Class Features
All of the following are class features of the wildling.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The wildling gains the Basic Weapon Group Proficiency and may choose either the Primitive Weapon Group or the Spear Group. They are also proficient with all natural attacks (claw, bite, and so forth) of any form they assume with Shifting Form (see below).
The wildling is proficient with light and medium armor but is prohibited from wearing metal armor; thus, they may wear only padded, leather, or hide armor.
The wildling may also wear wooden armor that has been altered by the ironwood spell so that it functions as though it were steel. See the ironwood spell description. Wildlings are proficient with shields (except tower shields) but must use only wooden ones.
A wildling that wears prohibited armor or carries a prohibited shield is unable to cast her wildling spells or use any of her supernatural or spell-like abilities while doing so and for 24 hours thereafter.
Spells: The wildling casts divine spells, which are drawn from the wildling spell list. Every wildling spell has a verbal component (singing, reciting, or music).
Like other spellcasters the wildling can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on her class progression table above. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Wisdom score. When her class progression table indicates that the wildling gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level, she gains only the bonus spells he would be entitled to based on her Wisdom score for that spell level.
To prepare or cast a spell the wildling must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against the wildling’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the wildling’s Wisdom modifier.
The wildling meditates or prays for her spells. Each wildling must choose a time at which she must spend 1 hour each day in quiet contemplation or supplication to regain his daily allotment of spells. Time spent resting has no effect on whether the wildling can prepare spells. The wildling may prepare and cast any spell on the wildling spell list, provided that she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation.
Nature Sense (Ex): The wildling gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (Nature) and Survival checks.
Track: The wildling gains Track as a bonus feat.
Wild Lore: The wildling may make a special Wild Lore check with a bonus equal to her wildling level + her Wisdom modifier to see whether she knows some relevant information about local notable people, legendary items, or noteworthy places. If the wildling has 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (History), she gains a +2 bonus on this check.
A successful Wild Lore check will not reveal the powers of a magic item but may give a hint as to its general function. The wildling may not take 10 or take 20 on this check; this sort of knowledge is essentially random.
[sblock=Wild Lore Check]
Code:
[B][U]DC Type of Knowledge[/U][/B]
10 Common, known by at least a substantial
minority drinking; common legends of the
local population.
20 Uncommon but available, known by only a
few people legends.
25 Obscure, known by few, hard to come by.
30 Extremely obscure, known by very few,
possibly forgotten by most who once
knew it, possibly known only by those
who don’t understand the significance
of the knowledge.
[/sblock]
Wildsong: The wildling can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. The druid rolls 1d20 and adds her wildling level and her Wisdom 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 wildsong, the wildling and the animal must be able to study each other. This means that wildling and animal must be within 30 feet of one another 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 wildling 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.
Favored Environment (Ex): At 2nd level the wildling selects a natural environment from among those given on the Wildling Favored Environments table. Due to the wildling's experience in that environment, she gains a +2 bonus on Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills in that environment. She also gains the same bonus on Knowledge (Nature) checks made in association with that environment (or on Knowledge (Dungeoneering) checks made in association with underground environments, if the wildling has selected underground as a favored environment).
At 11th and 20th level the wildling selects an additional favored environment from those given on the table below and gains an identical bonus on the appropriate skill checks in that environment. In addition, every time the wildling gains a new favored environment, the bonus from any one favored environment (including the one just selected, if so desired) increases by +2. For example, a 11th level wildling has two favored environments. In one she has a +4 bonus on the appropriate skill checks, and in the other he has a +2 bonus. At 20th level, she has three favored environments, and gains an additional +2 bonus, which can be allocated to any of her three favored environments. Thus, her bonuses could either be +4, +4, and +2 or +6, +2 and +2.
If the wildling chooses desert or forest, she must also choose a climate type, as indicated on the table (either "cold" or "temperate" or "warm" for desert, or "cold" or "temperate" or "warm" for forest).
The wildling can't select an environment that she has never visited.

Grow Claws (Ex): The wildling has the ability to grow or lengthen existing claws. These claws do 1D6 points of damage, plus the wildling’s Strength modifier. She may retain the claws for as long as she wants them. To grow/lengthen or retract her claws is a move action. If the wildling was already capable of making a claw attack before gaining this class feature she gains a +3 bonus on her damage roll.
