[QUOTE="Silveras, post: 1386554, member: 6271"] I can't speak about the Mongoose one, but I have used the Green Ronin. The GR Shaman is very much an animist feel. It lends itself most easily to the Native American style/flavor. I plan to adapt it, however, for norse-flavor use by allowing the selection of standard gods as the "totem spirits" as the class progresses. GR's shaman is also a spontaneous spellcaster, by the way, so if you are considering using the Spontaneous Divine Casters from Unearthed Arcana, you may wind up losing a lot of this class' distinction. To the original point, I like the GR Shaman. It fits well, and the book has a good guide to Shamanic traditions in different cultures (and how to guide the Shaman class to accomplish them), as well as "how to have Shamans without adding another class if you don't want to" (using Druids and/or Clerics). The OA Shaman does seem more of a cleric-like flavor than the GR Shaman. I tend to favor the GR Shaman for more primitive cultures and the OA Shaman for the more advanced ones. [/QUOTE]
