Nature-focused Kitsune
I'm trying to make a Pathfinder character based on a character from a novel I'm writing. The character's name is Kei and he's an animal spirit that lives in a forest full of various nature spirits like dryads, naiads, and other animal spirits. I'm using kitsune as the race as it's the most fitting. He's very protective about nature, can use some magic but fights with tooth and claw if need be. The obvious choice is druid, but I don't really like prepared casters. Is there another class he could go with?
