Eldritch Heritage and Robe of Arcane heritage.

[Desmond Shannon 762]

Does anyone know if Eldritch Heritage ( feat ) and Robe of Arcane Heritage actually work together? Or do you need to have sorcerer levels? ( sorry for being such a pest )

When a sorcerer dons a robe of arcane heritage, the stitching pulls itself apart and reweaves to match her particular sorcerer bloodline. The wearer treats her sorcerer level as 4 higher than normal for the purpose of determining what bloodline powers she can use

i would say it most likely does not...

if you dont have sorcerer levels then you have nothing to gain..

So you just put a sorcerer level in and itll work then? Seems a bit strange though honestly to me.

Eldritch heritage states that:

Ultimage Magic, Eldritch Heritage wrote:

You gain the first-level bloodline power for the selected bloodline. For purposes of using that power, treat your sorcerer level as equal to your character level – 2, even if you have levels in sorcerer. You do not gain any of the other bloodline abilities.

And the robe of arcane heritage states that:

Ultimate Equipment, Robe of Arcane Heritage wrote:

The wearer treats her sorcerer level as 4 higher than normal for the purpose of determining what bloodline powers she can use and their effects.

I would say that a character with the eldritch heritage feat and the robe of arcane heritage would treat his or her sorcerer level for the first-level bloodline power gained from eldritch heritage as his or her character level + 2 (character level – 2 for the feat, +4 for the robe).

It does seem like a bit of a gray area though.

Greetings, Desmond! Welcome to the Pathfinder Society General Discussion Forum.

As your question is more of a Rules Question, I'll flag your OP to be moved to the appropriate forum for a better shot at getting answered.

Didn't we have a three week argument about this just two months ago? As I remember; the debate ended inconclusively.

My local GM in his home game rules that the Robe of Arcane Heritage does indeed work with Eldritch Heritage; but if you are a sorcerer it only works with one bloodline. Either your class bloodline or your feat bloodline; chosen when first worn and cannot be changed. Keeps the robe from becoming too powerful.

But that is a house ruling that has been neither confirmed or countered by Paizo.

Not sure why it would not.

The Robes do not give you spells earlier, do not effect arcana. All they do is improved what the feat gives you.
