    I haven't had time enough to think about your other questions, but this one...

    Technically, no matter how much they love each other, Aeric Boeruine and
    Darien Avan can NOT have children. Sheesh, some people run really odd
    campaigns.

    No, seriously(though I did like your joke), It was mentioned at the end of WAR
    that there would be arrangement between the Boeruine's and the Avan's for the
    production of a viable heir to the Iron throne. Did this fall apart of the
    next few years or did it happen and old stony butt eat the baby for dinner?

    I think this was going to be covered in a book entitled Siege, but
    when BR was put on hold by TSR, all the novels in development were either
    cancelled, Falcon and the Wolf, or changed to FR, (can't remember the name
    right now). I did like the characters from those novels, particularly the
    Half elf and the insights into how a halfbreed would be treated in different
    areas.

    On the subject of Bloodlines, there's stuff in the rulebook about
    how the children's bloodlines will be the average of the parent's scores and
    the higher of the strength for derivation. Then when Avan or Boeruine are
    about to pass on they do an investiture and the son or daughter is brought
    up to the level of the ruler. There are a few places where this seems
    weird, eg Aubrae Avan having the same Bloodstrength as her father, so I
    guess her mother had 60-70 as well.

    Or you could have people with artifacts like Brenna's favour or the
    crown of Anuire or one of the sielsheghlien (? BoM)

    ROFL!! Heh. Wasn't the suggestion that Aeric and Darien love each
    other what started this whole feud?!? :)

    Seriously, I think that is why there is no Emperor now. Boeruine has
    marriage ties to the Iron Throne and claims that they are as strong a
    claim as Avans' claim of bloodrights to the Iron Throne. Same with
    Diem.

    Anyways,
    Cheers,
    Darren

    I seem to have sparked an interesting discusion on the passing of
    bloodlines to ones childeren. Which I think is mostly done by the
    investure action. According to the rules it either raises someone
    bloodline to hight of the donor (who looses everything). When the donors
    bloodpower is lower, then the reciever will rise by 1. This would seem a
    good reason to protect your father or mother (depending who has got the
    higher bloodline) until your parent is ready for the investure act. This
    is especialy true in the case of characters with ancient powerful
    bloodlines, since there are only that many.

    But my real question was regarding illegemate childeren, because I might
    want to use that against a PC. Not that the character has got an
    illegemate child, but because the mother realy believes the PC is the
    father (don't you love those illusions :-) ).
