Werewolf Totem Spirits

Each garou can have up to three totems, a personal totem, a pack totem, and a sept totem.  These totems have the following limitations:
1)  The greater brood incarnae may not be taken as personal totems by anyone less than rank four.  They may not be taken as sept totems for any sept that does not have a majority of members who are in the brood of that totem and they may not be taken as pack totems by any pack that does not have a majority of members who are of that brood.
2)  The greater cardinal (aka elemental) incarnae may not be taken as personal totems by anyone less than rank four.  They may not be taken as sept totems for any sept that does not have a majority of members who are of the appropriate essence and they may not be taken as pack totems for any pack that does not have a majority of members who are of the appropriate essence.
3)  Your personal totem must be one for which you have completed its renown quest.  No exceptions.
4)  Each totem grants a particular ability to garou that have it.  Personal totems grant a minor but notable ability, typically on par with a level three vampire discipline.  Pack totems generally grant each member of the pack the ability to grant some benefit to some other member of the pack.  Sept totems often grant significant abilities, usually on par with a level four vampire discipline or a level five vampire thaumaturgical ritual, but only when the werewolf is within the boundaries of the sept.  The totems of the greater incarnae grant abilities that are notably more powerful.
5)  Each sept may only have one totem.
6)  Each pack may have only one totem.  Due to laws of spirit interaction agreed upon by the Maeljin Incarnae, two packs within a sept may not have the same totem.
7)  Garou with no wolf may be part of sept and pack, thus gaining the grace of a totem, even if they cannot access other werewolf powers.  It is extremely rare, but these kinfolk may also have a personal totem as well.
8)  A garou who violates the bans of one of their totems loses that totem's benefits.  To regain these powers, the werewolf must do pennance (typically a quest on par with those to gain rank/renown, only with no rank benefit.)  After the quest is completed, the werewolf's power will return on the next full moon.
9)  A personal totem will never manifest.
10)  Pack totems manifest at the cost of one gnosis spent by each pack member in unison (spent on the same round.)  Use the appropriate totem's pack stat block to determine abilities.  Pack totems must remain within sight (the spirit's sight) of at least one member of the pack at all times.
11)  Sept totems manifest at the cost of one gnosis spent per each sept member, all spent in one round.  This gnosis may be spent by any combination of members of the sept.
12)  Sept totems may not leave the sept.
13)  The rite dedicating a sept totem causes that totem to be the spirit of that caern/node.
14)  Dedication of a totem has a permanent cost.  Please see the following table:

* Personal, lesser:  One permanent Rage
* Personal, greater:  One permanent Rage and Willpower
* Pack, lesser:  One permanent Gnosis
* Pack, greater:  One permanent Gnosis, Rage, and Willpower
* Sept, lesser:  One permanent Willpower*
* Sept, greater:  One permanent Gnosis and Willpower*

**This cost does not need to be paid by any member of the sept that does not leave the caern.  Leaving the caern will sever the connection to the totem, and the sept member will need to be rededicated.

15)  A pack can have no less than three and no more than seven members.  The rite to form a pack cannot be performed with less than three people (although one will still get the benefits of the totem if membership is brought back up if reduced below three) and cannot be performed if there are already seven members.  The rite to bond a pack totem requires at least one person in the pack to have the totem in question as a personal totem.
16)  A Sept can only support ten times the rating of the caern at its heart in werewolves.  Dedicating the sept to a particular totem requires that at least one person in the sept have the totem in question as a personal totem.
