Dragaerans are connected to their birth house by genetics and 100 years or so of childhood. An Easterner could buy a title in the Jhereg (a Feat?) but would keep the Easterner Race "template"; he would not adopt the Jhereg Race "template" because he is *in* the Jhereg House, not *of* it. <snip> I like your start so far, but I thought there were no "true" Jhereg .... ah here it is .... In Jhereg chapter 9 from the book search "They played around with jheregs and found a way to put human-level intelligence into a brain the size of a rednut, but they never put any jhereg genes into Dragaerans." So it seems to me that Jheregs would have to be like a sub class that someone who wants to be a Jhereg would need to choose either Easterner or one of the other 16 houses, get those bonuses and weakneses, then join Jhereg sub-class and get another set of bonuses and weaknesses added on. Any thoughts on that? Genji
