Genotype

Halfblood Champions will receive an Rnumber that is the sum of the Bloodtaker’s Rnumber and Bloodgiver’s Rnumber, plus 11 (+11). This is done to avoid diluting the extremely scarce R1-R12 Genotypes. For example, if an R3 Genesis Champion gives blood and this is mixed with an R11 Lionheart Champion, this will create an R25 Halfblood Champion. If, however, two R1 Genesis Champions are used in the ritual, the Summoned Champion will receive an Rnumber of R13.

• If the total calculated is R13-99 then the Summoned champion is a Halfblood.

• If the total calculated is above R99, then the Summoned champion is known as Soulless and their Genotype is denoted as ‘unidentifiable’

Please note that Genotype is an important Fighting Trait as when fighting in Tournaments the Champion with the lowest Rnumber gets the first strike. The Champion striking first gets a small advantage in combat!
