Re: New Advantages
Blood of the Hanif [Physical] (2 Points, Yodotai Only)
You are descended from the original Yodotai Empire, and your ancestors once called Octavion home. Others give you a small measure of respect for your prestige and listen to your words with attention. You gain a +1k1 bonus when using a Social Skill on other Yodotai. You may not take the Despicable Disadvantage.

Cosmopolitan [Mental] (5 Points, Yodotai Only)
The Yodotai Empire encompasses many different cultures from different lands. Though the Yodotai compel each conquered land to mesh with the rest of their nation, many citizens still retain their former cultural identity. You are skilled at adapting to these quirks and making people feel comfortable with your presence. You gain a +1k0 bonus to all Social Skill rolls.

Favored of your Lord [Social] (2 Points)
Due to some great service you have performed on behalf of your Lord, he has placed you under his auspices of protection. You may not purchase this advantage unless you possess an Integrity rank of 5 or higher. So long as your Integrity does not drop below 5.0 no one of Integrity 4 or higher who is a member of your faction may attack you unless you attack them first. Their own loyalty to your shared lord makes it impossible for them to strike. Members of other factions are not so restrained however and may attack as they please, though their actions may have consequences for attacking a member of such high regard in another faction.

Re: New Advantages
Hazaad Allegiance [Social] (3 Points, Non-Dahabi Sahir only)
Through marriage, service of merit, or very large bribes you have been granted permission to join House Hazaad despite your foreign origin. As such you have permission to openly study and use magic within Medinaat al-Salaam to further the House's goals. This should also be considered a Major Obligation towards House Hazaad - after all they only need to cast you out for you to be a wanted criminal with a death penalty to your name.

Khadi's Hound [Social] (3 Points)
Your part-time membership in the city guard has put you in a special group that is willing to look the other way for minor weapon violations. You may carry any weapon on your person within the city. However, as a part time member of the city guard you must devote two days out of the week towards City Guard duties (at least one time slot per day). If you do not put in the mandatory two days a week you lose access to this advantage.
