I'm still slugging away at my Pathfinder Kingmaker Birthright lashup, and I have a question for DMs who have experience with Birthright. For the longest time, my players have refused to run realms, so while I have been running in Cerilia almost since it came out, I have very little actual experience with the realm game.

I note that regents can use their stored up Regency Points to increase their bloodline strength, subject to a maximum of 2 added points per year. My question to you is, how often is this usually done?

I've been running my game for a while-- 6 game years, but have been ignoring the BR realm rules in favor of Pathfinder's rules. I've still got the bloodlines there, allowing them some effect on the realm, but not tracking RPs, except in cases of bloodtheft or significant accomplishments in politics. Have I been cheating my ruler PC? In a quiet year, is it common that a ruler could save up the RP to jump their bloodline a point or two?
