Totemist (Dungeons & Dragons)

A totemist is a character class from the Dungeons and Dragons roleplaying game, and is found in the Magic of Incarnum supplement book.

The totemist revere magical beasts, such as the Worg or Unicorn, who they see as the most powerful forces of nature. They are like druids, only they don't cast spells. Instead they shape soulmelds; magic items that meldshapers create from soulstuff, known as Incarnum, from the souls of creatures alive, dead or to yet be born.

The totemist, while meldshapers, are different from the incarnate and soulborn. They have a different soulmeld selection that revolves around magical beasts, such as the Blink Shirt or Deplacer Mantle. They also have different chakra called the Totem Chakra.

They are also different from the druid. Unlike the druid they have no animal companion. They also don't have a wildshape ability (though it's fairly logical to say that they "turn into beasts" with a proper soulmeld selection). They also have soulmeld-themed class features instead of nature-oriented ones.

Also, unlike the druid, incarnate, and soulborn, they can be of any alignment (though many prefer to be neutral).

Only the Dusklings have the totemist as a favorite class.
