[Dave Bailey] I think I've got a good idea where I've gone wrong now. It seems to me to be a matter of clan resources. A given clan will need x warriors to defend the tula, Y farmers to work the land, z cattlemen, w shepherds etc, the sum will be in excess of the clan size so any given individual will need to be a warrior/farmer/cattleman and that specialising puts pressure on the clans stability. By worshipping Orlanth in different aspects rather than specialising the clan gains sufficient numbers and breadth. Does this sound ok?
I realise that in part the god calls the individual, it's not a matter of the ring deciding "we need a Chalana Arroy devotee, you have been assigned this task, go learn. " Could there be a case (adventure) for a clan being destabilised because too many individuals have been called to a particular God(ess) so they don't, frex, have enough farming knowledge?
thanks
Dave.
