BEASTMASTERS (2332)
It is said that some feel closer to animals than to their sentient bipedal brethren. Legends of wildmen raised by beasts or those who keep fierce animal companions have proven to be true, with some of these individuals emerging into the ranger guild as beastmasters. Beastmasters are a fierce lot, possessing a more feral spirit than any of their other ranger counterparts. With minds too wild for scholarly study, they are less proficient than other rangers with nature magic, and are often even illiterate. They are, however, exceedingly capable when it comes to the control and emulation of beasts of all kinds. In addition, beastmasters gain the following abilities: Predator's Stance, Cloud of Wasps, Serpent Kinship, Wolf Kinship, and Bear Kinship. Beastmasters lose the following abilities: scrolls, haggle, pen, control weather, call lightning. Races that can be beastmasters are: Humans, Half-Elves, Half-Drow, Elves, Dark Elves, Wood Elves, Cloud Giants, Fire Giants, Arials, Felar, Centaurs, Saurians, and Frost Giants.
