Editing Ratskins (section)

===Totem Warriors===
The Totem Warriors are those amongst the ratskins who seek to purify themselves in the sight of the hive spirits. For this they are revered by the badskins as well as the more peaceful ratskin peoples. They are seen as wandering warrior-pilgrims who spend their time on quests or in prayer-trances to the spirits of the hive.

In their devotion to the spirits, the totem warriors believe that by slaying an opponent in close combat, they can absorb their enemy's soul, thereby avoiding the spiritual vengeance of their opponents as well as adding to their own power.

While Totem Warriors eschew ranged combat in all cases, their purification rituals and superstitions do invest themselves in their melee weaponry. When in the hands of the totem warriors they can [[Force weapon|inflict damage far beyond that of their normal type]]. Like the Shamanic powers, the totem Weapons are infused with the power of "spirits of the hive" ''(sounds like how [[Space Wolves]] view their psychic powers)''
