It isn't required that the next generation be blood-related to the original oathbound - these pledges are often passed to heirs acknowledged before the ruler of a freehold. These pledges also require the expenditure of a dot of Willpower. The oath lasts for a number of generations equal to the Wyrd of the oathtaker that spent the willpower dot originally.
|
|
|
|
| * These pledge components always add to the base cost of invoking the pledge.
