Widzisz, Abishai, problem polega na tym, że "totem" nie jest czymś konkretnie zdefiniowanym w DnD, w przeciwieństwie do chociażby zaklęć, inwokacji, manewrów czy postaw.
Spiritual Totem. Totem Barbarian. Totem Totemisty. Każde z nich nazwane jest totemem.
I każde z nich reprezentuje zupełnie coś innego. Daje inne zdolności. Ciężko nazwać je tym samym. Ciężko, żeby restrykcje Totemisty odnosiły się do Totem Barbariana, chociażby. Bądź odwrotnie. A Totemista może spokojnie biegać z przynajmniej dwoma totemami
.
Totem Barbarian i Spiritual Totem mają również inny fluff. Jeden odpowiada za nadnaturalną więź ze światem duchów, drugi za przeszkolenie wynikające z plemienia z którego pochodzi barbarzyńca. Natura tych totemów jest diametralnie różna.

Barbarian Variant: Totem Barbarian
In a barbarian-heavy campaign, you can increase the variation between barbarian characters if each barbarian tribe dedicates itself to a different totem creature, such as the bear or the jaguar. The choice of a totem must be taken at 1st level, and cannot be changed later except under extreme circumstances (such as the barbarian being adopted by another tribe).
If you use this variant, the barbarian loses one or more of the following standard class features: fast movement, uncanny dodge, trap sense, and improved uncanny dodge. In place of these abilities, the barbarian gains class features as determined by his totem. All totems do not necessarily grant abilities at the same levels, nor do they all grant the same number of abilities. These class features are extraordinary abilities unless otherwise indicated.
The list of totems discussed here is by no means exhaustive. If you prefer to use other totems, you can either substitute the totem name for that of a similar creature (such as changing the Lion Totem to the Tiger Totem) or create a new set of totem abilities, using the information here as a guide.

Cytat:
Barbarians who follow a spiritual path are often tied
at some deep level to the wildlands that gave them
birth. Such characters feel a kinship with the spirits of
nature—especially animal spirits—and draw their power
from these essences. Divine barbarians are viewed with
awe and sometimes fear by their tribes, and some such
characters are considered holy people in the absence of
any organized religion.
Spiritual Totem
Choose a spiritual totem: bear, eagle, fox, lion, or wolf.
Once you do so, you are forever bound to that animal spirit.
Your connection grants you special abilities based on the
totem you have chosen (or that has chosen you, as some
see it).
The DM can add more totems to the above list as desired,
using those presented here as guidelines.
Level: 1st.
Replaces: This benefit replaces the fast movement class
feature.
Benefit: You gain one of the abilities described below,
depending on the chosen totem. Each of these effects is a
supernatural ability. |
Fluff jest zupełnie inny. Totem Barbarian to barbarzyńca który uzyskał specjalne przeszkolenie ze względu na plemię z jakiego pochodzi. Spiritual Totem to efekt więzi ze światem duchów. I nie, totemy nie są takie same.
Gdyby były takie same, dawałyby ten sam typ zdolności.
Cytat:
Extraordinary Abilities (Ex)
Extraordinary abilities are nonmagical, though they may break the laws of physics. They are not something that just anyone can do or even learn to do without extensive training.
These abilities cannot be disrupted in combat, as spells can, and they generally do not provoke attacks of opportunity. Effects or areas that negate or disrupt magic have no effect on extraordinary abilities. They are not subject to dispelling, and they function normally in an antimagic field.
Using an extraordinary ability is usually not an action because most extraordinary abilities automatically happen in a reactive fashion. Those extraordinary abilities that are actions are standard actions unless otherwise noted. |
Cytat:
Supernatural Abilities (Su)
Supernatural abilities are magical and go away in an antimagic field but are not subject to spell resistance, counterspells, or to being dispelled by dispel magic. Using a supernatural ability is a standard action unless noted otherwise. Supernatural abilities may have a use limit or be usable at will, just like spell-like abilities. However, supernatural abilities do not provoke attacks of opportunity and never require Concentration checks. Unless otherwise noted, a supernatural ability has an effective caster level equal to the creature’s Hit Dice. The saving throw (if any) against a supernatural ability is:
10 + ½ the creature’s HD + the creature’s ability modifier (usually Charisma).

Totem Barbarian to barbarzyńca którego zdolności wynikają z przeszkolenia w plemieniu, nie z czegokolwiek innego. Spiritual Totem to nadnaturalna więź, która znika w polach antymagii, jest u swoich podstaw magiczna. Naprawdę, ciężko nazwać je tym samym!
A połączenie fabularne? Jest jak najbardziej możliwe. Przykładowy koncept tak naprawdę masz już w opisie Spiritual Totem. Odmieniec, wyrzutek, który przez swój Spiritual Totem był traktowany z niechęcią i nieufnością przez swoich współplemieńców. A to tylko przykład; możliwy jest chociażby jeszcze archetypowy wojownik natury, któremu bliżej jest światu zwierząt niż ludzi. Naprawdę, możliwości jest tona, wystarczy tylko się na nie otworzyć.
