Class - Spiritmaster
Prequisite - Barbarian level 1
Multiclass - Barbarian only.
Hitdice - d8 .
Attacks per rounds - 3/4 ( as Bards )

( Advice – get 4 barbarian levels before level 20 to get 4 attacks per round. )

Description.
The Spiritmaster is attuned to the spirits of the wild, usually via a direct bond to Gaia, although this may not be the case. The Spiritmaster honors the ancient traditions of the tribes and as such forfeits the use of ranged weapons. The Spiritmasters serves as both guides and advisers to their tribes as well as providing valuable prayerlike abilities to boost, cure and heal their allies. Furthermore the Spiritmaster calls upon the aid of nature spirits by directly summoning them to aid in combat.

The Spiritmaster is unique in several ways. First of all their powers actually also grows with barbarian levels so their strength is based upon their personal progress with both barbarian and Spiritmaster training.
Secondly almost all their powers are instantly activated and do not have uses per day but rather time until next use.
Only levels in Spiritmaster grants them new powers.

The spiritmaster is now fully integrated in the live server - all that needs to be decided if the given powers should be tweaked and what power they should get at level 20 since that is the last level of the class. If we later on decide to shift some of all the Wildshape is also to be decided.

So try something completely new in NWN and go for a little diablo style ;)

Howdy :)

Any comments on having the level 20 power being a special form with special powers.

If so im wondering what would be more interesting either damage or tankiness ?

Since barbarians are supposed to be "ultimate" tanks in alangara i personally feel it might be counterproductive if the combination of barbarian and spiritmaster makes for a better tank...

Any idea - comments ?

EDIT.
From what i can see the natures fountain might be somewhat underwhelming so it will VERY likely be upgraded in healing power
