival has managed to gain.

Three Memories/Quirks/Mannerisms
1. He collects stones, rocks and gemstones. Some are worth quite a lot of money but others are seemingly worthless. He finds or buys them to commemorate occasions. The first ruby he ever earned in Qadira and a white stone from the river by his home in Kyonin where his son was born are both important parts of his collection.
2. He can appear messy but seems to thrive on an organized chaos. He always seems to know where things are when he needs them as if his eclectic organization makes sense to him and him alone. Conversely he cant stand "real mess", making liberal use of prestidigitation to keep himself clean and presentable.
3. He is always wearing either gloves or a veil, this is part of his practice as a worshiper of Ng the Lord of the Crossroads, a fey Eldest.

Parvasumilien Imatheu Grivalti, Parva to friends and Master Grivalti to his business associates, was on a long and winding road before it ultimately led him to the River Kingdoms. Born to a prosperous merchant in Magnimar, Parvasumilien spent his first three decades learning his father’s business and excelling at it. But following the path set out in front of him never quite suited Parva, he wanted to carve out his own form of success rather than just have it handed to him. He purchased a small cart, loaded it up and began traveling. He worked as a traveling merchant for fifty years, most of it spent trekking back and forth between Taldor and Qadira. By no means a safe route, it did guarantee that he was never bored. And despite the constant bad blood between the nations there were always individuals on both sides who were only too happy to pay a little extra for good that the wars made relatively inaccessible.

Initially he loved exploring both lands. He spent a considerable amount of time operating in Oppara. He actually attended the Rhapsodic College for several years, though personal entanglements would cause him to abandon his time there before graduating. Over time though he grew frustrated with Qadira’s overbearing restrictions and Taldor’s descent into stagnation and lethargy. He made various connections with some of the most powerful merchants he could meet and found that he appreciated some of the more dangerous sides of his business. For a time he worked as a freelancer for the Aspis Consortium and although he would never join officially he still has connections to the organization to this day. Personally he appreciates their willingness to do whatever it takes to accomplish their goals, it shows a drive and obsession that speaks to Parva. It was the Consortium who arranged his access to Kyonin via Greengold, where he worked for several years out of Omesta, the only gnome settlement in Kyonin.

He prefers not to talk of the event that got him expelled from Kyonin with a warning of what would happen should he return. He took a job on a barge plying trade along the Sellen River, which is how he eventually found his way up into the River Kingdoms. He worked the river trade for several years before getting the attention of the nobles of House Lebeda. They recruited him to act as one of their merchants and soon Parva had made something of a name for himself. He found the lengths Rostlanders went to in order to keep up with strange and intricate customs to be entertaining. Anything new was always fun to experience so he was incredibly happy to be exposed to such an interesting and proud culture. When the call to settle the Stolen Lands went out Parva decided that he would go. He was encouraged by House Lebeda, who wanted some kind of representation amongst the potential colonists heading out to reclaim the Stolen Lands. Parvasumilien saw it as a chance to build up something greater than he ever could have dreamed, his own economic empire at the center of a brand new nation. The gnome was delighted to see what awaited him.
