[QUOTE="Michael Tree, post: 1224296, member: 1455"] Shamans are spontaneous divine spellcasters who use Charisma to cast spells. They have the spells/day of a druid, and a spells known list that gives them less than a sorcerer. However, they also get two domains at 1st level (spirit, and one of their choice) and an additional domain every 5th level, so they end up knowing more spells than a sorcerer. Shamans also gain a spirit familiar at 4th level (basically a standard familiar with the ability to become incorporeal, and eventually possess others at 15th level). Shamans also have the ability to Rebuke Spirits, which include all outsiders, elementals, incorporeal undead, and anything else with the incorporeal subtype. In the Shaman's Handbook there's a PrC called "skin changer" which gives the ability to wild shape like a druid. The witch is a spontaneous arcane caster which uses Wisdom to cast spells. They're much like sorcerers, except with more skill points, more social and nature class skills, bonus feats every 5 levels, and, eventually, the Thousand Faces and Timeless body abilities. Their spells are less offensive than a sorcerer's, focusing more on charm and transformation spells, with a smattering of low level healing spells. The avatar is a good-aligned divine spellcaster, with d6 hit dice and sorcerer BAB, who have great summoning abilities. They cast like sorcerers, but with a larger spells known list, and automatically know the "summon monster" spell of every spell level. They also gain some abilities from a menu (like the loremaster's secrets) and the ability to transform themselves into celestials. [/QUOTE]
