[Fifth Element Games] Bloodline Levels released!

[Fifth Element]

Fifth Element Games is pleased to annouce the release of Bloodline Levels.

The normal bloodline rules are clever, but unsatisfying to many players. Not only do you have to give up one or more character levels (and the Hit Dice and attack and save bonuses that go with them) in order to have a bloodline, you need to decide during character creation how strong your bloodline will eventually be, and if you don't carry through, you suffer a massive XP penalty. Fifth Element Games resolves these issues by adapting our Background Levels mechanics and applying them to bloodlines. Bloodline Levels presents 42 bloodlines, including the 35 standard bloodlines, 5 undead bloodlines and 2 brand new bloodlines: the ettercap and the medusa.

Very cool.

Be on the lookout for an email from me.

I like it- any plans for more?

Do you mean more bloodlines? Perhaps. If there's any in particular you'd like to see, drop me a line.

Done, via the editor email. I hope the list isn't overwhelming- I see a lot of potential in the concept.

Interesting. I allowed bloodlines in one game, and came to the conclusion I HATE the xp mechanics for them.

 

[Fifth Element]

The XP thing...yeah, I never understood the need for new mechanics to incorporate bloodlines into the game. Bloodline Levels avoids that, simply using a feat and some class levels to accomplish the goal.
