Creating a Shaman

When creating a shaman you should ask yourself why your character has devoted himself to his aspect of shamanism. Is it as simple as it being tradition in the place you grew up? Maybe you are naturally attuned to an elemental force or you have encountered a spirit that set you on the path.

Secondly, you need to ask yourself why you have become an adventurer. Shamans are generally very important figures in their communities. People come to them for guidance and healing. These communities are loath to let these kinds of people leave. Examples for your departure might be the destruction of your village, a pilgrimage to learn your trade or a quest to fulfil a prophecy in your visions.

Lastly keep in mind that like druids they often despite creatures and people who would abuse the balance of nature. Though they are generally less against the creation of communities and urban development and more concerned with the maintenance of burial or ecological sites.
