Concerning bloodline abilities
Hi all. I still play ad&d 2e here and had a question concerning the bloodline abilities.
Has anyone ever fully converted them so as to have them run completely off of blood score instead of the way they were originally presented?
I am currently "attempting" to convert all of them to be based completely (as much as I can) off the character in questions bloodline strength and or score so was just curious if someone else had already done so over the past 25 or 30 years.
For example a minor ability such as detect lies is a static duration and caster level as well as uses per day. What I am doing is making all of the above variable, depending upon their personal bloodline strength (minor, major, great, etc) as well as their actual bloodline score (whatever it may be)
For the above one I believe I tentatively have it set at caster level of the ability is equal to bloodline strength divided by 5 rounded down (minimum of 1), duration as 1 round per 10 bloodline strength (minimum of 1 round), and uses per day set to bloodline strength divided by 20 rounded down (minimum of once per day).
I have always felt that the way they did it was jist very arbitrary and also feel that by switching it in such a manner where it has little to nothing to do with a characters actual level, that it makes the bloodlines more "real" instead of just a tacked on system of special abilities where as your bloodline strength and score changes so do the abilities you have gained from it. So what do you all think?
