A Thousand Faces (Su): Aleretheral can change his appearance at will, as if using the spell alter self.

Animal Companion: Aleretheral may have one or more animal companions. These animals are ones that he has befriended with the spell animal friendship. The total Hit Dice of all animal companions at a time may not exceed 13.

Nature Sense: Aleretheral 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: Aleretheral gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against the spell-like abilities of feys (such as dryads, nymphs, and sprites).

Venom Immunity: Aleretheral gains immunity to all organic poisons, including monster poisons but not mineral poisons or poison gas.

Wild Shape (Sp): Aleretheral can change into a Tiny, Small, Medium-size, Large, or dire animal and back again 4/day. He may adopt only one form per use of this ability. When he adopts an animal form, Aleretheral 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 special abilities when he does so.

Woodland Stride: Aleretheral may 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.

New Feats

Vermin Control [General]

You can channel the power of nature to gain mastery over vermin creatures.

Prerequisites: Vermin Defiance, ability to cast speak with vermin and vermin friendship.

Benefit: You can rebuke or command vermin as an evil cleric rebukes undead. To command an animal, you must be able to speak with it via a speak with vermin spell or effect, though you can issue your commands mentally if desired. The number of times per day that you can use this ability is equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. Your highest divine caster level is the level at which you rebuke animals.

Special: Vermin you command through this ability count against the HD limit of animals you can befriend through vermin friendship.

Vermin Defiance [General]

You can channel the power of nature to drive off vermin.

Prerequisites: Ability to cast detect animals or plants.

Benefit: You can turn (but not destroy) vermin as a good cleric turns undead. The number of times per day that you can use this ability is equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. Your highest divine caster level is the level at which you turn vermin.
