06-22-07, 01:10 AM Does anyone know a proper cr adjustment for bloodline levels? They seem more like level adjustment (the book even compares the two), which does not transfer well to cr. Anyone have a good answer to this, because I'm stumped either way.

06-22-07, 01:16 AM Seems like +0 to me.

06-22-07, 02:42 AM Likewise. Even if the NPC hasn't yet reached a high enough level to take the first bloodline level, the abilities aren't powerful enough to warrant a +1 CR increase. And after the NPC has taken a bloodline level, they're definitely not enough to warrant any CR increase :)

06-22-07, 04:35 AM A minor bloodline definitely isn't worth and increase.

An intermediate would really only be significant if the villain in question was 5 or more levels above the party, maybe a CR +1

A major bloodline likewise I can't see meriting over a +1 to CR.
