 You have formed a bond with a powerful spirit of the natural world, and can call it to your aid.  Summoning this spirit can inflict a toll on your body, but grants you considerable advantage in combat.
-When you select this feature, choose one of the following types of Avatar:  Beast, Elemental or Plant.  This influences the sort of damage your Avatar inflicts in battle, but it primarily determines its appearance and can limit its choices of upgrades in the future.
+When you select this feature, choose one of the following types of Avatar:  Beast, Bird, Elemental or Plant.  If you choose Elemental, you must also choose Fire, Earth, Air or Water.  Each type of Avatar is listed below.
-As a three-second action in battle, you may summon your Avatar.  This requires that you spend one Recovery, but you gain 2d6 temporary stamina, plus an amount equal to your Foresight attribute.  Your Avatar appears in a square adjacent to you.  All of its defences are equal to your Foresight defence, and it uses your Nature skill to make attacks.
+As a three-second action in battle, you may manifest your Avatar.  This requires that you spend one Recovery, but you gain 2d6 temporary stamina, plus an amount equal to your Foresight attribute.  Your Avatar appears in a square adjacent to you.  All of its defences are equal to your Foresight defence, and it uses your Nature skill to make attacks.
-Avatar Unarmed Strike:  Nature vs Agility
+Your Avatar acts on your turn, using your pool of time to take its actions.  However, to compensate for this, you receive two additional seconds each turn.  Neither you nor your Avatar may perform actions whose total time exceeds the usual six seconds per turn.  Your Avatar can take any movement action---[[unbound:actions:charge|Charge]], [[unbound:actions:Step]], [[unbound:actions:Walk]], [[unbound:actions:Run]] or [[unbound:actions:Sprint]]---or it can take the basic unarmed strike, below, as a two-second action.
+Avatar Unarmed Strike:  2 seconds, Nature vs Agility
   * **Hit**:  2[W] + Foresight damage.  Increases to 3[W] at Level 3, and to 4[W] at Level 5.
   * **Miss**:  1[W] + Foresight damage.
-Its basic melee attack damage depends on its type.  Beast Avatars inflict d8 of either either Slashing or Impaling damage.  Elemental Avatars inflict d8 Blunt damage, or (for Fire Elementals) d6 Heat damage.  Plant Avatars inflict d8 of either Blunt or Impaling damage.  Any choices regarding damage are made when you select this feature, and cannot be changed.
 Your Avatar shares your stamina pool;  whenever it is struck for damage, you take the damage in its place!  When your stamina is depleted, the Avatar vanishes.  However, damage inflicted to your Avatar //never// becomes hit points of damage.
