Actually, I should have said Animist Cultures have been given a raw deal - better yet, have been under-represented. The rules have thrown up a lot more anomalies basic to the rules and characters (like the recent discussions on whether the Shamanic Circle was mundane or not, how many spirits a shaman should get, my question on spirits outside the traditions, etc) than with theists or sorcerors. I do agree, as individuals, animists can be powerful, and quite resourceful.
