Slips in with beverages and delights from her tea trolley.<br/><br/>In my opinion the end times often makes strange bedfellows for garou. With them being a dying race they are not always able to be so picky. As they are pack animals,  lone wolves at some point also crave and need the security of said pack. Things like loosing a pack or some of a pack break down can cause them to find solice else where. That sort of thing. Not all packs can or do remain together for ever for whatever reason.<br/><br/>As for the rite of totem I usually though to is not a hard and fast rule make some suggestions for the players and let them discuss what they would like a sort of joint choice. Again I dont make them put points in totem its like a freebee, if nothing else it stops possible sulking on who put more points in the background. That said I usually have it that the totem chooses the pack in a lovely ritual.<br/><br/>Thats just my thoughts on the matter.
