I read that thread.

Barbarian, Lesser Spirit Totem: Who decides who the spirits attack, and what effects affect the spirits?

The barbarian decides who the spirits attack each round. The spirits are not affected by effects that aid their attacks or damage (such as bardic performance or bless) or penalize their attacks or damage (such as bane or darkness). The spirits always strike from your direction. They do not get flanking bonuses or help a combatant get one.

Thanks PDT!

Now, there is a FAQ!

It is good to have the FAQ, it is bad that there is just another reason to prefer the beast totem chain.

EDIT: to be fair I suppose it would be the easiest way to rule, it does not increase the bookeeping.

Well, you can fight defensively, and be using Combat Expertise, and it will not effect the Spirits attack roll.
