Alright, as I promised it is time to vote on santioning Chapter 2 of the BRCS, Blood and Regency.
Only the blood abilities bloodform and bloodtrait will be changed after this 'sanctioning' due to the fact that we still need to hammer out how to handle awn/ersh.
This poll will remain open for approximately 2 weeks. Let's shoot for closing of the poll 3/26-3/27/04.
You will have to access the poll via the website and not the mail serv. Sorry, but I can't count votes any other way
The goal is to have approximately twice as many "for" votes as "against".
Here is the zipped Word version.Duane Eggert

Here is the pdf version. Sorry it took me so long to post, but my converter was disabled and it took me a while to find how to re-enable it.

I would have voted not to sanction Chapter 2 but wanted to see how others had voted. Which made my vote a null vote, which is basically an abstention, right?

Polls are held for you to vote! Please, do us a favour and choose, not ask us to choose for you: if you find the revised 2nd Chapter to be to your liking (which you apparently don't), vote for it, otherwise, against it; if you don't know, abstention is the way...

:angry:
I don't know why, but I found your "Please, do us a favour and choose, not ask us to choose for you" statement really rude.
I am not asking anyone to choose for me, and in the future I will not Null Vote. I was just making my situation known and asking a question. If you couldn't answer it civilly (which you obviously couldn't), then you shouldn't have answered it at all.

I don't know...
I think I like the Scion classes even less than the 7th ability score. Maybe I'm old and grey, but I'd still greately favor a system for bloodlines that were more like the 2E one.
I also think that the Highlander-style elements should go dig a hole, hid in it and never show its ugly head again.
No, this is changing from one bad system to another.

I'm another no vote.
This system does not improve on the old one, and more importantly, all the inline variants make it damn near impossible to read.

When it comes to portraying bloodline I`ve come to the conclusion that most
of the actual mathematical values should just remain what they were to
begin with. Certain things need to be updated or revised (a couple tables,
for example, and the blood abilities themselves cry out for revision) but
there`s really no need to portray bloodline as a character class (a la
Savage Species) in order to do so.

Well, I wouldn`t stick `em in a hole, but I don`t care for the exploding
scion system either. It`s too weird, too different from the original ideas
presented in the BR system and just seems like something that is
unnecessary. Coming up with a method to portray being stabbed in the heart
is difficult in D&D, but having scions blow up and disperse their bloodline
in a blast radius isn`t the way to go.

The other reason that a scion class level system works is that it makes things easier to port into an adventure-based or domain based campaign system, where the things that 'contibute' to a level adjustment don't all come into consideration.
