: The Druid gains a perfect understanding of the true glory and power of the animal. Any spells the Druid casts upon their animal companion has double the duration. Note that this does not stack with any other ability which increases spell durations. The Druid's animal companion gains a +1 bonus to AC, Str, and Con for every two Druid levels above 20th the Druid possesses. Any time the Druid casts an Enchantment spell on any creature with the animal type, they must roll 2d20 for any saves or Spell Resistance and take the result that the Druid prefers. Finally, all animals feel kinship with the Druid. Any time a creature with the animal type wishes to attack the Druid for the first time in a given encounter, they must roll a Will saving throw against a difficulty of 10 + one half the Druids Druid level + the Druids Wis modifier. If this save is failed, the animal hesitates in the attack and loses its attack action for the round. Once this save is successfully made, a creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours. | : The Druid gains a perfect understanding of the true glory and power of the animal.

: The Druid feels the true calling of Nature in their very soul. While in natural terrain you may always find food for yourself, with no need to roll and no need to spend time foraging. If you place any traps, magical or otherwise, into natural terrain, they receive a +20 bonus to their DC to be spotted and disarmed. Your overland travel speeds are all doubled in any natural terrain, you never take any penalties for hustling any length of time in natural terrain, and you may hustle all day to double your overland travel daily numbers again while in natural terrain. Lastly, you may now 'stack' the effects of your Wild Shape. Whenever you use Wild Shape to assume any form, you may choose one additional trait from any of the spells your Wild Shape can replicate and use it with the chosen shape as a bonus ability. | : The Druid feels the true calling of Nature in their very soul.
