I'd like to suggest a minor change to Hoshigake: Instead of requiring them to be Taijutsu masters or Nin/tai specialists, why not simply require them to be taijutsu specialist or higher? The only effective change this would give them is the ability to be Clan/Tai, and I don't really see a major reason why they wouldn't be allowed to go clan/tai. Unless, that is, it's supposed to represent a somewhat xenophobic nature to the clan. Either way, they would still remain restricted from most KG.
On the topic of clans/KG, Hoshigake also still mentions Kaishin(which no longer exists, iirc), and Futakongo(which has a new name now)
Another change, albeit a more controversial and less useful one, would be to allow Hoshigake to be medical or even genjutsu specialists, along with tai specialist. However, without allowing them to actually learn genjutsu or medical ninjutsu. This would give Hoshigake access to higher will saves, and some medical categories like sensor they already had access to otherwise.
I wouldn't be surprised if this second proposition is shot down immediately, though I would like to suggest the adoption of the former; the allowance for Hoshigake to be Tai/Clan specialists, or more precisely to alter their restriction just to require them to be taijutsu specialist or above, likely combined with continued bans from gen and med specialists. This would give them an added degree in character creation variety, without completely upsetting or removing their restrictions. They would still be the clan or KG with the heaviest set of restrictions; being banned from two releases, at least two epics(due to the aforementioned release restrictions) and all but a handful of KG, along with being totally unable to learn genjutsu, medical ninjutsu, or puppeteering.
