Polytheist shamans, Getting patrons in different circles... Options

[Wanderer]

The concept of a shaman or idol follower not being bound to a single archetype, but striving to fulfill a broader path and honor different spirits or divine figures at once is indeed quite fascinating, but the canon SR rules for pantheistic shamans look rather dull and uninspiring. Moreover, they do not cover the case of a mystic that does not give equal honor and attention to all spirits and gods of a tradition or pantheon, but instead follows only a small group of them, e.g. multiple different aspects of a patron god, or several different patron totems.

So I’ve concocted the following tentative rule:

Polytheist Shamans

Polytheist shamans honor and follow several different patron totems or idols. They strive to fulfill the mandates from all of their patron spirits, and they enjoy their combined blessings, to a degree. Characters may follow up to four different totems or idols (idol followers may choose five if two archetypes are very similar and both different aspects of the same god). They may receive advantages among those normally offered by their patrons to a single spell category (detection, illusion) or spirit type (forest, storm) or broader category in limited circumstances (all nature spirits in direct sunlight, resisting all damaging spells). Bonus value generally is +2, but may be +1 or +3 for some patrons. Characters may get up to five different totem advantages from their patrons, with a total of +10 advantage dice, combined. Advantages to the same spell or spirit type from different patrons do not add up, and no two advantages may be used at the same time. Once set, a combination of totem advantages cannot be changed until the next sunrise or sunset. Some polytheist magicians can get one additional totem advantage, to a total of +12 bonus dice, at the cost of being unable to change the bonus set till the next sunrise or sunset, whichever comes later. The magician manifests a disadvantage from each totem or idol they have received a bonus from. If the disadvantage is an Attribute prerequisite, the character must fulfill it, or it cannot receive a bonus from that totem/idol. If different totems or idols give disadvantages to the same spell category or spirit type, they may add up, to a maximum of -2. If they inflict the same behavioral compulsion (such as going berserk in combat, or giving up to a vice or temptation), the target number of the roll to avoid or resist the condition is raised by +1, up to a maximum of +2. The shaman must strive its very best to fulfill the ideals of every patron totem or idol, reconciling and integrating them in its behavior. They must pay heed to each of their totems’ ideals and attempt to appease all of them or suffer the loss of their powers from their totems. All patron totems or idols of a shaman must belong to the same magical tradition or pantheon. Patron totems may be similar or quite different in outlook: spirits value both focusing to explore different aspects of an ideal as well as breadth of outlook and dedication to balance and reconcile diverse archetypes. Radically irreconcilable totems or idols should not be chosen as patrons, though. The shamanic lodge must be set up in a place that constitutes a preferred environment for all of the patron totems or idols. The shamanic mask of a polytheist shaman or idol follower always shows elements from each patron. Astral quests of polytheist shamans must involve as many different shamanic metaplanes as they have patrons (to a maximum of four).
