Going to be hosting my first chronicle as a storyteller soon, and had some confusion about the wording of totems. For this example, and for the reason one of my players is using Possum as their personal totem, Possum gives Stealth 3. Does that mean their stealth ability is set to at least 3 while the totem is active? Do they instead get 3 additional dice on stealth checks? Or is it a +3 dots to a maximum of 5?

I personally am thinking it's a sort of temporary boost to 3 dots, and would revert back to whatever the Fera's normal stealth dots is whenever the totem is lost or inactive. But, I'm asking here because I know that the formatting and wording in the older books can be rather nebulous.
