Now most of it is optional.
Really the only requirement are the disads, and the Membership: Clan of the Sphinx.


the rest is just the standard abilities exhibited by an adult in the clan.


Linguist and Scholar are popular among the Clan as well. They are noted for their minds and their fierce sense of duty . Guardians and Hunters come frm the Clan of the Sphinx.

Some of the things mentioned in your write-up (11 clans, etc), sound interesting. Where did you get this from?

The dark recesses of my head. I'm trying to come up with the other eleven clans...I liked the number, thus far I have:


Dragon
Unicorn
Phoenix (and then I leave L5R)...
Gryphon
Ki-Rin
Pegasus
Sphinx

then I get stuck as too what direction I want to go.

I've considered
Fey
Were (But they seem to call for their own "Clan" systems)
Ghost


I'm stuck....

The environmental movement simply indicates that they can move through heavy brush and branches without penalty. Is 2pts too few?
