Nature's Defense

Starting at 1st level, while you are not wearing any armor, your armor class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

Spirit Allies

Also at 1st level, you gain a well of spirits which you can gradually call upon more and more as you gain levels in this class.
-you may have a number of active "spirits" equal to your conduit capacity pool, which is shown on the Shaman class table.
-On your turn you may command all of your summoned spirits ( if you have more than 1) as a bonus action to move up to their movement, and potentially attack.
-Whenever you hit an attack that exceeds the targets ac by 5 or more, you may forgo the weapons base "overkill" mechanic if it has one, and summon a nature spirit. The nature spirit takes to form of a small sized woodland creature made of a pale blue energy, the creature can be the shape of your choice, it has no effect on mechanics. This does not apply if summoning a nature spirit would exceed your conduit capacity.

Additionally, you gain proficiency in the Nature skill. If you already had proficiency it becomes expertise.

Totems:

Starting at 3nd level, you can create a small totem from the corpse of an animal to be used within battle. As an action, you may make a survival check to create an "animal totem" from the corpse of a animal within 5ft. The Corpse must meet the following conditions for you to do so:
-Creature type of Beast
-Size large or smaller
-Cr no higher than half your level
The DC of the survival check is (12 + Cr of the Monster), this check can only be attempted once per corpse.
alternatively you may take 10 minutes to lower the DC to (5 + CR of Monster)

Animal Spirits:

At 3rd level, you also gain the ability to return the spirits of slain creatures. As a bonus action on your turn, you may consume 2 natures spirits and an "animal totem" from your inventory to summon an animal spirit. Animal Spirits consume 2 slots of your conduit capacity, and may be commanded with the same bonus action as all other spirits. The Animal Spirit has the same statistics as its original creature stat-block.

Elemental Totem:

Beginning at 6th level, you can create a unique totem, binding one of the primal forces into a more stable form. You may choose one of the "Elemental Spirits" from the list. Whenever you gain levels in this class, you may exchange one of your elemental spirits for another on the list. As an action you may consume any number of active spirits on the field whose conduit capacity adds to 4 (2 animal spirits, 4 nature spirits, ect.) to summon a floating monolith of your chosen elemental spirit which provides the passive effects noted in its entry, The aura size of this effect is 15ft. Each monolith consumes 4 slots of conduit capacity.

Pack Leader:

at 7th level, when you make an attack against a creature which is within 5ft of one of your spirits, you have advantage on the attack.

Additionally, the DM may waive the creature type requirement at their discretion, attempts to create non beast totems add +5 to the DC of the survival check.

Bestial Aspect:
