'''Class Skills ([[Skill Points::4]] + [[SRD:Constitution|Con]] modifier per level)'''<br/>
{{Property Link|Skill|SRD:Autohypnosis Skill|Autohypnosis}} ([[SRD:Wisdom|Wis]]),
''Natural Armor Bonus {{Ex}}:'' An apexs gain natural armor in all forms, providing them with +2 natural armor bonus. At 3rd & every two levels after, this bonus increases by +2, but only in animal form (max +10 animal, +2 non-animal).
''Sense {{Ex}}:'' At 2nd level, an apex gains the [[SRD:Scent|scent]] ability & [[SRD:Track|Track]] featfeats.
''Animal Call {{Su}}:'' At 2nd level, an apex can call for an animal ally (treat like ''[[SRD:Summon Nature's Ally III|summon nature's ally III]]'') 2/day. At 5th level, this improves to ''[[SRD:Summon Nature's Ally IV|summon nature's ally IV]]''and 3/day, and ''[[SRD:Summon Nature's Ally V|summon nature's ally V]]'' at 9th8th.
''Savage Speed {{Ex}}:'' At 3rd level, an apex gains a +10’ increase to their his base land speed, a climb speed of 20’, & a Swim speed of 30’. At 7th level, he gets another +10' bonus to one selected speed.
''Wild Weapon {{Su}}:'' At 4th, 6th & 8th levels, an apex gains a +3 [[SRD:Magic Weapons#Table: Melee Weapon Special Abilities|weapon special ability]] natural attack. This can only be applied to natural attacks (i.e., bite, claw, fist).
If an apex already had rage from another source, he acquires a [[Fury (3.5e Feat Type)|fury]] bonus feat at 1st level instead. However, this does not stack with rages from other sources (i.e., all 1st level apexs can only rage twice per day).
'''{{Anchor|Animal Form}} {{Su}}:''' At 2nd level, an apex selects '''one''' animal form, this is his “primal form”. This animal form must be of equal size to the base creatures size, Hit Dice can’t exceed the apex’s HD, and must have a natural weapon attack. The apex can only change into this type of animal. An apex can change as a standard action (it takes a standard action to change back, voluntarily or otherwise). This functions similarly to the druid's [[SRD:Alternate_Form|wild shape]] ability. In animal form, apexs gain a primary claw attack, dealing 1d6+Str modifier in damage, & secondary bite attack 1d8+Str modifier. On a full attack action, apexs can make two claw attacks & a bite attack, following all normal rules for multiple natural attacks.
An apex can maintain this change for a number of rounds per day equal to his newly increased Constitution modifier +3 (see below). At 4th level & every 2 level beyond, an apex can maintain his shapechange for an additional 3 rounds. The rounds do not have to be consecutive. The apex gains the [[SRD:Shapechanger_Subtype|shapechanger subtype]].
Should an apex select an animal with uncommon natural attacks (i.e., snake or octopus), one type of attack is 1d6+Str and another is +1d8+Str.
''Stat Increases {{Ex}}:'' An apex, while in animal form, gain a +2Str & +2Con. At 5th 6th level, apexs get an apex gets an additional +2Str & +2Con. All only applies while in animal form.
''Enlarged Form {{Su}}:'' At 4th level, apexs can assume the forms of an animal apex’s primal form increases to one size larger than their his base form. This size increase grants a +2 Str & Con; but -2 Dex, -1 AC/attack rolls & -4 [[SRD:Hide|hide]] penalties; also grants +5' of reach. The apex's natural weapons in animal forms gain one size increase to their damage die. An apex only applies this to their his primary form (not later secondary form).
''Improved Grab {{Ex}}:'' At 5th level, if an apex in animal form hits with a claw or bite attack, they deal normal damage & can attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
''Second Animal Form {{Su}}:'' At 6th level, an apex can select one more animal form to become (with the same requirements, but cannot be larger than base form). A An apex can change from his natural form to an animal form or animal form to animal form.
''Monstrous Form {{Su}}:'' At 8th level, an apex can select one [[SRD:Monstrous Humanoid Type|monstrous]] form to become (with the same requirements). Type
''Huge Third Form {{Su}}:'' At 10th level, an apex can select a third animal or monstrous humanoid the apex’s primal form increases to become. An apexs can assume the forms of an animal two size larger than their his base form. An apex cannot select a creature with Hit Dice five or more than the apex’s HD; yet the apex’s HD does not change. This size increase grants a +4 Str & Con; but -4 Dex, -2 AC/attack rolls & -8 [[SRD:Hide|hide]] penalties; also grants +10' of reach. The apex's natural weapons in animal forms gain two size increase to their damage die.
'''Bonus Feat:''' At 3rd & every two levels there after, an apex receives a [[Fiend (3.5e Feat Type)|fiend]], [[Fury (3.5e Feat Type)|fury]] or [[SRD:Monstrous Feats|monstrous]] bonus feat that he meets the prerequisites for.
===Ex-Apexs===
If an apex becomes a pacifist or grants mercy to an enemy they lose carnal nature & rage abilities (including fury feats). He retains all the other benefits of the class. An apex can [[SRD: Atonement|atone]] by killing a random creature unprovoked.
