Bloodline beyond sorcerers ?


Alpha Release 2 General Discussion

I found the bloodline fluff amazing. I really could envision noble or even royal families with a celestial or draconic bloodline. Were every king can trace his line to a patron Solar of the of the empire, or to a legendary dragon. Hidden clans of indiviuals with direct decendency to giants or demons. A important family of rangers that can trace back to fairies.

Even if there is only real impact if one of them turn to be a sorcerer, it is something interesting fluff-wise. Maybe in the future there could be some feats that lend some love to bloodlined people who don´t is a sorcerer, but i guess is to early for the core.

I know there was something similar before (unearthed arcana i guess), but i liked more of the Pathfinder Mechanic. I have some questions: There is any problem with a dragon sorcerer getting a draconic bloodline ? Or a Tiefling sorcerer with Celestial Bloodline ? Some discrepanses can be confusing.

I wonder if we couldn't have bloodlines reproduced as they are from 3.5 for non-sorcerers, with the Sorcerer class description indicating how a given bloodline works differently for the sorcerer (keeping the current Pathfinder bloodline effects for sorcerer). That way they're available to anyone but you keep the bloodline flavor of the updated sorcerer, which I like a lot.


You could do it by making variant character classes, replacing some of the original class features with the bloodline ones.

Bloodlines are SRD and can easily be found at d20srd.com and Unearthed Arcana

So yeah I imagine they could be incorporated. I'd love to see environmental and elemental variants included some day too.