Savage Bite (Ex): The wildling gains the ability to lengthen her canine teeth as a move action. A successful bite attack against an opponent inflicts 1D6 points of damage. To grow/lengthen or retract her canines is a move action. If the wildling was already capable of making a bite attack before gaining this class feature she gains a +3 bonus on her damage roll.
Courageous Ambience (Ex): The wildling gains the ability to bolster her allies (and her own) courage. All her allies within 60 feet of her gains a +1 bonus against fear affects. For every three levels beyond third that the wildling has, she and her allies gain an additional +1 bonus against fear affects.
Evasion (Ex): When the wildling attains 3rd level she is able to avoid magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless wildling does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Eyes of Fury (Ex): When an enemy of the wildling looks into her eyes they must make a Will save (DC 10 + the character’s wildling level). A failed save indicates that the foe becomes shaken. This ability is only usable against the same foe once per day.
Inspiring Presence (Ex): At 7th level the wildling is gains access to this broad category made up of individual abilities gained at certain levels. When this ability is gained the wildling is only able to use the base ability of Inspiring Greatness.
[sblock=Inspiring Abilities]
- Greatness: At 7th level the wildling is able to instill greatness in herself or a single willing ally within 30 feet, granting him or her extra fighting capability. For every three levels a bard attains beyond 7th, she can target one additional ally with a single use of this ability (two at 10th level, three at 13th, etc.). To inspire greatness the wildling must activate this ability and choose the allies to be affected. When activated this ability lasts for 5 rounds plus one additional round per wildling level. A creature inspired with greatness gains 2 bonus Hit Dice (d10s), the commensurate number of temporary hit points (apply the target’s Constitution modifier, if any, to these bonus Hit Dice), a +2 competence bonus on attack rolls, and a +1 competence bonus on Fortitude saves. The bonus Hit Dice count as regular Hit Dice for determining the effect of spells that are Hit Dice dependant. Inspire greatness is a mind-affecting ability.
- Heroics: At 13th level the wildling is able to inspire tremendous heroism in herself or a single willing ally within 60 feet. For every three bard levels the character attains beyond 13th, he can inspire heroics in one additional creature. To inspire heroics the wildling must activate this ability and choose the allies to be affected. When activated this ability lasts for 5 rounds plus one additional round per wildling level. A creature so inspired gains a +4 morale bonus on saving throws and a +4 dodge bonus to AC. Inspiring heroics is a mind-affecting ability.
- Awe: At 19th level the wildling is able to make an attempt to cause enemies within a 120 foot radius to become awed with her. Each creature to be awed must be able to see the wildling, and able to pay attention to her. The distraction of nearby combat or other dangers prevents this ability from working. To use the ability the wildling makes a Diplomacy check. Her check result is the DC for each affected creature’s Will save against the effect. If a creature’s saving throw succeeds, the wildling cannot attempt to awe that creature again for 24 hours. If its’ saving throw fails, the creature is awed. The creature remains fascinated until a number of rounds equal to the wildlings level passes. While awed the targets take a –4 penalty on skill checks made as reactions, such as Listen and Spot checks. Any potential threat (such as being attacked) requires the wildling to make another Diplomacy check and allows the creature a new saving throw against a DC equal to the new Diplomacy check result.
[/sblock]
Heart of the Savage Beast (Ex): Opponents that have line to the wildling must make a Will Save (DC 10 + the characters wildling level). A failed save indicated that they become Startled.
Venom Immunity (Ex): The wildling gains immunity to all poisons.
Gaia’s Grace (Su): The wildling no longer takes ability score penalties for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any penalties she may have already incurred, however, remain in place. Bonuses still accrue, and the wildling still dies of old age when her time is up.
In addition the wildling is able to converse with any living creature.
Improved Evasion (Ex): This ability works like evasion, except that while the wildling still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks henceforth she henceforth takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless wildling does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
Animalistic Apotheosis (Ex): At 20th level the wildling undergoes a feral transformation. She is forevermore treated as an animal rather than as a humanoid (or whatever the wildling’s creature type was) for the purpose of spells and magical effects. Additionally, the wildling gains a +3 luck bonus on her Reflex saves and a +8 bonus to her hit points.
Ex-Wildlings
A wildling that becomes lawful in alignment cannot progress in levels as a wildling, though she retains all her wildling abilities.
