Druid Lion shamen question


Rules Questions


It says in the description of the players option that @ 2nd level they can polymorph into an aspect of the totem animal this case lion. Can this aspect be liken to the were wolfs hybred form where they walk up right and have lion and human features. It really does explain it very well.

any idea?

Since you only get one totem ability at a time, I think you would only display one characteristic at a time.

  • Movement (+20 enhancement bonus to land speed)
    Either no change or lengthened, strengthened legs.

  • Senses (low-light vision, scent)
    Slitted pupils and a cat-like nose.

  • Natural weapons (bite [1d4], 2 claws [1d4] for a Medium druid, rake, +2 CMB to grapple)
    Claws & teeth.

The full rules (Lion Shaman text with the stuff that was only written once in the Bear Shaman entry combined).

Totem Transformation (Su): At 2nd level, a lion shaman may adopt an aspect of the lion while retaining her normal form. She gains one of the following bonuses: movement (+20 enhancement bonus to land speed), senses (low-light vision, scent), or natural weapons (bite [1d4], 2 claws [1d4] for a Medium druid, rake, +2 CMB to grapple). While using totem transformation, the lion shaman may speak normally and can cast speak with animals (felines only) at will. Using this ability is a standard action at 2nd level, a move action at 7th level, and a swift action at 12th level. The bear shaman can use this ability for a number of minutes per day equal to her druid level. These minutes do not need to be consecutive, but they must be used in 1-minute increments. This is a polymorph effect and cannot be used while the druid is using another polymorph effect, such as wild shape.

It's a bit rich to criticise someone else's writing in a post so poorly written that I had to rewrite it when I quoted it so that it made sense.
Could you not have had the manners to say: "I didn't fully understand." Rather than placing the responsibility on the writer. I actually think it is a perfectly lucid piece of prose.
