Overview
A new Shaman is advised to use the typical statpack, though they may change to something else later. Everyone receives one free reincarnation upon leaving novicehood (level 31), and if that is used up, another one upon reaching Tekal (level 99). It is common for people to keep an early statpack until reaching level 100.
Skills
Primality allows Shamans communicate with the primal energy in the natural world, using it in great feats of magic like summoning bursts of lightning, monumental storms of wind, and even commanding nature to such an extent that they may lash their foes with venomous vines and leave their battered bodies to be reclaimed by the Cycle itself.
Shamanism allows Shamans to swear blood 
[Oaths] to the guardian spirits of Dendara, allowing them to summon their familiar to fight alongside them. A Shaman is also armed with a number of rituals, from simple bone casting to track their foe's actions, to adorning protective masks of bone, to casting ill fate upon their victim through ominous premonitions and even omens of death. Alongside this, a Shaman learns of the various crafted fetishes they may string upon their staff, and how each fetish is more than a mere symbol.
Naturalism is a direct manifestation of a Shaman's role as a guardian of Nature. Through this skill, Shamans learn to retain a room of their choice in the form of a grove - a location where they are a master of their surroundings. Through their [Overgrowth], a Shaman may pull their enemies from where they stand, animate the plantlife around them into a savage weapon, generate impassable barriers of vines and thorns and even invigorate all allies who stand within their domain.
