Clan Ranks

Each member of a clan starts off as an Initiate and will receive a certificate detailing the benefits of their rank and a place to keep track of their clan points.  Clan members can increase their rank by spending role-playing points to purchase Clan Points (5 role-playing points equal 1 Clan Point).  A clan character can earn a maximum of 5 clan points per gaming session in this fashion.  Special clan events or adventures might grant additional clan points.

If the character leaves their clan for any reason, they lose all clan points and benefits.

Initiate

At the end of a game, Initiates are allowed to give or receive up to 20 role-playing points to or from other members of the same clan, as if they were in a Channel Link.  This ability is cumulative with those granted by a Channel Link, so if an Initiate member is already in a Channel Link, this maximum increases to 40 role playing points. 

You must earn 10 clan points as an Initiate in order to advance to the next rank.

Seeker

In addition to the benefits of the Initiate, Seekers gain a +1 bonus to all rolls involving relations (persuasion, haggle, etc.) with their chosen clan (PCs or NPCs) and a +1 bonus to all knowledge checks that would involve their chosen clan.
