Minor Bloodlines are automated players that you may add
to your games for more variety in multiplayer games or as
opponents in solo games.
Before the game
1. Print the minor bloodlines on A4 or US Letter paper
2. Choose 1-3 minor bloodlines to add to the game
3. Assign 3 clan boons to each Clan leader and add any
amount of power/infamy as indicated on the sheet.
4. Find a D10 (ten-sided die; not included with Heritage)
Special Ability
Each minor bloodline has a passive, ongoing ability carried
out whenever the condition is met.
Power Level
Each bloodline also comes with a power level that’s a rough
indication of their threat in the game. We recommend weaker
PLs in multiplayer games and stronger ones as 1p challenges.

On the minor bloodline’s turn
1. Roll the D10 to select which vampire in the minor bloodline
is activated. If the vampire selected is exhausted, the next
highest number is selected instead (example: from number
3 to number 4). Continue until an unexhausted vampire is
selected)
3. Activate the selected vampire (using the notes for each
battleground if necessary)
4. Trigger the ability of the selected vampire (if any)
5. Exhaust the selected vampire (Exception: the minor blood-
line’s clan leader may never be exhausted/placed into torpor)
6. Hunt: Remove the rightmost unreserved character in the
queue that matches the Minor Bloodline’s hunting preference.
If none matches, remove the rightmost unreserved character.
Note: Minor bloodline clan leaders cannot gain infamy. The
minor bloodline never takes any optional action (such as
sacrifice) and refuses all offers (Nosferatu black markets, Tore-
ador invitations, etc) but otherwise follows all standard rules.
of the that color, also place 1 ankh of that color in each empty adjacent court
(player choice if not enough ankhs in home province; does not snowball).
If the vampire’s geographic attribute is not the favored faction they undermine
from within. Move all ankhs of this color from the focus court to their home
court.
IV.The Inquisition: No special rules.
V.The Anarch Revolt: When activating a vampire:
If the color is favored (see WotP), protect the city. Otherwise: If vampire is
BLUE they protect and take ankh, If the vampire is YELLOW they support re-
volt and place ankh in fire.
VI.The Masquerade: No special rules.
VII.The Court No special rules.
VIII.The Rise of Humanity: No special rules.
IX.The Sabbat Wars: Minor bloodlines must be assigned either Camarilla or
Sabbat allegiance (may not support the Anarchs). The target of the activation
is always an enemy faction (may not effect tokens of their own faction). If any
tokens are flipped face-up, the target is the highest value enemy token in the
region. Otherwise the target is randomly selected from the region. When acti-
vating a SCHOLARLY vampire:
If the activating vampire is BLUE the token is moved clockwise.
If the activating vampire is YELLOW the token is moved counter-clockwise.
