I love this class and the way it works, I just couldn't help but feel it was missing a little something. I'd like to suggest adding these talents to the class:

Normal: Ki Pool, Shadow Clone, Smoke Bomb

Advanced: See the Unseen

I think these powers would mesh very well with the idea of a character that can "get into combat, deal with the target, and get back out again".

Thanks for the opportunity to playtest this product!

No. Metamagic Adept becomes that ability. It doesn't say "at 20th level, when you get Arcane Apotheosis, you lose this ability [Metamagic Adept]."

Honestly, I'm not sure why that line is even in there.

They could have just as easily put, "At 20th level you can use this ability any number of times a day." and Arcane Apotheosis could have been reduced to "Whenever you use magic items that require charges, you can instead expend spell slots to power the item. For every three levels of spell slots that you expend, you consume one less charge when using a magic item that expends charges."

However, as it is written, at 20th level I get Arcane Apotheosis as long as I have Metamagic Adept. Alternatively if I'm wearing a Robe of Arcane Heritage at Lv. 16 and MMA turns into AA, then if I take off or lose the robe I lose AA and don't regain MMA. Talk about rough!

Crossblooded Sorcerer already gets poo'd on enough with the -2 Will save and knowing one less spell at each level. It doesn't seem gamebreaking for them to get something nicer than minor versatility and a second arcana.

Unless someone would like to direct a dev towards this topic to tell us otherwise, my group will be playing it as written. Thanks, again.

Spoke to my playgroup and GM today. We came to the consensus that since it isn't specifically addressed in any way going by the RAW is the way to go. Metamagic Adept is automatically replaced by Arcane Apotheosis at Lv. 20 no matter what and New Arcana only benefits you if you're 9th, 13th, or 17th level while you have it. Thanks for the input.

I'm playing as a Crossblooded sorcerer and chose Arcane as one of my bloodlines. Since being Crossblooded allows you to take lower-level bloodline abilities at higher levels and/or take abilities that would normally branch into another one, it seems like some odd things can come about.

My first question has to do with the Metamagic Adept ability.

Metamagic Adept (Ex): At 3rd level, you can apply any one metamagic feat you know to a spell you are about to cast without increasing the casting time. You must still expend a higher-level spell slot to cast this spell. You can use this ability once per day at 3rd level and one additional time per day for every four sorcerer levels you possess beyond 3rd, up to five times per day at 19th level. At 20th level, this ability is replaced by arcane apotheosis.

Does this mean that if I select Metamagic Adept as my 9th level power, at 20th level if I select a bloodline power that isn't Arcane Apotheosis, Arcane Apotheosis replaces Metamagic Adept anyways?

For my second question, if I select New Arcana as my 20th level bloodline power, what of these would be true?

A.) I get to pick one spell, up to 9th level, to add to my list of spells known.
B.) I get to pick up to one 4th level spell (9th level sorcerer), up to one 6th level spell (13th level sorcerer), and up to one 8th level spell (17th level sorcerer) to add to my list of spells known.
C.) I get to pick 3 spells, up to 9th level, to add to my list of spells known.
D.) I don't get to add any spells to my list of spells known since I am not 9th, 13th, or 17th level.

I apologize if these questions have already been addressed, but I used the search function and didn't see any relevant posts. Thanks!
