Dunno about it being canon or not, but I have a PA in my game that
follows a totem (Dog), and for his role-playing the disads of the totem,
I allow some limited benefits to accrue from it. Wondering if I opened
a can of worms, however, cause now he is wondering if there is any way
he can use Initiation Magic points to ever become a full blown Shaman as
well. I was considering a Shamanic Adept because he is not one to
munchkinize things...
