Totem Pole, Guardian: A guardian totem pole is a very powerful and sacred magical item which is used to protect villages from any who would seek to destroy them. Standing fully 20 feet tall, the guardian totem pole is carved into the stylised likeness of any five animals which are sacred to the tribe which possesses it. Once a day, the village chief, or an elder of the tribe, can use the guardian totem pole to summon an animal to the village’s defence, as per the spell summon nature’s ally V. Only an animal can be summoned in this fashion but in addition to its normal abilities, the animal also gains the celestial template and is considered awakened, as per the spell. Neither the celestial template nor the benefits of being awakened are considered when summoning the sacred animal. The animal fights in defence of the village but cannot move more than one mile away from the guardian totem pole. The sacred animals carved onto the guardian totem pole do not determine which animals can be summoned using its powers.
