Regency Pool (SU): Unused Regency Points may be retained indefinitely in a Regent’s Regency Pool. The maximum number of Regency Points a Regent can keep in this pool is determined by the Regent’s bloodline strength: Tainted = 15, Minor =25, Major = 50, Great = 75, and True = 100. Leadership Bonus (Ex): A Regent adds his/her Regent level to his/her Leadership score as a bonus. This bonus does not apply until the character selects the Leadership feat. Regency Focus (Su): A 1st level Regent chooses what types of holdings will earn Regency for him/her. At 1st level, the Regent selects 2 areas of focus, one of which must be either Urban or Rural (representing settled civilizations or nomadic tribes, respectively) and the other being one of the options for Law, Temple, Guild, or Source. Some options give 1/2 value to each; Criminal focus, for example gives 1/2 Law and 1/2 Guild. Mercantile focus gives a full 1 point to Guild Holdings. At 3rd level, the Regent selects an additional area of focus. No Holding type may ever give more than 1 1/2 RP per level to a Regent. At 5th level, the Regent selects an additional are of focus, using the same limitations as at 3rd level.Regent Feat (Ex): At 2nd level, the Regent may choose a bonus Feat from the Regent group. Regent Feats include the Scion feats, plus add some for managing Domains. HeraldThe Heralds are an organization of non-blooded individuals whose role in society is to know and record the ancestries and deeds of the Blooded. Since Bloodlines equate to nobility, the&nbsp; nobles need people who are free of their rivalries to be the record keepers and genealogists. Blooded characters, therefore, are barred from the Heralds. Heralds are a Prestige Class geared toward Bards. Their spell access revolves around Bloodlines. They have rights of free passage, as they serve as messengers between the noble families. The organization is scrupulusly neutral in its dealings with the Blooded families, and punishes harshly any Herald who takes sides. The College of Heralds is funded by the noble families through a registration fee. The same fee is charged of each family, and no family is allowed to donate more than others.
