    Perhaps some new blood abilities need to come into existence. Whoever wrote the Demon (awnshegh) had the right idea. I think a limited summoning blood ability wouldn't be a bad addition to the repertoires of Vorynn and Azrai scions.

    How about this:

    (Great) Natural Lycanthropy - (Reynir)

    The character can gain (MPC) levels as a standard werewolf. Alignment is as a normal character. Or possibly, they can have access to an exclusive prestige class that terminates with them acquiring the werewolf template.

    Other possible animals: Wereshark (Masela), Wererat (Azrai), Werelion (Anduiras), Wereraven (Vorynn), etc.
    Explain how this is a signature, its not my handwriting.

    I like the idea of new blood abilities. I've always thought of the blood abilities in the rule book as examples of the most common abilities. I like the idea that some families are associated with certain powers, even unique ones.

    I am not so sure I like the idea of a lycanthropy-oriented blood ability, though - it doesn't sound very godly to me.

    I'd have to agree with Mark and vote this one off the island.

    The summoning idea has some merit, provided it didn't get out of hand.

    It was just an idea, to start the motors churning.

    Sounds more like the motor sputtered and died. Nice thought though.
    This is an adventure dammit! I expect to be rewarded for acts of homicide!

    how about the ability to understand all languages of a certain type, for example

    any type of mammal
    any type of animal
    any type of humanoid

    and as a major ability you can not only understand but speak it

    as a great ability you can read and write the language if applicable

    It seems that this might be a bot excessive. Perhaps if it was a subset of the classes you specify. For example instead of all animals you might say all birds.

    So a Speak with Animals Blood ability as a minor would allow you to speak to and understand a family of animals birds, reptiles, mammals(land), mammals(sea), fish; as a major would allow you to speak to 3 of the families; as a great would allow you to speak with all animals.

    I have read many of the blood ability postings on the Net; some are excellent, some are broken. It also seems that the list in the rulebook only suggests more ideas. What I would like to see is directions on how make and rank my own blood abilities
