First, Wisdom should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. You can make a shaman quickly by following these suggestions. Are you from a family of shamans? Were you found by a master shaman in the past and they decided to train you? Or were you the one to find the shaman and ask to be trained? What do you use your powers for? To protect nature? To help the people you care about? To pass judgment on the ones who destroy nature? Think about this and also about how was your training and why you went through it.

When creating a shaman, this is of great importance, because you must decide how your shaman views the civilized world, most shamans tend to not like grand civilizations and its people, seeing as they destroy nature to expend, but on some cases after interacting with them they may come to enjoy the company of some people. The gentle quiet of a forest or a distant mountainside may help foster deeper meditation and communion with the spirits, though on the other hand, a shaman capable of connecting with the nature in a city has the advantage of being surrounded by a great number of spirits. That is why there are so few shamans in cities and other places where civilization has uprooted it. Shamans must connect with nature in order to contact the spirits. But all of that hard work tends to truly pay off, since often the spirits tend to gravitate towards the shaman, granting them assistance.Ĭreating a Shaman Intertwined With Nature Shamanism is a secret art, even more so than druidism, taking people years of rigorous training and concentration to contact spirits, and even more so to take their power for themselves. As Shamans are so connected with the spirit realm, they may seem otherworldly and have difficulty with more practical day-to-day aspects of society, for example they may confuse the past with the present or refer to people using their ancestor's names. In this way they connect with the world around them, attracting spirits, which they form bonds with to gain power and knowledge of the past and future of the land and its peoples. Shamans connect with the dead ancestors and the unborn children who dwell amongst us, through meditation, rituals and study. They can cast spells or use the very spirits to help them in and out of combat, so much so, that being surrounded by spirits is a common occurrence for them. They are the bridge that connects the material world and the ethereal world.

Shamans are magic users that gain their powers through spirits. A half-elf holds one of his shamanic foci, his enemies laugh, thinking this is an easy kill, when suddenly from the focus comes a bolt of lightning, fulminating the unsuspected enemy.

An elf concentrates in its meditation, the spirits around her come forth, to protect her against preying beasts. While travelling through swamps, forests and deserts a young human receives directions from the spirits.
