Fiddling around with the amount of RP that a regent can spend on a domain
action definitely makes for an interesting aspect of regency and
regents. I`ve used it mostly to reflect different kinds of shared
rulership models; partners, senate, etc. but I do add character level as a
factor in earning RP. I did that originally for a non-BR campaign in which
there was no bloodline, but adding character level to bloodline in BR also
proved to work just fine.
Whether one uses character level as a factor in earning RP or not when
spending them one could use bloodline strength, character or class levels,
an ability score as the basis, any combination of those factors, or any
combination of them in relation to the number, role or style of government
used by the regents who control the domain. For instance, a “coven” style
of rulership controlling a realm made up of source holdings. It might have
six members, the chief of whom can spend up to his bloodline score on
domain actions, while the rest can only spend their charisma score modifiers.
