Rage Powers (Ex): This ability is exactly like the barbarian ability of the same name, except that the spirit warrior gains a rage power at 3rd level and every three levels thereafter.

Infused Body (Su): At 4th level, a spirit warrior’s body becomes one with his spirit animal and gains a +1 natural armor bonus. This bonus increases by +1 at 9th level and every five levels thereafter, to a maximum of +4 at 19th level. This ability replaces rage power at 2nd, 14th, and 20th level.

Wild Shape (Su): Once per day, a 7th level spirit warrior can wild shape as the druid ability, but can only turn himself into a Medium animal of the same type as his spirit animal. This ability functions as beast shape I, but the effect lasts for 1 hour per 2 spirit warrior levels, or until he changes back. At 10th level, a spirit warrior can wild shape twice per day, and can change into a Large form of his spirit animal. His wild shape now functions as beast shape II. At 13th level, a spirit warrior can wild shape three times per day. At 16th level, a spirit warrior can use wild shape four times per day, and can change into a Huge form of his spirit animal. His wild shape now functions as beast shape III. At 19th level, a spirit warrior can wild shape five times per day. A spirit warrior can rage while in his wild shape form. This ability replaces damage reduction.

Spirit Hybrid (Su): At 8th level, a spirit warrior can assume a humanoid hybrid form of his spirit animal whenever he wild shapes, instead of the normal animal form. When in this form, the spirit warrior gains the senses, natural armor bonus, speed, natural attacks, and racial skill modifiers of his animal form. This also allows the spirit warrior to use ranged or melee weapons in addition to natural attacks during his wild shape. This ability replaces rage power at 8th level.

Dire Spirit (Ex): At 12th level, whenever the spirit warrior wild shapes, he may add either the advanced or giant template to his spirit animal form as a free action. Adding any one of these templates increases the creature’s equivalent HD by +1. This ability replaces indomitable will.
