Class Features:

Plains Druids have major access to the following spheres: All, Animal, Air, Combat, Plant, Sun, Travelers, and Weather. They have minor access to the Divination, Earth, Protection, and Water spheres. Plains Druids have access to the religion-specific spells of Chauntea, the patron goddess of agriculture, so long as they fall within their allowed spheres.

A Plains Druid makes most saving throws as a priest, but he gains a bonus of +2 to all saving throws vs. fire or electrical attacks.

A Plains Druid has a +4 bonus to any animal handling, animal lore, or animal training proficiency checks concerning plains-dwelling herd beasts or riding animals.

A Plains Druid learns the languages of plains-dwelling sentient creatures (such as centaurs), gaining an extra proficiency slot for this purpose every three levels (at 3rd, 6th, etc.).

A Plains Druid identifies plants, animals, and pure water with perfect accuracy at 3rd level.

A Plains Druid speaks with any land animals that humans can ride, as well as plains-dwelling herd animals, at 3rd level as though she had cast a speak with animals spell.

A Plains Druid shapechanges into a normal, real-world reptile, bird, or mammal common to the plains up to three times per day at 7th level, exactly as the Druid ability. A plains druid can use each animal form (reptile, bird, and mammal) only once per day and cannot assume giant forms.

Plains druids typically wear as their holy symbol a diadem or arm band woven from prairie grass under a full moon.
