Uhm, you're in error on one point. The heir of a blooded character does
NOT automatically assume the full score of the parent. Only the holdings
and regency are transferred in this way (p. 31, Rulebook "The heir does not
gain any blood strength or abilities").
The only way such a total transference of power can take place is for the
parent to divest himself (or herself) for the purpose of raising the
child's bloodline... usually to ensure that increases the parent earned are
not lost (Rulebook p.30); in which case the parent's score becomes 0.
Hope that helps....
