| - | '''Repress Nature's Sign (Su):''' Starting at eighth level, a druid may suppress side effects of binds for a short time. By spending a swift action to make a Will save (DC 15 + twice the bind's level, so that a fourth level spirit would have a DC 23 Will save), a druid can suppress the effects of one spirit's Nature's Sign ability. The duration of suppression is based upon how much the druid beats the save DC by: | + | '''Repress Nature's Sign (Su):''' Starting at eighth level, a druid may suppress side effects of binds for a short time. By spending a swift action to make a Will save (DC 15 + twice the bind's level, so that a fourth level spirit would have a DC 23 Will save), a druid can suppress the effects of one spirit's Nature's Sign ability.

Creatures within 60 ft. of the cylinder's origin take 10d6 fire damage from convection, but may make a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 HD + Con modifier) for half damage.
