![]() I've been looking, and can't find an answer (or even if it's been asked / clarified). Does the activation of one's bloodline power cost 1 or 2 Eldritch Pool points? Under "Bloodline," it says"To use any ability that normally functions when he's in a bloodrage, an eldritch scion must spend 1 point from his eldritch pool." However, under "Eldritch Pool," it says, "As a swift action, he can spend 1 point of eldritch energy to enter a state of mystical focus for 2 rounds. This allows him to use abilities from his bloodrager bloodline as though he were in a bloodrage, though he gains none of the other benefits or drawbacks of bloodraging." So, do I spend a point to enter a Mystic Focus, then another on the next round to use a bloodline power (that can now only last for one round, because you can only spend one point per round)? Or is the phrasing referring to the same Eldritch Pool point? I really, really want to like the Eldritch Scion. But it's so poorly written. I almost feel as though it would have been better done as a variant class (a la Samurai or Ninja) that mixes Fighter and Sorceror, rather than Fighter and Wizard, than as an archetype. ![]()
![]() I was looking over the Eldritch Scion, and saw it doesn't have Eschew Materials. Both Sorceror and Bloodrager - the classes it gets the bloodlines/inspiration from - grant this feat, so it would seem that thematically Eldritch Scion should, too. Granted, having a spell component pouch pretty much covers it, and is an easy fix, plus a lot of GMs don't even bother with material components rules unless it's the big stuff, but it still seems an odd omission. Why was it omitted, or is that just an oversight? ![]()

![]() Wow, what a big thread. I haven't flipped through it all, but I thought I'd add my name to the list, if you don't mind sending it. I want to use it to introduce my daughter and some of her friends to the game, and though this would be a great break in module. :D Anyway, I'm tumakhunter (at) gmail, and thank you very much, for this and for your work on it. |
