Totemists rely on binding with totem spirits to give them supernatural powers. Braves are warriors that use totems to make them excell in combat. Shamans are healers that use totems to grant them a variety of magical abilities. Tricksters are skillful manipulators that use totems to help them in their schemes. All Totemists have access to the same totem spirits; these spirits grant different abilities to the different totemist classes based on their nature. Multi-classed Totemist stack their different class levels for the caster level of their totem spirit abilities.
There are three categories of totem spirits: ancestral, animal, and elemental. Ancestral Totems represent idealized heroes from history. Animal Totems represent the many faces of the wild creatures. Elemental Totems represent the impersonal forces of nature.
Certain, rare, combinations of totems will occur after 8th level. These will be described in Mingled Spirit feats. Examples are the Berserker (Ursine animal totem and Savage ancestral totem), the Phoenix (Raptor animal totem and Sun elemental totem), and Mother Earth (Medicine Woman ancestor spirit with Stone elemental totem).
There will also need to be Prestige Classes designed for Brave/Shamans, Brave/Tricksters, and Shaman/Tricksters, with good Fortitude and Will, Fortitude and Reflex, and Reflex and Will saves, respectively.

I've often desired to create a pre-Columbian native american setting. I like these class ideas of yours, all of them. I'd have never have given the brave a totem connection, as in the way you do above, but your way really makes sense!
<Forgive, this threadjack> you like to build unique classes and give interesting idea twists in them, I like that. Since I'm busier than Hell, in various publication projects, development on my Iron Age Celtic setting is slow. I need to develop two Prestige Classes for the setting. While I might go a completely different direction on them, I'd love to see your take on the ideas of these two PrC ideas I need to develop.
Myrrdin - the Tattooist Wizard. I'm starting to look at the base wizard as a runemaster carving spells in wood, stone or metal. The Myrrdin is a prestige class that takes the runemastery combined with arcane knotwork knowledge and apply them as permanent tattoo enchantments on recipients including himself - a kind of artificer in ink. Make him a five or ten level PrC and go with your own ideas.
Greater Fey Witch (?) - needs a better name. A Celtic Witch is an arcane spell caster whose magic involves both trafficking with and reliant on fey arcane sources for all her magic, including her familiar, though in all other ways follows the APG Witch class. The Greater Fey Witch (?) has evolved/transformed into a kind of fey being herself her magic should be much more primal, yet by its essence very "Fey". Casting should be a unique series of at will spell-like powers no more than five and could be a 5 level PrC.
Again, sorry for the threadjack - just thought my challenge could be an interesting experiment for you. <End Threadjack>
I know your Totemic classes aren't just for Native Americans, but that's the first thought in my head!

It sounds like the Tattoo Wizard might just need to use Arcane Mark and Permanency, and possibly an Item Creation feat, and Tattoo the subject on an area of the body that normally takes up a "slot" and give it the benefits of a magic item. It would cost the same as the magic item, with maybe a 5% reduction in cost per level of Tattoo Wizard. An arcane tattoo could be removed using Erase, but would also require a CL check with a DC equal to the Tattoo Wizard's caster level.
The greater fey witch might require the witch to make a pact with a supernatural being in order to gain power. In game terms, the GFW would get a spell-like or supernatural ability, or possibly the service of an entity or a one-time high level spell or magical effect, but would have to take a penalty, like a permanent penalty to Saving Throws, AC, hit points, ability scores, spell slots, blindness, deafness, muteness, sanity, a curse, etc.
There should probably be a rule for making a good pact and poor pact, with the cost or penalty of the good pact being less than the cost or penalty of the poor pact. Possibly, the GFW could get someone else to pay the cost for her. Under dire circumstances, there might even be human sacrifice involved.
The level of the service might be tied to class level, or class level might be used to reduce the penalty. A low level GFW might have to trade the life of a loved one to raise a dead comrade, but a high level GFW might only lose a finger....and possibly not even hers, but the raised one's.
Thanks, SmiloDan! I'll see what I can do with these.
Regarding your Animal Totems and your Brave class. I would think animal, Pony could fall in somewhere in there as a totemic animal, riding and warhorse as might be found in plains regions, like the Lakota, Blackfoot or Cheyenne.

