What is the point of picking a clan really, except for boosts in stats? You are pretty much the same from the other.

Though while on the topic of other kind of pointless things when creating your character. Your deity and what I guess your birthday? The diety only gives you minor elemental resistance, which in the end doesn't seem to do much from what I've seen. Then the birthday has no real place than other roleplaying. :/ It boggles me, that these things are there yet, we have yet to see anything expanded on them or explained about them.
