Owl Totem actually gets really gross when the shaman begins to initiate.
If you run a player with an Owl Totem who knows *anything* about the rules
for Shadowrun, be prepared to force them into lots of situations during
the daytime because they become unstoppable at night.

I haven't researched the topic of the Owl that much but I do have
the Grimoire in front of me and it says that "For purposes of game balance,
however, it is probably best if the Centering Skills are NOT ones of great
use in non-magical areas." This is then refers to shooting a gun as an
example. This is on p.23 under CHOOSING CENTERING SKILLS.
What I suggest for Armed and Unarmed combat skills as centering
skills is that it can be done but that the skill can not be used to attack
with as it would cause to many distractions. Practicing a form or kata for
purposes of concentration is quite a bit different than actual combat.
