> I prefer the Drastic Prax numbers. Bolo Lizard and Ostrich tribes mainly survive by hunting, so Waha is somewhat less useful for them. Pol Joni are Outlanders. Rhino was one of the big tribes at the dawn. They have had tragedies since.

>From a canonical perspective, all of the Drastic books should be used with great caution. There are some materials there that were written by Greg and/or Sandy and are final draft versions. There is also material by them that were works in progress, notes, unfinished and never really intended for publication (in fact, some that were flat-out rejected by the authors). Worse yet, there was a lot of stuff that was pure speculation (and usually quite erroneous) woven in by the publisher.

As for the two Cult Distribution charts, both are flawed but the original chart appearing in Cult Compendium is more accurate than that of Drastic Prax.
