How does everyone run totems in their games? In my game they are not
exactly a single spirit but more of a collection of spirits working
together. They never manifest to any one but a shaman of that totem and
they are very subtle in what they do. They choose their shamans carefully.
A totem will never manifest as a specific spirit only as the totem itself.
All totems grow in strength as more shamans of that type exist but this
never spills into gaming. They are a cross between a way of life and god.

I make each of my shamans come up with a character history in which they
found or were chosen by the totem.
