Just like the topic states, in MITS pg 162, the Totem/Idol "Wise Warrior" says...
| QUOTE |
| Shamans of this Idol must follow the warrior's code of honor and conduct themselves properly or risk the loss of favor. |
I've done some reading in MITS and found "The Path of the Warrior" on pg 20, but that's talking about the Elves of Tir na nOg and Hermetic magic, not Shamanic. I also found the "Warrior's Way" on pg 22, but that's an Adept path.
Is this a set of rules printed somewhere? Is it something determined by the GM and Player? Is it just saying that the Shaman must act honorably in all situations? Am I totally missing something somewhere?

I don't think they intended for you to have to reference any cannon warrior code. Just looking back at some of the great races of warriors throughout time you can aquire a feel for how a wise-warrior should be played.
-Spartans
-Samurai
-Knights
*This is just my opinion, but a wise-warrior shaman should always seek to conduct himself in an honorable manner.
Also, the wise-warrior totem is heavily influenced by the ancient greek goddess Athena. This is listed in either SOTA 2064 or SoE, I can't recall at the moment.

I think you just need to decide what god the shaman's "Wise Warrior" represents and have your GM agree to an interprtation of a code of conduct that best suits that idol. Tyr and Oden are good examples of Wise Warrior types as is Shiva.

Makes sense. I'll look through SOTA:2064, but I don't have Shadows of Europe.
I shouldn't have too much trouble playing the honorable part of the totem, I was just curious if they wrote specific things that needed to be followed.

I know that I may not be able to explain my thoughts on the warrior code very well. However the character I am currently playing in
Living in the Shadows is a wise-warrior shaman.

I'll believe that when I see it.

SOTA2064. We made a list of suitable Idols to go with some pagan gods. Take note that it doesn't have to be a god, it might just be your shaman's spiritual Idol taken from the latest trid sci-fi series.
