Environment:
RIVERS, LAKES

Advantages:

* +3d RIVER and LAKE spirits

Character:
Turtle is wise but slow, small but well-protected. Turtle shamans are very quite and introverted, and they take everything at the same leisurely pace. But some are snappers, and can bite you pretty bad (metaphorically speaking) if you push them too far. Most Turtle shamans are low in all the physical areas but fairly high in the mental ones.

Disadvantages:
Slooooow. Also, Turtle’s dislike (or inability) for social interaction creates problems when information-gathering is the task at hand (+1 penalty on any Etiquette and Negotiation types of tests). Finally, when confronted with trouble, Turtle’s first response is usually to pull into the shell and ignore it– his shamans are into escapism, be it through drugs, booze, simsense, or just normal vid.
