My crucial Birthright problem

[Lawgiver]

Or perhaps merely that the blooded character learns to tap into his (until then) hidden powers. I don't see that it HAS to be a physical transformation - a transformation certainly is one viable way of describing it, but not the only one.

Agreed.

Personally, I wouldn't make level based. IF it's going to be based on a numeric value I'd do it based on the bloodline. Each pt gained pushes one further toward transformation. It would be interesting to offer a new feat after every Xpts (3?) and a disadvantage every Y pts(5?).

I would think that they should be more directly linked. Have the advantage and disadvantage increment at the same time, and make sure that they affect the same thing. The gorgon's gaze became more and more potent as his visage became more and more horrific, etc. etc.
