About KiRenKiRen
Appearance
Background
KiRen was born and raised among the Zip-Kip tribe of halflings in Deep Tolguth, far from what most Golarion consider to be civilization. War among tribes was common, but far more dangerous were the lands and the huge creatures that called it home. The Zip-Kip respected and revered these large creatures and megafauna, and even befriended some to help them in warfare and even the more mundane tasks of everyday life. For some of the smallest creatures in the jungle to work with the largest creatures ever seen was truly a sight to behold. One day, a small group of giants stumbled onto a portal into Deep Tolguth. KiRen was there, among the first of the tribe to find them. The group immediately tried to befriend them, recognizing these giants as a way to shift the power dynamic in the area. Offering gifts of food and wine, KiRen convinced the others that these creatures were good and pushed to have them return to the tribe. The giants may not have been too smart, but they were smart enough to see an opportunity, and they played along… up until the point that they spent the first night among the Zip-Kip tribe. KiRen slept soundly, proud of her work in bringing the tribe a new ally - only to be awoken in the night by horrible screams and the feeling of fire licking her face. She jumped out of her burning hut to find giants gleefully picking up halflings by the handful and shoving them in their mouths! The halfling warriors tried to regroup, but they were just not enough to save any of the tribe. In fear and disgrace, KiRen ran. Once she was able to stop crying, anger and determination set in. In a last ditch effort to save her family and friends, she called among the largest of the dinosaurs that had lived in harmony with the tribe for years, and she led them against the giants. Seeing this new threat, the giants quickly decided to leave, but the damage had been done. Not a single other halfling seemed to have survived, and KiRen chased the giants back to the portal they arrived in. She led the way, riding her trusty companion, a small allosaurus she called Bee Gal. Unfortunately for her, though, the portal closed just as she crossed through. The rest of her pack was left behind. Finding herself now in the Storval Plateau, a land much different that she was used to, and alone facing a group of giants, she spurred her friend to run. The giants, unconcerned by one halfling, didn’t bother to pursue. KiRen wandered the barren land, barely surviving - her survival techniques didn’t easily adapt to the very different terrain, but she learned that many of the basic skills she knew applied here as well. After many moons, a giant eagle circled overhead. KiRen feared it was another predator, but with no place to hide, she and Bee Gal turned to face the threat. Suddenly the creature landed on the ground in front of them and transformed into a humanoid creature - a dwarf named Drumbaki. He held out his hands in peace, and while KiRen was certainly skeptical, she longed for some friendly contact. She tried to do the same, awkwardly holding her hands up and twisting them oddly. The dwarf laughed a full belly laugh, and then did the unthinkable! He approached the allosaurus who sniffed the dwarf, purred slightly, and then laid down for a nap. Despite the suspicious nature of KiRen and the lack of a common language, the two became fast friends. Drumbaki taught KiRen the common tongue as well as many of the teachings of Golarion druids. Mentor and friend, Drumbaki helped KiRen adjust to her new world, and she repaid him with stories of her hidden and far away land. But the anger towards giants only grew as she recounted her tales, and so she implored Drumbaki to help teach her how to find and kill these giants. Not being a friend to giants anyway, Drumbaki was happy to help. He took her into more civilized areas, and eventually to towns and even a city. He taught her how to trade for the things she needed, and even helped her and Bee Gal train by fighting ogres and such. He even eventually helped her learn how to transform into creatures of the wild, although she never could get it to work with anything smaller than the very large creatures she grew up knowing. He even taught her a spell that could shrink and hide Bee Gal as a small, stone statue. KiRen now is back on the hunt for giants. Animal Companion:

Goliath druids hone their spiritual and magical connections to nature’s largest creatures, especially dinosaurs, giants, and megafauna, revering these massive creatures as living relics of a primeval time when all creatures were more in harmony with nature. Despite this respect, a goliath druid doesn’t hesitate to infiltrate giant groups who defile nature and destroy them from within. Goliath druids have the following class features. Class Skills
Bonus Languages A goliath druid with an Intelligence bonus can select Giant as a bonus language. Primal Size A goliath druid adds enlarge person to her list of class spells. She can cast this spell only on herself. She can also channel stored spell energy to cast this spell without preparing it—she can lose a prepared spell of 1st level or higher to cast enlarge person. This ability replaces nature sense. Primal Bond (Ex) If the goliath druid selects an animal companion, she must select a dinosaur or megafauna. If she has a dinosaur or megafauna animal companion, she can target it with enlarge person even though the companion isn’t of the humanoid type. This ability alters nature bond. Primal Empathy (Ex) A goliath druid’s wild empathy functions only with creatures that are Large or larger. This ability alters wild empathy. Face Nature’s Might (Ex) At 4th level, a goliath druid gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against the spell-like and supernatural abilities of giants. This ability replaces resist nature’s lure. Wild Shape (Su) Druids’ ability to wild shape into a creature of the animal type allows a goliath druid to assume only the form of a dinosaur or megafauna. She doesn’t gain the ability to become an elemental or plant. At 6th level, the goliath druid can use wild shape to become a Large humanoid of the giant subtype. This functions as the alter self spell, except the goliath druid gains a +4 size bonus to Strength, a –2 penalty to Dexterity, and a +1 natural armor bonus. If the Large humanoid form she takes has rock throwing, she gains rock throwing (range 40 feet, 1d8 damage). If the form has the aquatic subtype, she gains the aquatic and amphibious subtypes. At 12th level, when taking the form of a giant, the goliath druid’s wild shape functions as giant form I. At 14th level, the goliath druid can also use wild shape to change into a Huge giant. When taking the form of a giant, the goliath druid’s wild shape functions as giant form II. This ability alters wild shape. Primal Summons
