SilverFoxKnows 12-12-07, 07:38 PM	One of our players took a silver dragon bloodline for flavor but it hasn't helped her too much in game. I think some are better than others, I guess it depends on what you want to do with your character. As DM, in a different game, I'm working on a group of bad guys with a bloodline... . . . DIRE HAMSTER DON'T READ . . . . . . . . . . Kobolds with a Dread Linnorm (modified dragon) bloodline. Game starts this Sunday, we'll see how it pans out.

The loss of levels is not worth the benefits gained. You're better off making it a template of sorts with the abilities coming in at the appropriate level and add a +1 LA for the major or intermediate lines and make it a feat for the minor line and perhaps intermediate lines.
maskimus 12-14-07, 03:30 PM	Yeah. That's what I kinda thought. Thanks.
