House Rules: Bloodlines
Bloodlines
Any character made has a choice in Birthright - to be a commoner or one
of those with the divine spark of one of the gods who died long ago at
the battle of Daesmaar. If they are of the latter, here then are the
rules for determining such a bennefit.
Bloodline Strength and Source
We
are using a slightly modified version of the most recent BRd20 rules
for Bloodlines. E-mail me for details if you need them.
Bloodline/Leadership
Score
Characters ability to rule is dependant on either their divine right to
rule
(via Bloodline Strength), or their knack for managing groups of people
(via
Leadership Score). Characters are thus limited by the greater of
these
two ratings in regards to gathering regency points and other
Domain-related
issues.
Bodyguards
& Lieutenants: the Regent’s Followers
Scions gain an assortment of followers upon their becoming a
Regent.
These are members of his entourage, followers loyal to his Domain (and
thus
to him, though that loyalty may fade if he ever looses his
throne).
Such followers may come from the Aristocrat, Commoner, Expert or
Warrior
classes, and are supported by his monthly court costs. The regent may
also
recruit Cohorts to act as Lieutenants. Such Lieutenants may have
a
higher character level than the Scion, but only up to the character’s
full
ECL. The Regent may employ a number of Lieutenants equal to the
level
of his Court, and such Cohorts must be of a race acceptable to his
Domain’s
society (meaning monster lieutenants are pretty much right-out). The
Leadership
Table in the DMG can be used to determine numbers and levels (just use
the
character’s BS in place of LS).
