I'm really not too worried about what kind of sorcerer I play. We have a Fighter, Scout, Favoured Soul and Me. I want to be a Sorcerer cause the bloodlines look cool, mostly.

To elaborate on my not wanting to play Abyssal, Draconic or Undead, Sorcerers aren't exactly melee monsters at low levels. any levels. 1d6 claws (or 1d4, i guess) do not a fighter make. I could see doing it at higher levels, but starting at level 1, with 4 1st level slots (5 if i get a Cha bonus) it seems really really bad. especially since our DM is fond of 4-7 encounters a "day".

However, I am open to those bloodlines, just like I'm open to Fey (which is melee touch to disable for 1 round); If you want to tell me about your idea.

Something I noticed: Scorching Ray (really good in 3.5) would probably be better if it was Acid or Electricity (less resist/immune, although less vulnerable too), which would work with Air/Earth elemental


Probably Sorcerer. Potentially Cleric, but that'll be a long shot.


Our group is starting a Pathfinder OGL beta rule game, probably updating once the release happens. I was wondering what people thought of Sorcerer, especially the abberant, arcane, elemental, and fey bloodlines. Also good spells, races, feats, etc. As far as I know, any 3.5 stuff will be allowed will small changes (like d4 HD -> d6 HD).

Any positive comments (read: advantages for choosing)on other bloodlines would be nice as well. The only ones i don't really want to choose are Draconic, Abyssal and Undead. Melee attacks aren't my bag.


I like the idea of being an Elemental Bloodline (Air/Earth) Scorching Ray of Acid just removes one of its worst weaknesses. (namely, the fact that it deals fire damage.)

Fey also looks like a good bloodline, but other than that, nothing REALLY jumps out at me.


I've been reading over them, they seem like great ways to provide incentive to playing a sorcerer. I was wondering, however, if any one bloodline has seemed overpowered or underpowered in the games that anyone else has played? I haven't yet, and i was wondering how they played in actual tests.
