For this ruling I would leave it to the DM's discretion but I would say
the character would have to choose 1 ie a Palidin shouldn't collect full
regency for both Law, Temple, and Province holdings its just too much.

It seems to be the case, since the BIRTHRIGHT Rulebook keeps the PHB
distinction that warriors include all three classes. So according to our
Rulebook p. 41, bards collect RPs, from both Law and Guilds, Paladins from
Law and Temple holdings.

So, no need to be a multi-classed semi-human to collect plenty of RPs...

Ladies and gentlemen,

The rulebook states that nonregent characters may take free actions
(limit 1, which counts toward their three for the domain turn) and
character actions during a domain turn. Does this rule extend to
unblooded PCs? Can a blooded PC give and unblooded PC RPs in order to
complete an action (lieutentant)?

Why not? Nothing in the rules seems to forbid it and there are examples in
official products of active lieutenants that are not blooded. Acoording to
the Ilien domain sourcebook, regent Rogr Aglondier has his unblooded
daughter as an important lieutenant.

I wouldn't stage a campaign with unblooded PCs though; part of the
uniqueness of the Birthright setting is bloodline powers, I feel it's too
bad not to use them.

Yes. Thats what the lieutenants are for. Giving RP in game terms
is that he will get for instance a special uniform that says about
his lieutenanthood of this or that regent. People know this lieutenant
is a guy with 'power' given by regent. It's like president agrees the
ministers and then everybody knows that he is a prime or whatever minister.
