Shaman Class & Expanded v6.0.1 (Update)
🕑 Added 2025-01-05 15:24:23 +0000 UTCHey all!
As promised, following the 6.0 update to my Shaman Class last week, I have the matching update for my Shaman: Expanded Compendium!
What began as a small thing grew into a major expansion for this Compendium of additional options. It now includes six Spiritualities, three Feats, ten Totem Spirits, and five Elder Spirits. As always, let me know what you think of the new additions!

Shaman: Expanded v6.0.1
Feats:
All three of the Feats included here have had some changes. Spiritual Awakening has been completely reworked, Totemic Spirit now allows you to switch your Spirit on a level up, and Wise One has been toned down a bit as it gave you a lot for one Feat.
New Spiritualities!
This update includes three NEW Spiritualities (subclasses) for the Shaman: Channel the power of the constellations with the Astrologer, wield the ancient power of blood magic with the Blood Priest, and channel your magic through powerful stone idols with the Idolater!
Elementalist:
This subclass has been heavily reworked as the previous version was a little bit too fiddly for my design tastes. You can now swap your chosen element on a long rest changing a lot of your subclass! I’ve also included optional rules for one Element.
Spirit Guide:
Streamlined this subclass as it was a bit all over the place. Your Giest now uses your spell attack modifier to attack and applies the effects of your Totemic Assault. You also gain more ghostly abilities as you gain levels.
Wyrmbound:
Reworked in the same style as the Wild Heart subclass. Best to reread all the features if you’re using this one as a long has changed (for the better I hope)!
Totem Spirits:
I’ve added quite a few new summoning Totem Spirits: Servitude, the Guardian, Judgement, and Purgation. The elemental Spirits have all been reworked to modify any Shaman spell that deals damage and your Totemic Assault.
Elder Spirits:
I’ve also added one new Elder Spirit - the Spirit of the Mystic, which grants you access to some of the more “mystical” high level spells.

Shaman Expanded v6.0.1 - Change Log
Feats
Spiritual Awakening // Completely reworked. Sacred Focus is too core of a feature to the Shaman to be available as a Feat (similar to Warlock’s Pact Boons).
Totemic Spirit // You can now increase Wisdom or Charisma. You can also swap out the Totemic Spirit you chose when you gain a level.
Wise One // Reworked. This and Lifelong Learner (also updated) were too good IMO.
Spiritualities
Astrologer // NEW Spirituality based on Starlight and Constellations.
Blood Priest // NEW Spirituality based on Blood Magic.
Far Seer // Moved to the Shaman Class main document.
Idolater // NEW Spirituality based on stone Idols.
Elementalist
Overall, this subclass has been heavily reworked - best to read it all over!
Elemental Sage // Renamed (Elemental Mastery). Split Totemic Destruction off.
Totemic Destruction // Most of the Totemic Assault effects have been reworked.
Elemental Wrath // Free Spirit of Wrath for your associated Element damage.
Elemental Empowerment // Flavor/ribbon feature based on your Element.
Primordial Conduit // One free elemental spell, temporary hit points.
Elder Elemental Spirits // You have two Elder Spirits (one is your Element), but you still only get one spell casting of each 6th+ level spell per day. Just more options.
Master of the Elements // Renamed (Elemental Ascension) and reworked.
Bonus! Included rules for playing locked into one Element.
Spirit Guide
Totemic Bond // Rewritten for clarity.
Giest // Spectral Touch // Now uses your Spell attack modifier. On hit, it applies the damage and effects of your Totemic Assault.
