[Vampire: the Masquerade] Why don't sires just blood bind their children to level 3 right after the embrace? Sounds like a no-brainer.

A few reasons.

Firstly, social. Someone who can only control their minions by mind controlling them from "birth" comes off as pathetic among a society of manipulators and schemers, a *Nouveau riche* in a society of old money
. For a lot of sires, this is reason enough.

Secondly, revenge. Bonds are hard to break but far from impossible- especially if a rival kindred realises what's going on and goes out of their way to. Once the bond is broken, you've got a fellow vampire with all the power and connections that implies and who now utterly hates you. Anyone who's a powerful servant is a potential threat, and this ensures a desperate need for vengeance.

Thirdly people under blood bonds tend to go nuts. There are plenty of situations where a minion who is madly, desperately in love with you above all other considerations and refuses to spend time away from you is not especially helpful. If nothing else, too many blood bonded minions become incredibly annoying.

To be fair, some vampires *do* just blood bond their childer. But the above are the reasons it's not universal.
