Class Features

---

As a tribal summoner, you gain the following class features.

 

Additional Spell Slots

 

Beginning when you select this path at 2nd level, you gain additionel spell slots for each 5th level you reach. 

Nature Elements

 

Beginning at 2nd level, with the force of the elements you can control earth and nature.

You no longer need to write down all your spells into a spellbook, with tattoos and body painting you can prepare, equal to the wizard class itself, spells (equal to your wizard level + intelligence modifier). Each body painting / tattoo is standing for a specific spell category (the different schools). The more spells you got from a category the more powerful they are. 

Without a Spellbook

You now don't need any longer your spellbook to remember spells, you now have 8 Giant Tattoos spread across your body and each one stands for one school. The Tattoos start to "grow" with every new spell you learn, you still can copy spells from spellbooks, tough it still costs the same amount of time and GP to do so and you still need to prepare them.

Without your Spellbook you can't any longer copy Spells from your own book to another.

Now you can teach anybody your spells, if they have the right spell level for it, but you have to use all of your spell slots at the spells level you teach and have to invest 8 hours to teach somebody another spell. (This works for every Spell level) 

One with Nature

 

Starting at 6th level, you get one with Nature, You take the power of plants, roots and other Nature elements to strengthen your vital abilities. your maximum HP increases by 1 additional d4 from now on. (After each level)  

You can now, talk with Beasts and it's easier for you to act with them, you get a Bonus in Animal Handling, equal to your Dexterity Modifier and you can tame them temporarily (DC 15 + CR) for 8 hours or until you travel to the next town (One chance per Beast). Your DM has to balance and determine which attacks of your new familiar you can use. 

Natures Friend

 

Beginning at 10th level, you concentrate all the Natures Power you gained so far and summon a "Giant Scorpion". He has his own stats and acts like a PC that you control, except for attacks.
