I have an idea for a character who uses the dual affiliation to be a trained progenitor who is becoming a dreamspeaker (seeing themselves as the ultimate medicine worker). I would like them to have the Totem merit as well, with the Raven Totem.
The problem with that is I am having trouble figuring out how they would afford to do scientific research (or even have a lab) with Raven's ban. Does anyone here have any thoughts on how to make it work? I'm wanting to make a bio technoshaman sort of character who tries to reform the progenitors from within (and if that fails, bring spirit magic or at least a sense of wonder into the public consensus).
Edit: Here is Raven's ban as per the Mage20 Book of Secrets: Bans: Raven-people aren’t expected to place much stock in earthly goods, properties or concerns. Wealth is to be avoided unless it involves knowledge, secrets, or shiny things.
