Lineages are special features that provide additional abilities, powers, and passive traits to your character, regardless of their Ancestry. For example, a player who has been bitten by a werewolf could gain access to abilities and passive traits associated with the Werewolf Lineage, regardless of their original Ancestry.

However, it's important to note that Lineages are often very powerful and can significantly alter the balance of the game. Therefore, players should only select a Lineage if it is permitted by the GM, who may restrict or toggle this feature in the campaign settings.

If you're interested in incorporating a Lineage into your character's backstory, it's important to have a conversation with your GM first to ensure that it fits within the larger context of the campaign and does not disrupt gameplay. In most cases, it is recommended that players skip this feature unless given explicit permission by their GM.
