I scored the bout as an 8K draw... At least in length. A WGO investigation is pending, however.

I dunno if I go that far, but I agree with the gist. Even if all your group of Praxian PCs are Storm Bull types [hard-bitten homocide detectives, who don't shower too often, wear cheap suits, and 'bend the rules'], then they'll still have to _interact_ with 'normal society' in some shape or form. Such as when their own tribe/clan chief orders them to do something [rotund black lieutenant tells them they have 24 hours to crack the case], or when they bump into some other bunch of Praxians [kindly old desk sargeant from neighbouring precinct]. I trust I make my point insulting obvious. ;-)
Plus as Nick says, HW ought to make playing a Waha or Eiritha dood more interesting, if only because working for the good of the clan (band, lineage, sub-tribe...) becomes a bit more rewarding when you can start to see, in some sort of games terms, what the 'good of the clan' actually is.
Cheers,
Alex.
