Druid Domains

Description Source: Ultimate Magic
Presented in the section below are new rules for animal and terrain domains—domains for druids whose focus is more specific than the Animal, Plant, Weather, or elemental domains. A druid with the nature's bond ability can choose an animal domain or terrain domain. Just like cleric domains, animal and terrain domains have granted powers and domain spells, and a druid who selects an animal or terrain domain gains a domain spell slot at each level. A druid who worships a deity (as opposed to nature in general) cannot select an animal or terrain domain that contradicts or is outside of the portfolio of her deity.

If an animal or terrain domain ability calls for a saving throw, the DC of the save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the character's druid level + her Wisdom modifier.

Other nature-themed classes with access to domains may select an animal or terrain domain in place of a regular domain.

Note from Nethys: In addition to Animal and Terrain domains, this section contains any domain specific for Druid use.

Aquatic Domain

Source Ultimate Magic pg. 33

Granted Powers: You master the deeps of the sea, raging rivers, flowing falls, and relentless tides.

Sealord (Su): You can channel energy (as a cleric of your druid level) a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier, but only to heal creatures with the aquatic or water subtype or to command them (similar to using the Command Undead feat against undead). You can take other feats to add to this ability, such as Extra Channel and Improved Channel, but not feats that alter this ability, such as Elemental Channel and Alignment Channel. The DC to save against this ability is equal to 10 + 1/2 your druid level + your Charisma modifier.

Seastrike (Su): At 6th level, as a free action, you may use natural and manufactured weapons in water as if you had continuous freedom of movement. As a standard action, you can throw a weapon underwater without the normal penalties for throwing weapons; if your target is in or under the water, the weapon also acts as a returning weapon (see page 471 of the Core Rulebook) for that attack.

Domain Spells: 1st—hydraulic push, 2nd—slipstream, 3rd—water breathing, 4th—freedom of movement, 5th—black tentacles, 6th—freezing sphere, 7th—animal shapes (aquatic creatures only), 8th—seamantle, 9th—tsunami.

Granted Powers: You master the might of the endless, snow-covered wastes beneath the midnight sun, where icy polar winds blow.

Call Cold (Su): You can channel energy (as a cleric of your druid level) a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier, but only to heal creatures with the cold subtype or to command them (similar to using the Command Undead feat against undead). You can take other feats that add to this ability, such as Extra Channel and Improved Channel, but not feats that alter this ability, such as Elemental Channel and Alignment Channel. The DC to save against this ability is equal to 10 + 1/2 your druid level + your Charisma modifier.

Banish Flame (Su): At 6th level, you may use your call cold ability to damage creatures with the fire subtype (as a cleric channeling negative energy) or to cause them to flee from you (as the Turn Undead feat). Alternatively, you may use this ability to negate magical fire effects as if using a targeted dispel magic; at 12th level, this functions as targeted or area greater dispel magic instead of dispel magic.

You make a melee touch attack against a creature wearing metal armor or wielding a metal weapon. If you hit, choose a metal weapon, suit of metal armor, or metal shield carried or worn by that creature. The object takes an amount of hit point damage equal to 1d6 + half your druid level.

You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

Thin Air (Su): At 8th level, as a free action, you can surround yourself with a 5-foot aura of supernaturally thin air that draws the breath from creatures adjacent to you.

A successful Reflex save halves the damage and prevents the secondary effect. You can use this ability once per day, plus an additional time for every 6 levels beyond 8th.

When you do so, you impart a modicum of implanted intelligence on the vermin, allowing you to interact with vermin as if they were animals. Vermin whisperer functions only on vermin that are mindless or have an Intelligence score of 2 or lower.

Sudden Sting (Su): At 8th level, you can inflict a lingering, painful sting as a swift action that requires a successful melee touch attack. This sting deals 1d4 points of piercing damage plus 1 point for every 2 druid levels you have, and the target must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + half your druid level + your Constitution modifier) or become staggered for 1 round. This is a pain effect. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

Domain Spells: 1st—ant haul, 2nd—summon swarm, 3rd— vermin shape I, 4th—vermin shape II, 5th—insect plague, 6th—swarm skin, 7th—creeping doom, 8th—verminous transformation, 9th—summon nature’s ally IX (1d3 purple worms only).

Vulture Domain

Source Faiths and Philosophies pg. 25

Granted Powers: Yours is the power of death and rebirth. Your spirit soars above all and moves with the flow of unseen currents.

Death's Companion (Ex): Your totem grants you protection from the harbingers of death. As an immediate action, you gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against disease, death spells, and death effects that lasts a number of rounds equal to your druid level. This bonus increases by 2 at 6th level and every 5 levels thereafter, to a maximum of +8 at 16th level. You may use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

Agent of Rebirth (Sp): At 8th level, you may expend a quantity of special oils worth 1,000 gp to cast reincarnate as a spell-like ability usable once per day. Additionally, when using this ability or casting reincarnate as a prepared spell, you have some influence over the physical form that the reincarnated spirit will take. When rolling against the spell’s incarnation table, you may roll twice and choose between the two results.

Domain Spells: 1st—deathwatch, 2nd—glideAPG, 3rd— death knell, 4th—death ward, 5th—breath of life, 6th—circle of death, 7th—resurrection, 8th—finger of death, 9th—winds of vengeanceAPG.

Wolf Domain

Source Ultimate Magic pg. 36

Granted Powers: You run with the pack and are the master of the cold hunt of your spirit totem.

Improved Trip: You gain Improved Trip as a bonus feat.

Pack Tactics (Ex): At 8th level, as a free action on your turn, you can designate an adjacent square; your attacks are treated as coming from that square for the purposes of determining whether or not you are flanking (this applies even if that square is occupied by an object or creature). This ends at the start of your next turn or if you move. If you are flanking a creature without using this ability, you may add your Wisdom bonus to your attack roll rather than the normal +2 flanking bonus. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

Domain Spells: 1st—hunter's howl, 2nd—bloodhound, 3rd—aspect of the wolf, 4th—strong jaw, 5th—tireless pursuers, 6th—find the path, 7th—animal shapes (canines only), 8th—phantasmal revenge, 9th—freedom.
