Class Features
All the following are class features of the Dustborn class.

• Dustform Wild Shape (Su): At 1st level, the Dustborn gains the ability to change into a large animal. At 3rd, a tiny animal. At 5th, plants. At 7th, huge animals. At 8th, small, medium, and large elementals. At 10th, huge elementals. When the Dustborn gains the ability to Wild Shape into Plants or Elementals, he applies the Dustform changes to those creatures as well. At 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th levels he gains two uses of his Dustform Wild Shape, with each use lasting for one hour. At 10th level, he can use Dustform Wild Shape at will for any duration he chooses.
  Dustform Feat (Ex): At every even level, the Dustborn chooses either Dustcrafter or a feat which has Dustcrafter as a prequisite as a bonus feat. The benefits of these feats apply only to himself when he is in his Dustform Wild Shape.
  Desiccation Born (Ex): If a dustborn touches the corpse of a creature slain by desiccation damage, the dustborn can expend a use of his Dustform Wild Shape to turn into a dustform version of that creature. Regardless of other abilities he might have, the transformation lasts only one hour.
