Effect of consecrated blood

[Jolamphibien]

After the consecrate bloodline decision, from which character do I benefit the +10 Temple Vassal opinion and what are the best doctrines/tenets of faith about that ?

[NicouLenny]

That Decision grants you:
* +500 Renown
* +25% Fervor
* Gain the Paragon trait if not Head of Faith
* Gain the The Savior trait if Head of Faith

The more devoted your actual character is, the higher his level of devotion becomes. This directly influences the opinion of the clergy of the faith that the character practices.
Achievable Levels of Devotion
Level Level of Devotion Clergy Opinion
1 Dutiful —
2 Faithful +5
3 Devoted Servant +10
4 Paragon of Virtue +20
5 Religious Icon +30

it works equally well with all faith/doctrines. None is better than another
The head of faith gets the savior trait that gives +10 for/from the same faith and all the family ( not only the children) gets the divine blood trait (+5 opinion)

[Jolamphibien]

Thanks.

As an Asatru I reformed the faith several times (making somes "tests"). The head of faith is curently spiritual, so the effect of the consecrated blood should be +10 opinion temple vassal opinion.
However, when i my let the cursor on the opinion of my godi or my fylkir (Asatru clergy members), the bonus don't appear in the detailed list. Just the bonus from the level of devotion and some other traits.
It seems not be linked to the clerical tradition doctrine.
I should try to switch the clerical appointment doctrine from temporal to spiritual the next time.
For the moment, the only advantage of the consacrate bloodline decision seems to become head of faith, and inherit the savior/divine blood trait (same faith opinion increased, county conversion speed increased).

Maybe it's a bug or maybe do you have a other explanation ?

Sorry for the bad English.

Don't worry about your english, mine is not better.
Ásatrú is one of the easiests, with Tengrism. I have a save with one that reformed the faith and got the traits here, so here it is :
- Changed Blót to resilient faith
(I think blöt as it is called in game is norvegian, the word in norront is blót)
- equality, pluralist, laïque clergy
-Monogamy, no bastards,divorce must be approved, marriage with cousins
-Head of faith: Temporal - Me, Fylkirat ásatrú

+10 from everyone of the same faith, not only the clergy.

Keep properties of the clergy (doesn't count towards your domain limits)
Clergical functions :
Recruiting
Marriage allowed
women only
Recruitable and revokable

All sins are criminal

You adjust as you like (read the small lines) but the only important thing is the temporal head of faith.

Maybe it is because you have spiritual clergy, I don't think it is a bug. I never tried it because I don't see why I would keep an incompetent head of faith, maybe a sinner or a blasphemator just to make him like me as much as all the other fidels. I did all the job, created the religion and expanded it. It is mine. I would prefer to abdicate the title of emperor than the Filkyrat Asatrú one.

For the tengrism it works exactly the same, as weird as it is to imagine a head of faith in this religion. But in the game it is possible

What is the affect of Concentrated Blood for a ruler who for example is the king of England with bishops? In my opinion it doesn't help with your relation with them or the pope at all. Can anyone verify?

Would consecrated blood help the ruler with this trait with catholic prince bishops (in HRE)?

I am going to test but figured I would put a place holder here.

[Saint Maurice]

I have verified that in the catholic faith the bishop on your council is effected by the consecrated blood trait (from the Consecrate Bloodline decision). The Pope is not affected by this trait (wishful thinking).

I did not test this on other faiths. I was confused and thought only religious vassals (like the prince bishops in the HRE) were effected by this trait but this trait does effect the opinion of the bishop on your council by +10.

One extra benefit is that it marks who is really your family and who is just a distant relation. you dont have too look up family trees if you are trying to avoid inbreeding or want to reinforce or keep claims inside the family.

Great point. Wish there was a drop down (sort option) for pinned(tagged) characters when you do your people searches instead of a separate little menu.
