Question 1: Do all (N)PC furies gain their powers from primal (or divine) spirits?
The text makes me think the answer is no. In the Campaign Setting it says on page 98 that, "Some furies are simply common folk, possessing a wild fighting spirit with little in the way of martial training." And also on page 99 (second column under Fury's Paths) "The power which burns within the Fury's heart is undeniable. But the way they reach and channel their rage varies, some simply focus on the power within while others attract powerful spirits which inhabit their body..."
But the Kio book says ALL Kio who take any levels in Fury, regardless of archetype, gain the "Shunned By Your People" trait.
Question 2: Is that correct? While I think its clear that the Path of the Possessed and the Path of the Warped One involve furies (primal or otherwise) inhabiting the body of the (N)PC. I don't think this is true for the Path of the Beserker. It seems to me a Beserker Kio should be possible without automatically being shunned.
Question 3: In the alternative, if the Beserker is also channelling a primal spirit, then should val be banned?
The Berserker is not a primal sub-class but still carries a strong social stigma among the Kio...
