At level 0, a Defender of the True World gains a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against fey. They can sacrifice a prepared spell of 7th level or lower to cast any Summon Nature's Ally spell of the same level. When capable of casting 8th level spells, they can sacrifice an 8th level spell to summon an Elder Earth Elemental, and when capable of casting 9th level spells, they can sacrifice a 9th level spell to summon an Elder Worm.

Fey Stalker

At 3rd level, the Defender of the True World's animal companion and any creatures summoned with Summon Nature's Ally gain a +1 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls against fey. This bonus increases at 8th, 13th, and 18th levels.

Feybane

At 4th level, the Defender of the True World gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against the spell-like and supernatural abilities of the fey. Their natural attacks count as cold iron for overcoming damage reduction, and they gain a +2 bonus on caster level checks to overcome the spell resistance of fey creatures.
