[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5403681, member: 50895"] Of course I'm looking at doing this for Pathfinder, with no 6th level cap, but I'm looking at three different ways to go with this as far as an animist divine caster class: 1. Create a new class, basically named the Kannushi (shinto priest), but something more akin to a shaman, than the PF Cleric which doesn't fit. 2. Create an archetype of the druid class, severely nerf the Wildshape capability and remove the animal companion, but add community aiding spells, and spirit divination. 3. Create an oracle archetype, invent a new curse - locationary shrine, being limited on distance from your primary shrine or spirit's holy site. At higher level you can share closely aligned other spirits to cast magic. Then perhaps at even higher level partially absorb the Kami, so you can 'take it with you'. I was heavily leaning toward druid archetype, but now Oracle looks so much better. My problem is that another divine caster was determined to be an Oracle, should I have two different types, or one Oracle and something else. I've started a Shinto-esque thread in the Pathfinder boards for my settings specific needs. [/QUOTE]
