Bloodline Progression
Each tier of Blood (regardless of Bloodline) generates the number of their powers according to the table below. Choosing to roll additional powers comes with a permanent innate penalty, based on your Bloodline. You only ever suffer a penalty if you choose to take an additional power for your Bloodline tier. If you permanently increase your Bloodline tier by any means, you remove any penalty from your previous Bloodline tier, and only gain the penalty from your new tier if you choose to roll an additional power from that tier.
Upon acquiring a Bloodline (nearly always at character creation, outside certain specific events), the character can choose between two attributes (specified by each Bloodline) to act as their Bloodline Key Attribute. This key attribute determines the DC of all Bloodline powers that require a saving throw.
Where a Bloodline power specifies a saving throw, the DC is equal to:
10 + Bloodline Key Attribute modifier + your Bloodline Proficiency + other bonuses - penalties.
Where a Bloodline power states that it allows a counteract check, the counteract modifier is equal to your Bloodline Power DC (above) minus 10.
