Listening to this again last night, it occurred to me that it was never brought up that one weakness of the Shaman is that many of the Hexes are very dependent on having a decent Charisma score. For many of the hexes, Charisma effects their duration or number of daily uses. This can really take a bite out of how many points you have left for your other ability scores, so I think it is kind of hard to make a melee Shaman, even though some of the Spirits (like Mammoth) encourage that kind of play.
