Special Abilities:
------------------------------ SPECIAL ABILITIES ------------------------------ Bloody-Minded (trait): You are always ready for bloodshed. You gain a +1 trait bonus on initiative and Intimidate checks. Chimeric Aspect (Su): When a shifter uses her shifter aspect ability to take on a minor form, she can choose two aspects and assume the minor form of each aspect. Defensive Instinct (Ex): 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 flatfooted. She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless. These bonuses do not stack with the monk AC bonus class feature. Extended Aspects (feat): You can invoke your aspect’s minor form for longer stretches of time than most of your allies and rivals. Add your Wisdom bonus (minimum 1) to the number of minutes per day that you can use your animals focus ability to assume the aspects of an animal. (Adds +2 minutes). Eyes of the Wild (trait): Having spent much time immersed in the wilderness, you’re now attuned to its ways. You gain a +2 trait bonus on Perception checks in natural settings. Shifter Aspect (Su): 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 for a number of minutes per day equal to 3 + her shifter level (6 minutes). The duration need not be consecutive, but it must be spent in 1 minute increments. Shifting into a minor form is a swift action, while ending this effect is a free action that can be taken only on a shifter’s turn. She can assume only one minor form at a time (until level 9). Shifting to a new aspect (or aspects, later), ends all minor form currently manifested. The minor forms of aspects are not polymorph effects, and the shifter does not lose the benefit of a minor form while affected by polymorph effects. As the shifter gains levels, she gains more aspects.
Shifter Claws (Su): 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. If she uses one of her claws in conjunction with a weapon held in the other hand, the claw acts as a secondary attack instead. Her claws ignore DR/cold iron, DR/magic, and DR/silver. As the shifter gains levels, the power of her claws increases. Shifter’s Fury (Ex): At level 6, 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. Shifter's Rush When you use a move action to move 10 feet or more or when you charge, you can use wild shape as a free action during that movement. Stonecunning: Dwarves gain a +2 bonus on Perception checks to notice unusual stonework, such as traps and hidden doors located in stone walls or floors. They receive a check to notice such features whenever they pass within 10 feet of them, whether or not they are actively looking. Track (Ex): A shifter adds half her level as a bonus on Survival checks to follow tracks. (+5) Trackless Step (Ex): A shifter leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. She can choose to leave a trail if she so desires. Voice of Beasts While you are using wild shape, you gain the ability to communicate with all animals. This acts as speak with animals, though the effect is supernatural in nature and can’t be dispelled. Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Battleaxe, club, dagger, dart, heavy pick, quarterstaff, scimitar, scythe, sickle, shortspear, sling, spear, warhammer. 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. Proficient with light and medium armor but are prohibited from wearing metal armor. 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. Wild Empathy (Ex): A shifter can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions as a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person (Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook 93). 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. Wild Shape (Su): 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.
Woodland Stride (Ex): 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. Gear/Possessions:

Ferocia Navarro was born and raised in Sandpoint—or so the story goes. Her parents claim loudly and often that she never left, though the fact that they bother to proclaim it at all makes that unlikely. There’s rumours that she ran away as a child. Got lost in the woods, maybe. But, they’re wrong. She had been taken. By the fey. She can’t remember much about those early days. She remembers the smell of the trees, and running barefoot through the woods. She remembers strange songs, and stranger faces. She remembers having fun. Feeling at peace. And then a woman found her—Shalelu Andosana. Shalelu took Ferocia from the forest and brought her back home—or so she said. Ferocia was returned to parents she didn’t remember, to a city too loud and stinky to be healthy, and too crowded to feel safe. Her parents were ecstatic. But she had fought and cried and tried to flee. To run. To escape to the safety of the trees. It didn’t work, of course. She was still young then, and they kept a close watch on her. It time the memories faded, but Ferocia never forgot her time among the fey. She still felt comfortable in the woods and the wild places. But she also resented it. Her time away from Sandpoint had made her strange. She could do things that other dwarves couldn’t. Felt things they didn’t understand. Speak tongues no one she knew spoke. She was an outsider, a fact which neither her parents nor her so-called ‘friends’ ever really got used to. Even among a crowd, she felt alone. She grew into a bitter young woman, and mellowed out little as she matured. Her penchant for getting into brawls gave her a foul reputation, and these days she’s known as a bit of a trouble-maker. Her parents are alive and well. They work for the mercantile league, and scold her every opportunity they get for her ‘wasted life’ and ‘bad attitude.’ They love her—she knows that. But then, it doesn’t matter much when you’re a disappointment. She has plenty of brothers and sisters—proper dwarves, the lot of them. Upstanding, respectable and boring. They couldn’t be more different. What few relationships she’s had have been short and meaningless. Most of the time she can’t be bothered to remember her ex-lovers names. Occasionally her parents hire her for minor odd jobs that she ‘couldn’t possibly screw up.’ Deliveries and hauling product, mostly. When she’s feeling rebellious she messes it up anyway, or takes work hauling cargo on the docks for ships unaffiliated with her family.
Appearance and Personality:
Ferocia Navarro is a sarcastic dwarf with a short temper. She has white/gray hair that’s wavy and shoulder length on one side of her head, and shaved down to her skin on the other side. Lines of vine-like, twisting tattoos cover her jaw, neck, chest and shoulders. An ugly scar runs across the bridge of her nose. She wears multiple wooden earrings, some of which are quite thick, and an elaborate wooden necklace tucked into her shirt, which features a flower motif. Her armour is made of intricately carved wood, and is trimmed with black fur that looks like it comes from a bear. She’s short for a dwarf, but no less sturdy. Ferocia is prone to losing her temper, and is constantly getting in brawls and arguments. She always seems to have a headache, and occasionally complains about the noise or stink of Sandpoint. Every once in a while she disappears for weeks at time, and comes back in a better mood—for a day or two at least.
