Shapegrifter (Druid)
When a humanoid race seeks to disrupt the delicate balance of nature through commerce or war, the shapegrifter uses her abilities to sow the seeds of distrust or to foster the growth of discord. While many shapegrifters infiltrate the ranks of humanoids to incite jealousy, to spy on potential marks, or to take advantage of every race's inherent greed, others follow a more insidious path and become bandits or assassins.
Class Skills: A shapegrifter gains Diplomacy, Bluff, and Knowledge (local).
Liar's Lilt(Ex): At 1st level, a shapegrifter gains a +2 bonus on Bluff and Diplomacy checks. This ability replaces nature sense.
Favored Mark(Ex): At 1st level, a shapegrifter selects a race of humanoids and gains a +2 bonus on Disguise, Knowledge (local), Perception, and Sense Motive checks against creatures of her selected race. At 8th level and 16th level, a shapegrifter may select an additional favored mark. This ability replaces wild empathy.
Spontaneous Casting: A shapegrifter can channel stored spell energy into domain spells that she has not prepared ahead of time. She can "lose" a prepared spell in the order to cast any domain spell of the same level or lower. This ability replaces the ability to spontaneously cast summon nature's ally spells.
Nature Bond(Ex): A shapegrifter may not select an animal companion. Instead, she must choose from either the Charm domain or the Trickery domain, rather than the domains usually available to druids.
Wild Shape(Su): A shapegrifter gains this ability at 4th level, but she cannot use wild shape to adopt an elemental form. Instead, starting at 4th level, a shapegrifter can adopt a medium or small humanoid form as if using alter self. At 12th level, a shapegrifter can adopt a large humanoid form as if using giant form I. Starting at 16th level, a shapegrifter can adopt a huge humanoid form as if using giant form II. The progression of the animal and plant forms is unaltered.
A Thousand Voices(Su): At 4th level, a shapegrifter gains the ability to speak the racial language of the humanoid form taken during a wild shape as if using tongues. This ability replaces resist nature's lure.
