Take for instance, the following build Human ECL 7 Rogue 1- Improved Unarmed Strike, Ascetic Rogue Monk 1- Ranger 1, Ascetic Hunter Bloodline 1 Bloodline 2 Paladin 1-Ascetic Knight Bloodline 3 Now since bloodline levels increase any character ability dependent on class level, we may count the bloodline levels towards Rogue, Ranger and Paladin for their multiclassing feats. This means the build above has unarmed damage equal to a 16th lvl monk. A similar build could be done using Devoted Inquistor, Ascetic Rogue, and the cleric/rogue feat from Dragon 357.

Two things that mix very well with bloodlines are Ardent manifesting and Binder progression. Access to higher level abilities for both of those is entirely dependant on your manifester level and effective binder level. Also, due to the weird way that multiclassing works with bloodlines, you can technically get the bloodline levels to add multiple times to them via PrCs. So an ardent 2/binder 1/anima mage (psionic variant) 10/Knight of the Sacred Seal 4 (for example) with improved binding, practiced manifester, and a greater bloodline would have an equivalent binder level of 26 and ardent manifester level of 22 at ECL 20. He'd gain access to 9th level vestiges at level 11, and 9th level Ardent powers at 15th.
