## Class Features
### Wyrmbound (Level 2)
Unknown to many mortals, some of the most powerful spirits of the multiverse are those of dragons who have passed on. In their desire to affect the material plane, for good or ill, these draconic spirits attach themselves to mortals open to the spiritual, transforming them into Wyrmbound Shamans
#### Wyrmbound Spells

### Totemic Wyrmshape (Level 2)
As a bonus action, you can fuse with your Draconic Spirit to transform into a [Spirit Dragon](/3-Content/Compendiums/bestiary/dragon/spirit-dragon-llsh-e.md), using the rules below:
#### Stat Block
_Source: Shaman Expanded_
Your game statistics are replaced by those in the Spirit Dragon stat block. It uses your Spell save DC and proficiency bonus (PB). While transformed you retain your alignment, personality, hit points, all skill and saving throw proficiencies, and your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also determine its appearance.
#### Temporary Hit Points
_Source: Shaman Expanded_
When you transform, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Shaman level, and they last for the duration of your current transformation.
#### Equipment
_Source: Shaman Expanded_
Any natural or unrefined equipment you are wearing or carrying, such as objects made of wood, animal parts, or other natural materials, can merge with your Spirit Dragon form. Metal or other highly processed equipment, such as metal weapons or armor, fall to the ground.
#### Features
_Source: Shaman Expanded_
You retain the benefits of all features from your class, player race, and other sources, and can still use them if the Spirit Dragon is physically capable of doing so. However, you lose any special senses, unless it also has that sense.
You can still use Totemic Assault and any abilities you gain from your Bound Totems while in your Spirit Dragon form.
#### Casting Spells
_Source: Shaman Expanded_
You can't cast spells in your Spirit Dragon form. However, you can maintain concentration on spells or other abilities used before you transformed.
#### Duration & Uses
_Source: Shaman Expanded_
You can remain in Spirit Dragon form for 1 minute. Your transformation ends early if you end it as a bonus action or if you are reduced to 0 hit points.
You can transform into a Spirit Dragon once between each short or long rest. If you have no uses left, you can expend a Conduit Magic spell slot to transform again.
### Draconic Conduit (Level 2)
*2nd-level Wyrmbound feature*
The Draconic Spirit bound to your soul grants you mystical power. You can speak, read, and write Draconic. Whenever you make a Charisma check to interact with a Dragon, you add your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1) to your roll.
### Ancient Fury (Level 6)
*6th-level Wyrmbound feature*
The ferocity of your Draconic Spirit has grown. Whenever you take the Attack action as a Spirit Dragon, you can make two Spectral Slash attacks instead of one. You can replace one of these attacks with your Spirit Breath.
Moreover, when you use your action in Spirit Dragon form to use Totemic Assault, you can make a single Spectral Slash attack as a bonus action on that turn.
### Serpentine Speed (Level 10)
*10th-level Wyrmbound feature*
Your movements are enhanced by the power of your Draconic Spirit. You can take the Dash action as a bonus action. When you do so, opportunity attacks against you have disadvantage.
### Flawless Conduit (Level 14)
*14th-level Wyrmbound feature*
Your physical form can handle the full might of the Draconic Spirit you commune with. You can transform into your Spirit Dragon form at will. Though, you only gain the temporary hit points once per short or long rest, or if you expend a Conduit Magic spell slot to transform again.
### Exalted Spirit Dragon (Level 14)
*14th-level Wyrmbound feature*
You can draw on the full power of your Spirit Dragon, if only briefly. Once per long rest, you can transform into an [Exalted Spirit Dragon](/3-Content/Compendiums/bestiary/dragon/exalted-spirit-dragon-llsh-e.md) for 1 minute, using the Exalted Spirit Dragon stat block on this page. Each time you transform, you choose if you become Large or Huge.
Finally, while you are in your Exalted Spirit Dragon form, you can cast Shaman spells as normal.
