Nature Sense (Ex)
A druid gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks.

Vermin Empathy (Su)
A blight druid can improve the attitude of vermin as a normal druid can with animals. Vermin have a starting attitude of unfriendly. The blight druid can also improve the attitude of animals and mindless undead creatures that were formerly animals, but she takes a –4 penalty on the check unless the animal or undead has a disease special attack.

Woodland Stride (Ex)
Starting at 2nd level, a druid may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect her.

Familiar: Cockroach (“Mucky”)

Climb +3, Fly +4
Hold breath 30 rds 

  Skills: whichever ranks are better. Familiars treat Acrobatics, Climb, Fly, Perception, Stealth, and Swim as class skills.
  +1 natural armor 
  Alertness: You get a +2 bonus on Perception and Sense Motive skill checks, when Mucky is within arm’s reach 
  improved evasion: When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a familiar takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.
  share spells: may cast a spell with a target of “You” on his familiar (as a touch spell) instead of on himself. 
  empathic link: 1 mile distance. The master can communicate empathically with the familiar, but cannot see through its eyes. Because of the link’s limited nature, only general emotions can be shared.

Background:
  Variola grew up on a farm near a swamp. The plague came when she was twelve, and she and her family took ill. Out of desperation, she prayed to the Pox Queen, offering her service in exchange for sparing their lives. 
  The next morning, she was the picture of health, but her family was still ravaged by disease. At first, they thought it was a miracle, but after they recovered, she confessed what she had done. “You should have let us die!”, her father said bitterly. “Better than being tainted by *her*!” They disowned her, and she went off into the swamp alone.
  She wasn’t alone for long, however. The Sickener sent her a companion, a cockroach who taught her the ways of vermin, which she named Mucky. Her foul patron showed her the paths of life and death, and the beauty of what lied between them. Years later, she emerged from the swamp, filthy without and twisted within, ready to spread the good word (among other things).
  
Personality: Variola is fascinated by disease and decay. She doesn’t try to make people sick (that would be evil), but she does sing the praises of the Pox Queen as a healer and protector. 

Appearance: Variola is a human woman in her early 20’s, with medium brown hair in a rough shag, and piercing green eyes. Despite her obvious lack of hygiene and teeth, there’s something compelling about her. She wears layers of patchwork leather armor, holds a light spear as a staff, and has a wooden shield slung over her back. A cockroach crawls freely over her, which she occasionally acknowledges. 

Motivation
Key: Duty (spread the word about the Pox Queen)
Important: Fame (spite her family), Wanderlust (see the world beyond the swamp)
Maybe: Gear (big mojo), Improvement (learn more about life, death, and how to make them happen), Curiosity (unlocking secrets)
