Griffon Aspect

Feats

This ability unlocks the aspect of the proud and fearless griffon — a creature dedicated to protecting its territory. These regal beasts are revered as symbols of freedom and strength in many cultures. A griffonheart shifter can take on the aspect of the griffon and assume griffon traits as a swift action. While in this form, she gains an aura that grants her and her allies within 30 feet a +2 bonus on saving throws against fear effects; she also gains a +2 inherent bonus to her Strength score. She can maintain this form for a number of minutes per day equal to 3 + her shifter level. The duration does not need to be consecutive, but it must be spent in 1-minute increments. At 5th level, the griffonheart shifter grows a pair of bird-like wings that grant her immunity to ground-based effects. At 10th level, the griffonheart shifter's bonus to Strength increases to +4, and her aura now grants her and her allies immunity to fear. At 15th level, the griffonheart shifter's bonus to Strength increases to +6, and she gains a +4 inherent bonus on her Will saving throws. At 20th level, the griffonheart shifter's bonus to Strength increases to +8, her inherent bonus on Will saving throws increases to +6, and she becomes resistant to movement-impairing effects (as per the freedom of movement spell). This alters and replaces all improvements to shifter aspect.
