I'm reading through the Beta Playtest softcover and I love what has been done. I'm wondering though of two classes.
Will the Barbarian have totems again or is that what the Rage Powers replace?
Some Bloodlines for the Sorcerer come from beings of long life. Does this long life confer to the Sorcerer at all? Maybe, "Your grandfather's grandfather was the son of Mariam Baspartis who claimed the father was a dragon seducer in human form." Dragons have long life. Couldn't a trace of that trickle down the bloodline. "Because of this, you will age more slowly than other humans and possibly live for hundreds of years. It's hard to say since no documentation of such offspring exists." It could be the a bloodline like draconic or celestial or undead add 50%, 100%, 200% to this character's lifetime.
Just thinking out loud.
Barbarian Totems weren't in 3.5's Player's Handbook/Dungeon Master's Guide, which is what Pathfinder is replacing, so I wouldn't expect to see them addressed at all (they were in Unearthed Arcana, I beleive, and there's no reason you can't use Unearthed Arcana WITH Pathfinder). If you buy the Player's Guide to Rise of the Runelords, there are Feats there which are Tribal Totems which ANY Shoanti(Barbarian) character can take, not just Barbarian CLASS PCs.
You can certainly make a good case for some sort of longer life with certain Sorcerous Bloodlines, but I really don't see that making it into the core rules... It sounds like a nice house-rule, though, that adds a bit of flavor to the Sorcerous Bloodlines (the Destined BL becomes EVEN more crap-tastic in comparison, but I don't think that's the fault of your idea :-)
