Plus an equal number of farmers/hunters/fishers. Gives a total of 9 to 15%, which seems not much different from my 10% normal comment.

But as I've said, half that figure would be farmers/hunters/fishers who would support the clan as a whole. In other words, we seem to agree on how many non-food-producers a clan could support. Our disagreement appears to be only how many of the producers are also devotees.
