[QUOTE="Ghostknight, post: 1523618, member: 15338"] Right, I got UA yesterday and started reading. I found the bloodlines interesting and was trying to get my mind round how they work. Is it - a) It states that they do not add to the character level - so essentially it is saying that for a major bloodline the person needs double the xp each level (first to level the bloodline, and then to level the character). Effectively this means the character is going to use 420000xp to get to 20th level, will have the bloodline abilities to 20th level, character class abilities to 20th level, saves and skill points as a 20th level character BUT skill levels as a 40th level character DC vs their spells as a 40th level character etc. b) Bloodlines are levels but then a major bloodline character is underpowered compared to other characters as no extra skill points, character abilities etc as they level. So option a is very high powered (normally this amount of xp would be a 28th level character), trading 8 class levels for 20 extra features, higher DCs, higher skill points and only needing the lower xp total (in this case 21000 xp) for the next level. Option B is very underpowered so I am thinking that option a is meant and this is a high power variant. I am correct in this thinking or have I missed something? [/QUOTE]
