The relative power level of scion classes was based on a campaign that entails approximately equal amounts of domain and adventure level play. The relative power of scions breaks down for campaigns that are almost exclusively domain or adventure based. The following are suggestions that may be incorporated into a campaign in order to put the relative power levels at a more even keel.

• Reduce the levels of scion classes. That is, eliminate the 2nd level and make the first one great bloodline. What this does however is to make essentially no difference between minor and major bloodlines. In order to maintain some sort of balance between the two, it is suggested to use a random method of determining bloodline strength in lieu of allowing players to choose.
  
• Modify blood abilities to add a domain level effect. This requires some careful DM input and instruction in order to keep them balanced with each other. The following are some guidelines for adding domain level effects to blood abilities:
  

Alertness - The scion gains a +2 to any check made to resolve random events that occur.

Healing - At Minor level the scion gains the ability to heal a lost hit point of a single unit, once per battle per domain turn. At Major level the scion gains the ability to heal a number of points of damage equal to his blood score modifier and this can be spread over a number of units or all at once. For example a scion with the healing - Major blood ability has a blood score modifier of 3, he can choose to heal 3 total points 1 point for each of three units, 2 points to one unit and 1 point to another, etc. This ability can be used for one battle a domain turn. At Great level in addition to the Major effects the scion can also cure any condition that a single unit is suffering from. This ability can be used for one battle each month. Regardless of the level of this ability the scion must be present among the unit he is affecting.
