BLOOD!

[Victorian]

Well now, I thought I'd cook up some bloodlines to make your characters more colourful! The rules are simple, choose your race, then add one of these bloodlines on top, all abilities stack on top of those the race already possesses. A number of spell like abilities will say you can use them once or twice per day, please bare in mind you'll have to rest up to use them again. So thats it, tell me what you think of them!
