Actually, it's not *that* much. Technically, a Cat shaman gets 8
dice, same as dog, same as shark, same as Wolf... all get 2 more dice
starting out...

Extra lifestyle would be a good idea. But at the time, the GM just
crossed those bridges when we game to them. All said and done, his
teammates paid a 30 'yen bar tab, and my Shaman paid a bar tab well over
the 400 hundred 'yen mark. <g>
Do note I think I only played him for about 2 sessions before he...
*ahem* "retired". :)

It was pretty funny. The physical stats on him were quit low. I
think he had a str of 3 or 4 and his body was *maybe* 5. I recall one
incident in which a troll bouncer wouldn't get out of his way... well,
the troll got a couple of spell tossed... but my Shaman had to be
dragged away from his ass-kicking by his chummers before he was a pasty
cake. Everyone playing got a good laugh out of it, and we had a good
time- and that is, after all, the whole point of gaming. :)

Uh, nope... Cat Gets 4 dice, Dog gets 4 dice, shark get's 4 dice...

+2 Illusion/City Spirits
+2 Detection/Hearth Spirits
+2 Combat/Sea Spirits
+2 Combat/Forest Spirits (usually)

sorry, that example bounced IMO.
