••• Binding Ties
As the Corajoso studies the effects of Blood Ties, he is able to strengthen the connection to those with whom he shares a direct lineage. He can also extend a lesser connection to “siblings” in blood (Kindred who were Embraced by the same sire).
Effect
When using any Discipline or other power that benefits from being turned on a vampire with whom the user has a blood tie, the bonus is equal to the character’s dots in Linagem, rather than the usual +2.
Example: Joseph possesses Linagem •••• and attempts to Dominate his childe. Normally, Joseph’s player would add two dice to the pool rolled for Dominate. However, because of Vidal’s Linagem Discipline, the player adds four dice instead of the two dice from Blood Ties.

Side/Secondary Effects
Additionally, the normal effects of Blood Ties now extend to this vampire’s siblings. Any power that allows a bonus due to Blood Ties provides a +2 bonus when turned on any vampire that was Embraced by the same sire as the Telepath.
