Does "Fiendish Sorcery"-trait apply to bloodrager and / or arcanist?

[Spikeveil]

Greetings,

Considering that "Fiendish Sorcery" -trait was published before ACG, my question is:

Does the tiefling's racial trait "Fiendish Sorcery" apply its benefit to bloodrager and/or the arcanist with the "Bloodline Development"-exploit, if the chosen bloodline is Infernal/Abyssal ?

I'm aware of these threads, where the question has been dealt for each class separately:

For the arcanist here and for the bloodrager here.

I don't follow these forums very intensively, so just asking in case I have missed some recent official (or even semi-official) ruling about this. Similarly as the OP in the bloodrager thread, I also have a friend, who "did mention that Fiendish Sorcerer was updated to include Bloodrager bloodlines in somewhere."

If the answer for the question is no, I'm also curious if someone has any idea where this misconception has originated from. Or is it just one of these randoms but very pervasive misconceptions?

Thanks for your time.

Fiendish Sorcery: Tiefling sorcerers with the Abyssal or Infernal bloodlines treat their Charisma score as 2 points higher for all sorcerer class abilities.

Unfortunately, the ability was insufficiently future proofed. A GM might allow it, but as written:

1) Only a sorcerer gains the benefit, and
2) The benefit applies only to sorcerer class abilities.

Thank you for the answer. In a sense, I can understand this, because with Variant Heritage being nowadays free (I assume?), the bloodragers have plenty of other options, some of which are actually better than the original combination of ability bonuses. As for the arcanists, Charisma is not similarly critical as it is for sorcerers, so definitely the penalty to it doesn't invalidate tiefling arcanists. And of course, since the arcanist have fast Will anyway, why not use Variant Heritage and go for the Daemon-Spawn...

The arcanist is gaining the bloodline as a sorcerer, so they probably would. The bloodrager bloodline is an entirely different thing though, and never mentions sorcerer, so I doubt they would.