Cool!
One of the neat aspects of my totemist classes (I think), is that all 3 classes use the same totems, but get different benefits from them. For example, The Forest totem grants the Brave a natural bonus to AC and DR/slashing, and a really big stick to whack foes with. The Forest grants the Shaman the ability to feed his allies, make friends with the creatures of the forest, and eventually turn into one. The Forest gives the Trickster the ability to confound his enemies by having the undergrowth hinder their movement, as well as giving the Trickster to move speedily through the woods.
And eventually, shaman and tricksters get the low-level brave abilities, the shaman and brave get the low-level trickster abilities, and the brave and trickster get the low-level shaman abilities.
This system also opens up some interesting multi-class combinations, even (or especially) between the totemist classes.
So the Pony totem would also have to provide some nifty features for the Shaman and Trickster in addition to the Brave. I can see the Pony Totem granting Mounted Combat bonuses to the Brave, maybe swiftness of foot to the Trickster, but I'm having trouble thinking of an ability to give the Shaman. Maybe the ability to be "ridden" like a horse, by various spirits and such? But that's kind of what the whole totemist class system is based on. Hmmm.... Horse sense?
Nice twist on incarnum. I like it!
Consider this stolen!

The post monster ate my post!!!!!
Basically, it dealt with the FREQUENCY of the totem powers. Should they be once every 5 rounds, once every 3 rounds, once every 1d4 rounds, recharge on 1, 1-2, and/or 1-3 on a d6, etc. etc. ????
1/3 works for me
And it kind of jives with the totem binder theme. 3 base classes (brave, shaman, trickster), 3 kinds of totems (ancestral, animal, and elemental), and eventually you can bind 3 totems at once.

Yeah, Counting Coupe isn't my favorite power, but I wanted something relatively easy mechanically that gave a minor boost to combat. And it fits the flavor.

Or better yet paizo should put out a book compiling the best fan stuff like these classes
I'll probably work on a Spider/Anansi totem next. It will have spidery powers (spider climb, web, poison, tremorsense) and also deal with aspects of the weaver of fate (moment of prescience, augury, divination, etc.), and possibly an obsession with scissors.... ;-)

GP
Dolphin was next on my short list, but I like the addition of whales. Too bad I just statted out the Kongoidization of getting to Colossal size for the Primate.
Maybe have the Primate Biggy be Fortitude based and the Cetacean Biggy be Reflex based? I don't see a lot of Reflex, Trickster-class stuff for the whales, so maybe becoming Whale-sized will do the trick?
EDIT: I can see whale song as being "telepathic" communication with anyone touching the water. Maybe spells like message, sending, helping hand, etc. Definitely blindsense (and Blindfight), and possibly blindsight at high levels. Maybe some DR/slashing for the blubber? Or would DR/slashing or piercing be better? Did harpoons really hurt the whales, or just stick in them for better slaughter? I'm out of touch with my friends who are friends with subsistence whalers in Indonesia....

Okay you have to do air and lighting separate so we can get father sky and thunderbird who would both be triple spirits. As for ancestor totems you would need medicine man/woman, he who brought back fire a shaman ancestor who was in visited the gods to beg for help for the ppl, trickster so we can make coyote call him loki or shadow man, also I think that ravens should get a knoweldge power like bardic knoweldge but that's viking lore sorry maybe a brave totem named red hands a warrior who took more coupe than anyone else and grew pridefull enough to challenge the gods so the cursed him with madness so him and bear lead to beserker???

Awesome ideas!
I was going to just do a generic Savage, then combine him with Ursine to make the Berserker. I really like the Red Hands idea better.
I was going to do a Storm elemental. Maybe a Sky or Cloud one too. Then combine them with Corvidae or Raptor for the Thunderbird.
I also want to do a Phoenix combo, mixing Corvidae or Raptor with Sun or Volcano.
I also want to make a Rainbow elemental, and combine it with the Serpent for the Rainbow Snake.
I really like the Bardic Knowledge added to the Corvidae. Definitely fits the flavor I'm going for, which is a more global system of spirits, rather than focusing only on Native American ones.
I'm going to make a Witch Doctor that curses and raises undead, and a Medicine Man who does cures and removes effects.
