He now shapechanges into a full blue bear when going into battle, which is quite often, and solves a lot of problems with claw slashes to the roar of HARREK IS GREAT (before changing to bear form, of course). In my Glorantha, the Bear Totem includes all Bear Spirits : Mighty Roar, Strength of the Bear, Spirit-Ripping Claws, etc.

But should I give this as part of the Bear Totem keyword at 13M, which would make him VERY powerful, or at 13 for 1 HP ? Or somewhere in the middle ?

Seems to me that Licking Wounds would not be super effective, per the rules about Heal Hurt vs Prevent Dying.
Besides, if this is an animist, doesn't he need to find a Lick Wounds Spirit? Who says it would be 13M?
