[QUOTE="Jraynack, post: 3466367, member: 13894"] First and foremost, Bloodlines would be an option and not something that is forced on any PC. The bloodlines would represent lineages to great personages in their ancestry more so than those presented in UA (monsters and such). It would be the PCs' choice. If they decided to choose to have a bloodline - giving up their feats at certain levels - they would get the equivalent of a feat (instead of a feat, it might be called a Bloodline Trait or something). Not everyone will have a bloodline - only those who want them. Which is the real purpose of the forum - as a company, in developing a new campaign setting - we want to make sure people actually use bloodlines before putting them into the setting as an option. With that said, we could suggest in our campaign book a Game Master only option of having his PCs each have a free bloodline at creation (especially in a campaign where the Game Master is deciding the fates of an empire and the PCs are the major players from the beginning!) Personally, I could run such a campaign scenario since I have 20+ years of experience as a DM, but it could prove challenging to those not experienced and we want to reach a broad audience (experienced and new Game Masters and players alike). Thanks again for your input - it is beginning to look as though the Bloodlines rules were wasted space in UA. Any other thoughts? [/QUOTE]
