Anathema: As a steward of the natural order, Mal finds affronts to nature anathema. If she performs enough acts that are anathema to nature, she loses her magical abilities that come from the druid class, including her primal spellcasting and the benefits of her order. These abilities can be regained only if she demonstrates her repentance by conducting an atone ritual.
The following acts are anathema to her:
Using metal armor or shields.
Despoiling natural places.
Teaching the Druidic language to non-druids.
Polluting the air or allowing those who cause major air pollution or climate shifts to go unpunished.
Becoming fully domesticated by the temptations of civilization. (Wild Only)
Polluting water or allowing those who pollute water sources to go unpunished. (Wave Only)
Wild Empathy: Mal has a connection to the creatures of the natural world that allows her to communicate with them on a rudimentary level. She can use Diplomacy to Make an Impression on animals and to make very simple Requests of them. In most cases, wild animals will give her time to make her case.
**Class Feats**
Storm Born
Mal is at home out in the elements, reveling in the power of nature unleashed. She does not take circumstance penalties to ranged spell attacks or Perception checks caused by weather, and her targeted spells don’t require a flat check to succeed against a target concealed by weather (such as fog).
Order Explorer
Mal has learned the secrets of the Wild Order and Wave Order.
Wild Shape
Mal is one with the wild, always changing and adapting to meet any challenge. She gains the wild shape order spell.
Shore Step
The shallows and tide pools have always called to Mal and let her pass unhindered. She ignores difficult terrain resulting from shallow water. In addition, if she rolls a success on an acrobatics check to Balance on a slippery or wet surface or on an Athletics check to Swim, she gets a critical success instead.
**Multiclass Feats**
Fighter Dedication
Mal is trained in simple and martial weapons, and became trained in Athletics.
Opportunist
Mal gains the Attack of Opportunity reaction
**Ancestry Feats**
Rock Runner
Mal's innate connection to stone makes her adept at moving across uneven surfaces. She can ignore difficult terrain caused by rubble and uneven ground made of stone and earth. In addition, when she uses the Acrobatics skill to Balance on narrow surfaces or uneven ground made of stone or earth, she isn’t flat-footed, and when she rolls a success at one of these Acrobatics checks, she gets a critical success instead.
Boulder Runner
Mal's dwarven build allows her to push foes around, just like a mighty boulder tumbles through a subterranean cavern. Take a Step into the square of a foe that is her size or smaller, and the foe must move into the empty space directly behind it. The foe must move even if doing so places it in harm's way. The foe can attempt a Fortitude saving throw against her Athletics DC to block her Step. If the foe attempts this saving throw, it takes bludgeoning damage equal to her level plus her Strength modifier unless it critically succeeds.
If the foe can't move into an empty space (if it is surrounded by solid objects or other creatures, for example), your Boulder Roll has no effect.
**Skill Feats**
Terrain Expertise (Underground)
Mal's experience in navigating a underground terrain makes her supremely confident while doing so. She gains a +1 circumstance bonus to Survival checks underground.
Battle Medicine
Mal can patch herself up or an adjacent ally, even in combat. She may attempt a Medicine check with the same DC as Treat Wounds and restore the corresponding amount of Hit Points; this does not remove the wounded condition. The target is then temporarily immune to her Battle Medicine for 1 day.
**General Feats**
Shield Block
Trigger: While Mal has your shield raised, she would take damage from a physical attack.
Mal snaps her shield in place to ward off a blow. Her shield prevents her from taking an amount of damage up to the shield’s Hardness. She and the shield each take any remaining damage, possibly breaking or destroying the shield.
Toughness
You can withstand more punishment than most before succumbing. Increase your maximum Hit Points by your level. The DC of recovery checks is equal to 9 + your dying condition value (page 459).
