Change to the ruling so far...<br/><br/>You can pay off Bloodlines with XP as if they were LA. But they are seperate and do not stack with one another.<br/><br/>IE: If you were Trueblooded (+1), Red Eyes (+1 at 6th, +1 at 13th), and True Red Eyes (+1)<br/><br/>You would NOT have a +4 LA for the purposes of paying off bloodlines. If that was the case, you'd only be able to buy out your LA once every 12 levels. You'd finally have +0 LA.... at level 48.<br/><br/>Instead, count them as seperate instances with their own XP cost. So Trueblooded will cost 3000 XP at 3rd level. Red Eyes will cost 6000 XP at 6th level and 9000 XP at 9th. True Red Eyes will cost 3000 XP at 3rd level also.<br/><br/>So... I'm not setting a starting level or anything. Everyone has 32,000 XP. Without any LA, this puts you halfway between 8th and 9th. Now subtract from that. I'll make it simple...<br/><br/>Jun has 29,000 XP. This makes her Level 8 with no LA.<br/>Tashi has 20,000 XP. This makes him Level 6 with no LA.<br/><br/>For balance's sake, I might consider making True Red Eyes an addition onto the Red Eyes... Which would make it 9000 XP at 9th, 15,000 XP at 15th, and 18,000 XP at 18th. This would give him 29,000 XP. He'd be Level 7 with 1 Bloodline Level (ECL 8) He'd be closer to Jun in the short-term... but, fast-forward, say, to to level 20 halfway to 21; 200,000 XP...<br/><br/>Jun (197,00 XP), Level 20 with no LA.<br/>Tashi (155,000 XP), Level 18 with no LA.<br/><br/>The first option I mentioned would make Jun Level 20 with no LA, and Tashi Level 19 with no LA.<br/><br/>So... short-term balance or long-term balance? :P
