Why Bloodlines?
I lifted the concept from Midnight where it was called a Path. I think it adds some uniqueness to a character. I like unique characters, I think it gets the player more involved and attached to the character. You aren't just a Human who is largely identical to any other human apart from the skills you've mastered, you're a Human who is descended from such and such hero or are from a family that's noted for it's wisdom or you win bar bets because of some unexplainable knack you just happen to have.

I also disliked the way half breeds have traditionally been handled. Now, if you want to be half elven, you select Human and Elf Blooded (or vice versa). This also allows a standardized way to handle any half breed. Combinations the DM doesn't want to allow can be specifically excluded in the prerequisites.

I also wanted to provide my players with a good range of 'little powers'. Things that are situational but could really save the day in the right situation. This provides me with another way of dishing these out.
