I've based this as best I can on a real wolf spider.

Characteristics: The totem is a nomad. He has no web. He is a hunter of
insects. He is a warrior, but not always one of honor. His favorite attack
is one of suprise. He is quick, pecise, and always deadly.

Favored Eniv.: Everywhere there are incest spirits. (Can be Urban or
Wilderness totem.)

Advantages: +2 dice for combat spells, +2 dices for banishing against insect
spirits.

Disadvatanges: Has beserking. (as per wolf totem) He prefers dark places. +2
modifier to target number for any test when out in open spaces away from
shelter. However this modifier does not apply when in combet with an incest
spirit.


Any Good?

OK OK. It's insect spirits. Give me a break. One typo and you get all the
comments in the world. You never did say if you liked the idea though. With
insect spirits...not incest spirits. You family is your own thing. :)

Ayaya! Que Lastima! I was thinking of responding to that, but it seemed a
bit to crass for my tastes. Oh well, incest, inSeCt, what's the
difference? :)

Interesting idea, really, although as a GM I'm reluctant to have insect
shaman characters. They're so different, their thought patterns are so
non-human that I find it hard to believe that anyone could do a good job
roleplaying it. If someone did, I'd be very, very worried....

Those damnable incest spirits, always trying to pervert good honest
shadowrunners! Maybe wolf spider shamans should kill their siblings for
prevention! :)

You may wish to remove the ansi codes from your sig... they look
rather ugly to those of us (any windows user plus any dos user w/out
ansi.sys loaded, I dunno about unix, etc) whose mailers do not
interpret them... :)
