Learn how to build and play the Feral Champion in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Covers deities, wild shape, blessings, and level progression.

Hey there! So you're looking to build a Feral Champion in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous? Awesome choice! Think of this guy as a Warpriest who's really tapped into the primal power of nature. They get some seriously cool abilities, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind right from the start.

First off, your deity choice is locked down to nature-focused gods like Erastil, Gozreh, or the Green Faith. No exceptions there. You also get the awesome Wild Shape ability, letting you transform into powerful beasts. The main trade-off? You can't enchant your armor. Bummer, I know, but the trade-off is totally worth it for the other perks.

Key Abilities Explained

Feral Blessing

This is a crucial part of the Feral Champion. You absolutely MUST take the Animal Domain blessing. You don't get a choice for a second blessing; the Animal Domain is your only option. This is where a lot of your nature-themed power comes from.

Wild Shape

Starting at level 7, you unlock Wild Shape. This is your go-to ability for transforming into different animal forms. Your effective druid level for Wild Shape calculations is your class level minus 3. At level 7, you can use it once per day. You get an extra use every four levels after that, capping out at 4 uses per day by level 19. You'll start with forms like Wolf, then get Leopard at level 9, Bear at level 11, and Smilodon at level 13. Each form has its own strengths, so learn to use them situationally!
