Pack Leader (3.5e Class)
Pack Leader
Outcast from most societies, these adventurers formed life-bonds with animals. From there they create packs of theirs own and are virtually a family. Fighting together, eating together, and protecting each other as a whole. Usually human or elven, but this is not always the case. Most Pack Leaders do not have a deity or religion because they trust in nature and each other, though if any do believe it would be in a nature deity. (Obad-Hai or Ehlonna) Nature and woodlands respectfully.
Making a Pack Leader
