Path of the Primal Soul

Deep in the jungle of Arathia they say one will hear the beating of drums, rhythmic and powerful. The locals call it "Aranda Nahatu," 'The Heart of the Island." The men who live with the heart are said to be powerful and primal warriors, with claws of steel and fangs as sharp as any beast. How much of this is superstition remains to be seen, but it is true that there are strange magics at work here.

The Path of the Primal Soul embraces the inherent instinct of man, from the earth we came, and from the earth we shall return. These brutal warriors utilise the magics of the Aranda Nahatu to transform into fearsome beasts.

Level 3 - Skin Deep



When you activate your Rage you transform into an aspect of Aranda Nahatu. You become beastlike, growing long claws, sharp teeth, and taking on many physical features of the creatures of Arathia. During your Rage you gain the following benefits:



Your hands become natural weapons with which you are proficient, dealing 2d4 slashing damage.

You gain a natural armour bonus of +1 to your AC, as thick fur, natural hide and stores of fat manifest in your body.

While in the form of the Aspect you may use no armour, weapons or shields.

Level 6 - Bloodlust



Your jaws become stronger, your teeth sharper. Your Bite is now a Natural Weapon, dealing 1d4 Piercing. After succesfully striking an enemy while Raging you may use a bonus attack to Bite. Additionally your attacks while Raging now count as magical weapons for the purposes of overcoming resistance.

Level 10 - One with the Heart



Your soul belongs to the wild. Beasts in their natural habitat will never attack you unless provoked, and you may communicate in a rudimentary manner with any beast whose attention you can hold. You can understand and be understood by any beast, but communication is limited to simple ideas. While travelling you may travel at a fast pace as you would a slow pace, running on all fours and unhindered by difficult terrain.

Level 14 - Call of the Wild



You attune fully with the powers of Aranda Nahatu, gaining several bonuses.
