I was inspired by the Pharaonic tradition thread to post what I've been using as the Hmong shamanic tradition for my Hmong-influenced Minneapolis-St. Paul homebrew setting. Feel free to take a look. It's a couple pages of lore and details on top of the actual selections.

Those selections, for those who want to skip to the crunch:

Materialization
Will+Cha
Combat: Guardian
Detection: Air
Health: Guidance
Illusion: Beast
Manipulation: Task

Just make sure no one scares the Hmong, otherwise that person has to catch the scared person's soul. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Looks well thought out and I'm glad to see its similarities to the Shamanic tradition.
