So, going through the namekian racials its hard not to notice the incredible bonus for the Mazoku. Dragon castes get a shorter end of the stick (although their free tech slot can be something a bit more "special" than a regular free tech,) and warrior castes get the worst deal of all (a free tech slot.)
The powerful racial technique shines through, as there are many more mazoku on the site than warrior caste and even dragon caste.
So coming to this conclusion, I've come up with a new racial trait for warrior caste, and that is the ability to purchase guards by subtracting from their own power level.
This UC will use the OLD significantly lower scaled guard power level ratios.
In terms of the dragon caste trait, healing will remain as a "learnable" technique that they can receive, but their official "mystic technique" can be a moderately powerful support styled [SP], similar to a demon technique, that they can apply for upon conception under the skeptical discretion of the application reviewers.

Eh... somehow I can't see many people going for the Warrior Caste if that was their trait, compared to the Mazoku one. I mean, which would you go for? The Caste where you have to make yourself weaker and get a fixed PL Guard, or the Caste where you keep all your PL and get a free Minion that scales with you?

What if it used the current guard PL ratio?

It's still got the same problem though. It feels like a weaker nerfed version of the Mazoku trait.

I'm going to disagree for a few reasons.
a) PL as a currency is wonky because PL is typically awarded at much higher rates than Zen.
b) We don't have a lot of image slots for items to throw around, and these would be all new items.
c) The proposed Warrior UC is way too weak because it disregards modifiers. Plus, Warriors get an Xform that other paths do not.
d) These Clans were never meant to be their own race with their entire set of UCs. These were supposed to be the flavor added onto a number of UCs that were true to Namekians. I agree that Namekians could use a slight buff. Bio-android regeneration being used a bit-too-strongly has really put Namekians at a disadvantage. But I think that any repaving of Namekian should go to all Namekians, in their UC, instead of differentiating the clans more.

I'm going to disagree for a few reasons. I have to disagree with almost all of your counterpoints, allow me to elaborate.a) PL as a currency is wonky because PL is typically awarded at much higher rates than Zen. The lower scaling could compensate for that, or we could use the current scaling and multiply the cost by x1.75b) We don't have a lot of image slots for items to throw around, and these would be all new items. These would not be new items, they are guards, just like the Mazoku UC is a minion.c) The proposed Warrior UC is way too weak because it disregards modifiers. Plus, Warriors get an Xform that other paths do not. All namekians can get a giant form. Warriors simply get a free tech slot worth of it. It is not a warrior exclusive xform.d) These Clans were never meant to be their own race with their entire set of UCs. These were supposed to be the flavor added onto a number of UCs that were true to Namekians. I agree that Namekians could use a slight buff. Bio-android regeneration being used a bit-too-strongly has really put Namekians at a disadvantage. But I think that any repaving of Namekian should go to all Namekians, in their UC, instead of differentiating the clans more. Mazoku namekians get a free 25% minion, a drastically more powerful bonus than any of the other castes. While buffing all namekians makes sense, mazoku still are the most advantageous path to take. Regardless of individual prefrence, Mazoku clearly outclasses the other castes. Vi-Poi

There should be a fixed limit on the # of guards.
