They gain half their bloodine strength in RP for each bloodline score they go down. and each Power point cost 2 RP. If for instance the lieutenant have a bloodline of 19, then he can lower his bloodline to 18 gaining 9 RP in the process. The 9 RP can then be used to cast battle spells of the type available to his class at a cost of 2RP for 1 power point. The lieutenant is also limited to maximum using power points equal to his level during a single battle. Can a lieutenant cast realm magic using this RP? Yes, but seeing as it is the lieutenants own RP they would need a darn good reason to do it.

Thank you, I was just wondering. I'd imagine some scheme to invest the character in question with someone else's power or the likes would see them do it. I was thinking on the subject and the fact that you mentioned somewhere that an Lt might use its rp for itself sometimes. Something more to be paranoid about

Do spells like
Eldritch Blast: Change spell effect to: "For each target Roll 1D6 on table 4-1 and deal the amount of hits indicated on the table to the unit" Table 4-1
Dice roll - Hits - Morale
0 0 0 1 1 0,2 2 1 0,4 3 2 0,7 4 2 1,0 5 3 1,4 6 3 1,9 7 3 2,4
Actually do morale damage aswell?

Erm Andreas, is that not what the 'Morale' column signifies?
1 on the die = 1 hit & 0.2 morale damage.
Or are you talking about something I seem to miss?

It just seems if your a mage that cast cataclysm and have a lot of cavalry you would almost certainly win, and do terrible pursuit damage.

So it only manipulates what units are on the front line?

Yes I would guess so? But a high level caster could cast it 5 times for 2GB and 20RP.

To be able to cast eldritch blast 5 times would require you to have a lvl 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 spell slot, which would be prohibitively expensive. Far simpler to just be high enough lvl to cast the lvl 2 spell once with 5 blasts at the same cost. Same really applies to cataclysm as well.
It also appears from battle magic that there would be a limitation in the # of battle spells that can be cast in a round of combat, to include more detailed spells such as eldritch blast?

If one looks at the thunder clap battlespell (forgot the exact name, Kirken's priests favorite) it requires a full casting period to manage the second and further blasts. Taking that as a guide line, I'd say it would be quite limited.

The Regent Guide specifies the existence and preparation of level 0 Realm Level spells, however it does not mention any. Is this something we can research, and so, can you give exampls of the (probably minor) power level of these? Could you specify Shadowspawn? * Units with the undead trait * dark fey and other creatures native to the plane of shadow.
Are Goblins or Ogres by any chance "Dark Fey" according to your rules?

If I, as a non caster landed regent, have a LT with the ritual caster feat (and thus access to realm magic) can I use the rules described at the end of the "Ley Link" paragraph in the regent guide? That would mean I can Ley Link my LT with a onetime action, and then most likely keep the link active by free actions that do not cost GB/RP. It states in the rules I may then take regent actions, but not bonus regent actions, as if I were a spell caster with the same caster level as the LT. Does that give access to create/contest/rule source? And also, since I use regent actions to prepare spells, does that mean my regent can pay the RP cost of those actions?

Some of them, mostly hobgoblins are so corrupt that they fall under the category as shadowspawn as they have truly been twisted and corrupted into dark fey and are nothing but agents of chaos and death and their new nature also grants them an unnatural bond with the shadow. As a general rule: Hobgoblins: Yes Goblins & Ogres: No There are exeptions however as the honor guards of Robogdii, including the Ogres, are most certainly dark fey.

You need a source network to create a ley link. And you need the ley link to be able to create a source with your regent. You could instead have your lt try and create the sources. But that would most likely fail, both due to inability to influence the action with anything but GB, but also opposition from other spell casters not wanting you to take their RP generating sources. (insert friendly role play reason as to why they only do it to protect you) If you had a source network (for instance, if King Oden died and you inherited his sources or your lt against the odds managed to create sources and they weren't contested before you got around to create the link) Then you would be able to proceed as you described. With the following note: Your regents ability to take magic actions would be affected by the level of the lieutenant in no other way than to set the regents caster level. Expect negative events when you branch out your domain into new holding types. (And if you branch into guild, temple or sources, then expect it to be to a greater degree than Alined and Mercia faced when they chose to rule trade.)
