Totems of Cunning

Fox

Background Cost: 7
Fox skulks slyly through the underbrush, merrily spreading confusion among his enemies. His favorite trick is to pull his enemies into his confidence and then lead them into a cleverly conceived trap. Fox is especially happy if the trap teaches his foe a lesson at the same time.
Traits
To help his children baffle and confuse their enemies, Fox teaches Stealth 2, Subterfuge 3 and Streetwise 2. He also grants each of his children a point in Manipulation.
Ban
The only limitation Fox gives his children is that they must never participate in a fox hunt and, if possible, always help any foxes encountered during such a hunt. However, Fox's children are viewed as untrustworthy, and they receive one temporary Honor less from any Honor awards.

Goat

Background Cost: 5
Wily and voracious, Goat is an excellent debater and can survive on nearly anything. Also, his horns and powerful feet can show the most stubborn opponents the light. Goat teaches his children how to pursue a point to its end, no matter what the cost. He isn't above using dirty tricks to get his way, either.
Traits
Goat gives his children +2 Subterfuge and +2 Survival. His Children make all Willpower rolls at -1 difficulty.
Ban
Goat's children must always eat what is offered to them.

Moodai the Brush-tail Possum

Background Cost: 4
Moodai the Possum is an urban totem followed by many Bonegnawers. A nimble and cautious spirit, Moodai adapts well to any environment, as do his Children. The Children of Moodai, though not respected, are often called upon to perform tasks unsuited to other Garou.
Traits
Moodai teaches his Children Stealth 3 and Survival 3. His Children also become adept climbers, subtracting three from the difficulties of all climbing actions.
Ban
Children of Moodai must leave fruit and other food for the many possums that forage in city parks. They must also never remove possums from ceilings, no matter how noisy they become while playing.

Racoon

Background Cost: 5
Racoon is a survivor. He lives anywhere, city or wilderness, and adapts as he sees fit. He prefers to be left to his own devices but becomes a fierce and cunning fighter when cornered.
Traits
Racoon teaches his children +2 Stealth and +3 Survival. They gain an extra die of Brawl during any claw or swipe attack.
Ban
Racoon asks his children to leave small, shiny objects in the forest for him to find.

Roadrunner

Background Cost: 3
Preternaturally quick, Roadrunner relies on her speed to carry her far from danger. Rapidity of movement implies an equal fleetness of mind, so Roadrunner embodies the ability to think quckly and to change course in midstream without a mistep.
Traits
Roadrunner grants her followers an additional dot in Intelligence, as well as a +1 to all Enigma's rolls.
Ban
Roadrunner forbids her children to hunt roadrunners. She also asks that her follower protect desert habitats.

Tulu the Kookaburra

Background Cost: 7
A staunch foe of the Wyrm, Tulu is always in good humour, laughing in the face of death. Tulu is an intelligent warrior, and swoops down on his prey, breaking their backs with a flick of his powerful beak. His manic laughter echoes across the Dreamtime. Tulu is sometimes called the Father of the Bunyip, for it was he who spilt the Rainbow Serpent's blood, from which the Bunyip were formed.
Traits
Children of Tulu have an irrepressible sense of humour and never suffer Harano. Tulu teaches his Children Subterfuge 3 and the Gift: Laughter
Ban
Children of Tulu must kill any snake they see, symbolic of their battle against the Wyrm. The exception to this rule is any servant of the Rainbow Serpent.

Urburra the Magpie

Background Cost: 5
Inquisitive and playful, Urbura is also somewhat territorial. He fights the Wyrm like his stauch cousin Tulu, but tends towards more strike-and-flee tactics, taunting his enemy and leading them into mistakes. Urburra's voice rings out through the Umbra, warning others of the approach of his children - his mortal children are renowned for their beautiful warbling calls at dawn and during the day. However, Urbura has a slightly sullied reputation due to his sometimes less than honourable behaviour.
Traits
Children of Urburra are taught the Gifts Call of the Wyld and Distractions
Ban
Children of Tulu must always protect young and females. They also receive one less Honour whenever receiving an Honour award due to the nature of their totem.
