===Class Features===
Druid 1 (Serpent Shaman)
Armor/Weapons: Club, dagger, dart, quarterstaff, scimitar, sickle, shortspear, sling, and spear; proficient with all natural attacks of a form assumed with wild shape. Proficient with nonmetal light and medium armor. Proficient with wooden shields with the exception of tower shields. Cannot use druid spells or supernatural or spell-like abilities while using prohibited armor or shields or for 24 hours afterwards.
Spells: Divine casting. Prepares spells from the druid spell list. Can "lose" a prepared spell to spontaneously cast a summon nature's ally spell of the same level or lower. Cannot cast spells of opposing alignments.
Bonus Languages: Gains Druidic as a free language. Can learn Sylvan, the language of woodland creatures, as a bonus language.
Nature Bond: A serpent shaman who chooses an animal companion must select a snake. If choosing a domain, the serpent shaman must choose from the Animal, Charm, Trickery, and Water domains.
Nature Sense: +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks.
Wild Empathy: Functions as a Diplomacy check, but to improve the attitude of an animal. Must be used within 30 feet of the target and under normal conditions. Can be used on a magical beast with Intelligence 1 or 2 at a -4 penalty. A serpent shaman can use wild empathy on a reptile as a full-round action at a +4 bonus.
Woodland Stride: Starting at 2nd level, a druid may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at his normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect her.
Totem Transformation: At 2nd level, a serpent shaman may adopt an aspect of the snake while retaining her normal form. The druid may select from the following bonuses:
 -Movement (climb speed 20 feet, swim speed 20 feet)
 -scales (+2 natural armor bonus to AC)
 -Senses (low-light vision, scent)
 -Natural weapons (bite [1d4], poison [ frequency 1 round (6), effect 1 Con damage, Cure 1 save, Con-based DC] for a Medium druid, +2 CMB to grapple). 
While using totem transformation, the serpent shaman may speak normally and can cast speak with animals (reptiles only) at will. Using this ability is a standard action at 2nd level, a move action at 7th level, and a swift action at 12th level. The serpent shaman can use this ability for a number of minutes per day equal to her druid level. These minutes do not need to be consecutive, but they must be used in 1-minute increments. This is a polymorph effect and cannot be used while the druid is using another polymorph effect, such as wild shape.
===Feats===
Improved Unarmed Strike: (1st Level Feat): You are skilled at fighting while unarmed. You are considered to be armed even when unarmed—you do not provoke attacks of opportunity when you attack foes while unarmed. Your unarmed strikes can deal lethal or nonlethal damage, at your choice.
===Traits===
Ease of Faith (Faith): The gnomes who taught Tirgas his faith took steps to ensure that he understood that the divine magic of dwarves, gnomes, and all other races and creeds draw on the same powers. This philosophy makes it easier for him to interact with others who may not share his views. 
+1 bonus on Diplomacy checks, and Diplomacy is always a class skill.
Knowledgeable (Arcana and Dungeoneering): Tirgas has devoted himself to investigating and meditating upon all forms of life, even those that other druids might consider not entirely "natural." He has made several attempts to build rapport with both magical beasts and aberrations of animal-level intelligence, but has so far met with no success and several injuries. Tirgas gets a +1 trait bonus to the Knowledge (Arcana) and Knowledge (Dungeoneering) skills, and the latter is always a class skill.

Appearance: Tirgas is youthful for a druid and less stocky than the typical dwarf. Even while within the confines of civilization, Tirgas is generally filthy. While he may occasionally bathe in a stream or lake, he will usually not do so until he has developed a healthy coat of grime. During extended periods of meditation and fasting, his beard may become colonized by various algae, fungi, and insects. By the time he's made his way to Venza, however, he will usually have groomed out the most obvious flora and fauna, leaving only some faint green streaks. 
Demeanor: Peaceful and aware, Tirgas seems to observe all events, good or ill, with a kind of benevolent equanimity. There is, however, a spark of wildness behind his eyes. Few have seen him angry, even among those he has killed.
===Background===
Tirgas was always odd for a dwarf, expressing more interest in things living than built from an early age. While he possessed the usual dwarven lack of tact, he was more gregarious than stoic, engaging in conversations with strangers, especially outsiders, whenever possible. It was this fascination with life outside the mountain that led to his temporary employment by gnomes, which in turn led to him becoming a worshipper of Kaven. In order to join the Druidic followers of his deity, Tirgas cast off the name and affiliations of his native clan. Adopting the lifestyle of a wandering mendicant, he became known as simply "The Hermit." 
These days, he mostly dwells by himself in the Tenebrous Woods; however, he will occasionally visit Venza, ostensibly to learn of the current state of the world, and to let others know of the state of the woods, if he can get them to listen. Unofficially, he visits because there's no ale to be had in the woods.
