Totem Warrior (Rogue/Warrior)

While tribal warriors are renowned for their ferocity and experience, Totem Warriors pursue even greater skill by channeling the atavistic power of natural spirits. Embracing a strong spiritual connection to a particular animal, you use rituals and ancient training to help you channel the animal’s power through your body. This not only adds to your capabilities in combat but strengthens your mystic connection to the animal itself.
