Consecrated blood inheritance

[Naraga]

Simple question, if I have the consecrated blood trait and my child does not. Does that mean it's not my child?

Oh? that is interesting doesn't the trait only give you a precentage for favorable traits.

Maybe he does not belong to your dynasty anymore, but to the dynasty of your spouse?

If that's not the case, it sounds like a bug.

No, you're confusing it with "strong blood" dynasty modifier. Consecrated blood just gives you opinion bonus from temple vassals.

Did you consecrate the bloodline after the child was born? That's about the only thing I can think of, but I think it would still pass to your child in that case.

Some screenshots might help, but I'd lean toward the kid not being yours. You could have your spymaster search for secrets in your capital to see if they can discover one on your spouse/child regarding the kid's parentage

All your living children should get the trait, not just the ones born after the decision.

It's a dynasty trait, so the simplest solution is that the child is his but belongs to the spouse's dynasty due to the wrong kind of marriage.

Odd, when I had it last time, even children not born into my dynasty were getting it, as long as they were a descendant of a character with the trait.

I only remember that because I was using it as a way to know at a glance if there'd be potential inbreeding with children of neighboring ruler's, instead of trying to remember every realm I had married someone off to.

You might be right and I've misremembered. I didn't have that one for a while

I would say yes.

The ruler taking the decision gets the Paragon (Savior) trait, and only his descendants get the Consecrated Blood (Divine Blood) added instantly. Of course it is also inherited to future descendants.

Otherwise, perhaps the child is not of your faith?

I agree. It's not bound to your "dynasty" but to your gen pool.

Actually Consecrate Bloodline seems to be tied to your dynasty, not your genetics. At least according to this Decision's in-game descriptor:

Consecrate Bloodline
By showing sufficient devotion and gathering the favour the clergy, I can ensure my dynasty is forever enshrined as a holy bloodline under diving protection

Check if your kid is considered a part of your dynasty. Bastards are often still considered dynasty members (lucky bastards), provided either one of their parents were dynastic members.

The exception is when your ruler's wife was not dynasty, and she was dating some rogue also from outside your dynasty. But that shouldn't really show up until you've succeed in hat random scheme to challenge your wife's fidelity.

So says the desriptor, but as I could witness for many times, this isn't true. I got grand-grandchildren down the line of my regular married daughter who aren't my dynasty beeing of consecrate bloodline.

Another fail for logic then. First quantum physics, now this.

Yeah, the flavor text talks about your Dynasty, but the consecrated line of perks is unique in that they are inherited (at 100% rate) to anyone that has blood relation to the character that completed the decision. Basically, anyone that has the perk will pass it to their children, regardless of Dynasty. I would assume this means they also have to be legitimate. So if you have the perk, or are the character that completed the decision, and your kid doesn't have it, it's most likely that kid isn't actually yours.

Actually, I have to be in the minority here to let people know that sometimes, this is a bug. I know, because when I've used the console to create a pregnancy, I know who the parents are. And especially, when I'm the female character who becomes pregnant and gestates the child. I know it's mine. And sometimes, when my blood is consecrated, the child of my dynasty is born without it. I have no explanation for how this is, only that it does happen as a bug, and that it's happened to me more than once.
