Animal Bond: At 1st level, Clevadoran developed a bond with wolves. Because of this bond, all wolves and animals closely related to wolves automatically have a friendly attitude toward him. Clevadoran can also have one or more wolf companions. This aspect is a spell-like ability that functions like the druid's animal friendship spell, except that Clevadoran can acquire only 12 HD worth of animals. Clevadoran can train these animal companions just as a druid does.

Animal Companion: Clevadoran can have one or more animal companions. This animal is one that he has befriended with the spell animal friendship. The total Hit Dice of all animal companions at a time cannot exceed 5.

Animal Farspeech (Sp): Clevadoran can use his animal speech ability to converse telepathically with any wolf that he can sense.

Animal Perception (Sp): Clevadoran can share the sensory input of any wolf that is within range of his animal sense.

Animal Sense (Su): Clevadoran can sense any wolves within a 36-mile radius. This ability does not allow Clevadoran to communicate with the animals he senses.

Animal Speech (Ex): Clevadoran can converse at will with any wolves as though a speak with animals spell were in effect. The wolves' responses, of course, are limited by their intelligence and perceptions.

Elf Traits: Clevadoran is immune to magic sleep spells and effects. He has a +2 racial bonus on saves against enchantment spells or effects. He also has low-light vision (can see twice as far as a human in low-light conditions) and is entitled to a Search check when within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door as though actively looking for it. Clevadoran has Martial Weapon Proficiency (composite longbow, composite shortbow, longbow, longsword, and rapier) as bonus feats. He also has a +2 racial bonus on Listen, Spot, and Search checks (already figured into the statistics given above).

Favored Enemy: Clevadoran has selected humans as a favored enemy. He gains a +1 bonus on his Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Wilderness Lore checks when using these skills against this type of creature. He gets the same bonus on weapon damage rolls against creatures of this type. He also gets the damage bonus with ranged weapons if the target is within 30 feet. The bonus doesn't apply to damage against creatures that are immune to critical hits.

First Totem: Clevadoran gains Scent as a bonus feat (included above).

Lesser Wild Shape (Sp): Clevadoran can use wild shape to take the form of any natural wolf. This ability otherwise functions like a druid's wild shape, except that Clevadoran can use it as often as desired.

Nature Sense: Clevadoran can identify plants and animals (their species and special traits) with perfect accuracy. He can determine whether water is safe to drink or dangerous.

Resist Nature's Lure: Clevadoran gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against the spell-like abilities of fey (such as dryads, nymphs, and sprites).

Second Totem: Clevadoran gains a +4 circumstance bonus on Wilderness Lore checks made for tracking. This bonus stacks with any modifier provided by Scent.

Share Lesser Form (Sp): Clevadoran can share wolf form with 6 willing individuals. This effect is identical to that of the polymorph other spell, except that its duration is 6 hours.

Summon Animal (Sp): Twice per day, Clevadoran can summon 1d3 wolves. This ability functions like the appropriate summon nature's ally spell, except that the duration is 1 round per animal lord level (6 rounds).

Trackless Step: Clevadoran leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked.

Wild Shape (Sp): Clevadoran can change into a Small or Medium-size animal and back again once per day as per the polymorph self spell. Unlike the standard use of the spell, however, he can adopt only one form per use of this ability. Clevadoran regains hit points as if he has rested for a day. He does not risk the standard penalty for being disoriented while in his wild shape. He gains all the creature's natural and extraordinary abilities when he does so.

Woodland Stride: Clevadoran can move through natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain at his normal speed and without suffering damage or other impairment. However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that are enchanted or magically manipulated to impede motion still affect him.

Druid Spells Prepared (5/4/3/2; save DC 13 + spell level): 0 -- animal trick*, detect magic, light, mending, purify food and drink; 1st -- camouflage*, entangle, magic fang, sandblast*; 2nd -- briar web*, charm person or animal, speed of the wind*; 3rd -- spike growth, trackless domain**.

Wolflord Spells Prepared (2/2/2; save DC 13 + spell level): 1st -- animal trick*, camouflage*; 2nd -- adrenaline surge*, animal reduction*; 3rd -- cure serious wounds, embrace the wild*.

Possessions: Small wolf's head amulet (divine focus), wilding clasp (from Masters of the Wild, a small clasp that prevents what it is attached to from melding into a new form when shapechanging powers are used) attached to divine focus, +2 wild leather armor (from Masters of the Wild, wild armor melds with creatures using wild shape and continues to provide a bonus; it is not visible in the melded form), cloak of elvenkind, boots of elvenkind, cloak of the servant, potion of cat's grace(2), shortspear.

*These feats and spells come from Masters of the Wild. The feats are summarized below, but the spells are not.

**See a later installment for this spell description. You can also substitute another spell for the one listed until then.

Animal Control: He can rebuke or command animals as an evil cleric rebukes undead. To command an animal, he must be able to speak with it via a speak with animals effect, though he can issue commands mentally if desired. He can do this 5 times per day (3 + Cha modifier). His highest (divine) caster level is the level at which he turns animals. Animals commanded through this ability count against the total HD limit of animals he can befriend through animal friendship.

Animal Defiance: He can turn (but not destroy) creatures of the animal type as a good cleric turns undead. He can do this 5 times per day (3 + Cha modifier). His highest (divine) caster level is the level at which he turns animals.

Natural Spell: He can complete verbal and somatic components of spells while in wild shape. He can use material components or focuses that he can hold with his current form, but he cannot make use of items melded into the new form. This feat does not permit the use of magic items while in a form that could not ordinarily use them, and it does not grant the ability to speak while in wild shape. (Note that he chooses all his spells so that they can be completed while in wild shape.)

Scent: He gains the Scent extraordinary ability (air-breather variety). See Chapter 3 of the Dungeon Master's Guide. It operates in any form.
