Dragon Disciple+ Breath Weapon +Magical Knack


Rules Questions


Ok, So Dragon Breath says you use your 'Sorcerer Level' when determining damage. 'Magical Knack' says 'Caster Level'. "Blood of Dragons" (DD 1st lv) says "A dragon disciple adds his level to his sorcerer levels when determining the powers gained from his bloodline."
So let's pretend you are a Sorc 1/ Something else 4/ DD 3 with magical Knack. You are an 8th lv charachter with 3d level Sorc spell selection cast as if you were 5th lv. How many dice do you roll for your Breath attack? Also, do you get the additional 3d lv Sorc Draconic benefits- Elemental resist 5, +1 AC, or is that blended into the DD class abilities? DDs get Nat AC bumps as lv progressions, but no Elemental resistances.
Thanks.
Signed,
Powerful but Confused...


Blood of Dragons advances your 'effective sorcerer level' for Bloodline Powers by your DD level, therefore you would effectively be level 4 for calculating which powers you gain and how strong they are. (Yes, you get Dragon Resistances)

The breath weapon still functions off your [effective] sorcerer level, 4d6 in your case.

Magical Knack affects NOTHING beyond caster level. It does not change your level for class features, such as your breath weapon.

Traits and other mechanics generally ONLY do what they say they do.
