Under game mechanics, absolutely NOTHING in our game. It all
centers around Role-Play. Where does a Physical Adept derive his
power from? Ask a Normal P.A. and it is training, exercise,
blah-blah-blah. This is in my view the scientific 'hermetic'
view. Ask a Shamanic P.A. where it comes from and it is the
totemic guide. "I have the power to strike a man Dead with
this mortal flesh thanks to the blessings of Wolf... for I am
a hunter and one of his pack" type stuff. The shamanic would
most likely play under the same penalties as the a shaman;
Wolf- wins ever fight but his last...

It can get real hard for some totems, but it all centers around
role play... the totems never really contact them (or do they?)
nor do them manifest shamanic masks (or do they?).

It is harmless enough and promotes role-play. That is our real
reasoning behind Shamanic Physical Adepts.

One last thing.... NEVER-EVER piss of a Shark Physical Adept with
a Nasty Weapon Foci... it gets *real* messy. :)
