Dragon Shaman
Description
|
Dragons are more than mere animals. They have souls like mortals although they are not gathered to the Goddess of Death when they are slain. Their energies permeate Lorithandar and are eventually reborn anew. The most rare shaman learn to bind these spirits to their service. Each of the five types of dragon spirit has its own spell at each rank, and the shaman may only choose the spell for their spirits type. Although these spirits are less flexible than others, they provide stronger imbue bonuses and better Manifest stats.
Spirit Powers
With each rank the shaman gains either improved spirit stats for Manifest Spirit or an Imbue Power, as well as a single spell of that rank. As Dragons are creatures inherently tied to their Source, they provide spells and powers that are available to other Sources with the exception of Green Dragons, who provide spells uniquely suited to Shamanism.
