Aranea Bloodline
by Damon BrownFor those who don't have UA, this basically means a character has a "bloodline" (either magical or genetic) from some kind of magical creature whereby traits are passed down. The level of the bloodline can be minor, intermediate, or major. In return for these special traits, a character has to sacrifice 1-3 character levels (depending on the level of bloodline). The exact details of this concept are a little bit beyond the scope of this e-mail, but they are explained very well in UA.
Anyway, I've only listed the major bloodline traits - the minor & intermediate traits can easily be extrapolated by those who are familiar with the concept. Of course, questions and comments are welcome... although I would imagine that the number of people with UA might be a bit low.
