I usually carve the personality of my PC's in play so things like this is very helpful for me.

Some just have a more vested interest in these families than others. I'm sure that there are other bloodline traits and ancestors of fame and infamy not mentioned on the table, but since this is primarily for adventuring characters, I decided to concentrate on the most game-applicable parts of family descent.Michael Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13217338828086458862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727301007280965202.post-36321938307805112522009-06-11T10:45:19.512-04:002009-06-11T10:45:19.512-04:00Very inspirational.
