Totem Companion (Ex): A totem may begin play with a

totem companion selected from the following list: badger, bat, camel, tiny cat, dire rat, dog, eagle, hawk, horse (light), lizard (Tiny), owl, rate (Dire), snake (Medium viper), or wolf. This animal is a loyal companion that accompanies the totem on his adventures as appropriate for its kind.

A totem’s totem companion is different from a normal animal of its kind in many ways. The companion is treated as a magical beast, not an animal, for the purpose of all effects that depend on its type (though it retains an animal’s HD, base attack bonus, saves, skill points, and feats). It is superior to a normal animal of its kind and has special powers, as described under the druid’s animal companion ability in the PHB. A totem who has levels as a druid, ranger, or other class with animal companion adds his totem level to his druid or ranger level to determine his effective class level for purposes of animal companion special abilities. If a totem releases his companion from service, he may gain a new one by performing a ceremony requiring 24 uninterrupted hours of prayer. This ceremony can also replace a totem

companion that has perished.

Animal Attitude (Ex): At 2nd level, a totem gains one of

the following traits depending upon what animal type a totem chooses:

Bat, Horse, and Raven: A totem gains a +3 aspect bonus to Sense Motive skill checks. At 4th level his aspect bonus increases to +6.

Cat and Dog: A totem gains a +3 aspect bonus to Diplomacy skill checks. At 4th level his aspect bonus increases to +6. Lizard, Owl, and Rat: A totem gains a +3 aspect bonus to Bluff skill checks. At 4th level his aspect bonus increases to +6. Badger, Eagle, and Wolf: A totem gains a +3 aspect bonus to Intimidate skill checks. At 4th level his aspect bonus increases to +6.

Wild Shape (Su): At 5th level, a totem gains the ability to

turn herself into an animal that corresponds to their chosen totem once per day. A totem transforms into one of the following as determined by their chosen totem: badger, bat, camel, tiny cat, dire rat, dog, eagle, hawk, horse (light), lizard (Tiny), owl, rate (Dire), snake (Medium viper), or wolf. This ability functions like the polymorph spell, except as noted here. The effect lasts for 1 hour per totem level, or until he changes back. Changing form (to animal or back) is a standard action and doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity.

A totem loses his ability to speak while in animal form because he is limited to the sounds that a normal, untrained animal can make, but he can communicate normally with other animals of the same general grouping as his new form. (The normal sound a wild parrot makes is a squawk, so changing to this form does not permit speech.)
