The sky druid is an archetype of the druid class, available only to sylph druids.

Archetype Main Ability Scores:
The sky druid mainly focuses on STR/DEX for combat, CHA for their class features, and WIS for their class features and spells.

Nature Bond (Ex)

At 1st level, a sky druid who chooses an animal companion must select one with a fly speed. If choosing a domain, the sky druid must choose from the Air, Animal, Liberation, and Weather domains.

This ability modifies nature bond.

Sky’s Embrace (Su)

This ability replaces woodland stride.

Resist Storm (Ex)

At 4th level, a sky druid gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities with the elemental (wind), elemental (lightning) descriptors, or deals wind or lightning damage and against effects that control or modify the weather.

This ability replaces resist nature’s lure.

Wild Shape (Su)

At 5th level, a sky druid gains the ability to use wild shape. When a sky druid takes the form of a creature with a fly speed, this ability functions at her druid level + 1. For all other forms, she uses her normal druid level.
