The Actaeon is a legendary fey warrior, protector of the forests and servant of immortals. The fey looks like a large, very muscular warrior, with the legs and head of an elk. Their majestic antlers are huge and dangerous. Actaeons typically wear simple loinclothes, and carry large longspears made of bone or wood. They are the heroes of fey culture, and often they are met while on a quest to further fey causes within the forest. Apart from their powers, they are also masters of fey and forest lore. Some of them advance as druids and rangers.

All special effects treat the Actaeon as a 12th level caster.

Breath Weapon (Su) : once per day, the Actaeon can breath a cloud of green vapour. The cloud fills a 10'x10'x10' area that is adjacent to the Actaeon. Any being within it is affected by a strong baleful polymorph. The save DC is 22, but even a successful save means a duration of 24 hours. The Actaeon may breathe again the next day to dispel his own breath. Save DC is con based.

Summon Nature's Allies (Sp) : Once per day, as a spell-like ability, the Actaeon may use a summon nature's ally VI effect.

Forest Stealth (Ex) : Within the forest, the Actaeon moves with uncanny agility and stealth. He receives a circumstance bonus of +10 to hide checks, made within the forest.
