The Spirit Shaman is a character class in the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition that was introduced in the Complete Divine.
The spirit shaman is a mix between the druid and the sorcerer classes. It uses the druid spell list and attack progression while casting spells spontaneously like a sorcerer.
The class has a fairly narrow divine spell selection; changing their spell selection each day by sending their spirit guide into the spirit world. The shaman also has a special abilities that affect spirits (incorporeal undead, fey, elementals and creatures defined as spirits in other texts) as well as receiving a spirit guide. The spirit guide is a purely mental/spiritual creature, incapable of affecting the world, though it does grant the spirit shaman the feat, "Alertness", as well as justifying certain class features. Ultimately, at 20th level, spirit shamans will becomes a spirit (fey) themselves, much as a 20th level monk becomes an outsider.
The spirit shaman is similar to the favored soul; they are both spontaneous divine casters and were both published in the Complete Divine.
No currently published race has Spirit Shaman as favored class.
