Technically, bloodtheft only occurs when the killing stroke of a weapon
pierces the heart. However, I allow small bonuses (and penalties) to
bloodline strength based on reputation. Kill a minor awnsheigh, gain 2-3
points in bloodline strength as your reputation increases and people
respect you more. Win a battle against your "heriditary enemy" and gain
1-2 points, win a war against that enemy and gain 4-5 points. (Effective
use of bards and bardic colleges could double this, but my players never
figured that out.) Of course, I give them similar penalties from defeats.
I typically give this bonus to the whole party that is involved in the
awnsheigh-killing, unless they keep it quiet, in which case their
reputations do not increase and they don't get the increase.
