===Druid Class Features===
Armor/Weapons: Druids are proficient with clubs, daggers, darts, quarterstaffs, scimitars, scythes, sickles, shortspears, slings, and spears. They are also proficient with all natural attacks of any form they assume with wild shape. Druids are proficient with light and medium armor but are prohibited from wearing metal armor. Druids are proficient with shields (except tower shields) but must use only wooden ones.
Nature Bond (Ex): At 1st level, a druid forms a bond with an animal companion. This animal is a loyal companion that accompanies the druid on her adventures.
Cavesense (Ex): A cave druid adds Knowledge (dungeoneering) rather than Knowledge (geography) as a class skill and gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (dungeoneering) and Survival skill checks. This ability replaces the nature sense ability.
Wild Empathy (Ex): A druid can improve the initial attitude of an animal. The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his druid level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. A cave druid can influence oozes with a –4 penalty on his wild empathy check.
Orisons (Sp): Druids can prepare a number of orisons, or 0-level spells, each day, as noted on Table: Druid under “Spells per Day.” These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again.
Spontaneous Casting (Sp): A druid can use a prepared spell to cast any summon nature’s ally spell of the same level or lower.
Tunnelrunner (Ex): At 2nd level, a cave druid can move through areas of rubble or narrow passages that require squeezing at her normal movement rate and without penalty. This ability replaces woodland stride.
Lightfoot (Ex): At 3rd level, a cave druid cannot be detected with tremorsense. This ability replaces trackless step.
Resist Subterranean Corruption (Ex): At 4th level, a cave druid gains a +2 bonus on saves against exceptional, supernatural, and spell-like abilities of oozes and aberrations. This ability replaces resist nature’s lure.
===Feats===
Spell Focus - Conjuration (1st level): +1 DC for all saving throws against spells from the conjuration school.
Augment Summoning (3rd level): Each creature you conjure with any summon spell gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and Constitution for the duration of the spell that summoned it.
===Traits===
Capable - Stealth (General): Years of lurking in dangerous subterranean locales has taught Cavernous Hode the value of hiding. He gains a +1 trait bonus to Stealth and it is a permanent class skill.
Armor Expert (Combat): Cavernous Hode's always worn the hides of whatever beasts he was able to find. ACP is reduced by 1 to a minimum of 0.

===Appearance===
Cavernous Hode is a bald dwarf with a long, braided beard and disconcertingly pale eyes. A vicious-looking dire rat scurries around his feet.
===Demeanor===
Cavernous Hode has spent much of his life alone, lurking in deep and dangerous caves, with only Mister Dickens for company. Cavernous Hode is nice enough, but he seems more than a little unhinged, and has a habit of talking to himself. He also refers to himself in the third person.
Cavernous Hode is apparently oblivious to the fact that Mister Dickens is a vicious, bloodthirsty, feral beast that obviously has some fiendish blood in his ancestry. To Cavernous Hode, Mister Dickens is just a big sweety-pie.
===Background===
Cavernous Hode was born in a deep outpost of the dwarves, far beneath the mountains. When he was young, his village was wiped out by some sort of fell beasts, leaving Cavernous Hode the sole survivor. He spent his youth wandering the deep ways by himself, eventually finding his way to the surface, where some of the shiny rocks he'd found turned out to have some value.
Now that he's above ground, Cavernous Hode is constantly amazed by the lack of a ceiling overhead. It seems to him that this is a rather unsafe state of affairs, given that anything could come falling down at any time. However, Cavernous Hode is getting used to it.
Also, kites are a lot of fun. Cavernous Hode approves of kites.
