''A Shaman is not an ordinary Barbarian. They connect to the primal and spiritual powers around them and hear their emotions and feelings as if they were thoughts and words. Few Barbarians have the patience to temper their fighting spirit and manipulate the world around them, but those that do earn the prestige title of Shaman. A Shaman usually acts as an advisor to the leader of a clan, tribe, or other gathering of warriors. Sometimes, a Shaman will venture alone and become a wandering nomad, seeking a greater connection with both the natural and spiritual world. Shaman combine magical power and martial prowess to become forces of fast and violent nature, annihilating adversaries with a calm and focused rage.''

Shaman Instinct
You've learned to call upon primal powers to enhance yourself and destroy your enemies. You combine understanding of the elements, life, and the spirit world with a meticulously trained fighting ability. This magical and martial combination allows you to ???. As you progress, you ???. You must select Shaman Dedication as your 2nd-level class feat.

Prerequisites: You must be a Barbarian.

Shaman Adjustments: Instead of choosing an instinct from the options listed in the Barbarian class, you have the Shaman Instinct. It has the following anathema, instinct ability, specialization ability, and raging resistance. You gain these abilities at the same levels as normal for the class.


 * Anathema: Disrespecting elements or spirits is anathema to your instinct; defending yourself from them is not.
 * Instinct Ability (Shaman Rage): While raging, you can increase the additional damage from Rage from 2 to 3 and change its damage type to acid, cold, fire, or lightning, instead of the damage type for your weapon or unarmed attack (choose each time you Rage). Your Rage action gains the Evocation and Primal traits.
 * Specialization Ability: ???
 * Raging Resistance: You resist piercing damage and the damage type you choose when you use your Shaman Rage ability.
