God-Bloods

Children of the many supernatural races of Creation, the God-Blooded are mortal at heart, but can grasp many of the basic fragments of magical power, giving them a leg up over their fellow mortals.

Inheritance

Inheritance functions extremely differently from in Scroll of Heroes. It is a Background that may be purchased as normal for Backgrounds, and provides no extra bonus points or experience. Instead, each dot indicates a higher degree of supernatural blood and talent, as follows:

• 0 - A character with almost no magical blood in her veins. These characters may purchase god-blooded mutations that do not require Awakened Essence, but only with bonus points from their God-Blooded Flaws. They may purchase up to 5 pts of God-Blooded Flaws. They must purchase Essence merits as mortals, and can never learn Charms of their parents. They do not receive the starting powers of their type.
• 00 - A character with a moderately powerful supernatural parent (the most common degree of Inheritance). These god-blooded begin with their type's Heritage Power, and may purchase any God-Blooded mutations, including Awakened Essence, with any bonus points they have. In addition, they may purchase up to (Essence x2) Essence 1 Charms with bonus points or experience, provided they have Awakened Essence. They may not raise their Essence past 3 with bonus points or experience. They may purchase up to 10 pts of God-Blooded Flaws.
• 000 - A character with two supernatural parents, or one powerful parent. This behaves as Inheritance 00, except that the character may purchase any number of Essence 1 Charms, and up to (Essence x2) Essence 2 Charms once she reaches Essence 2. She may purchase up to 15 pts of God-Blooded Flaws.
• 0000 - A character with a truly mighty parent, or two strong supernatural parents. This behaves as Inheritance 000, except that the character may purchase any number of Essence 2 Charms, and up to (Essence x2) Essence 3 Charms once she reaches Essence 3. She may raise her Essence up to 4, and may purchase up to 20 pts of God-Blooded Flaws.
• 00000 - A character with two powerful supernatural parents. This behaves as Inheritance 0000, except that the character may purchase any number of Essence 3 Charms. She may raise her Essence up to 5, and may purchase up to 20 pts of God-Blooded Flaws.
