Short question about the crossblooded archetype (A crossblooded sorcerer selects two different bloodlines) and races like the Tiefling and the Genie-Kin with their Fiendish Sorcery/Elemental Affinity which allows the character to treat her charisma as 2 points higher if she chooses the corresponding bloodline (abyssal, infernal or elemental):
If my Tiefling is a crossblooded sorcerer with the abyssal and the aberrant bloodline (for example) how do I treat the Fiendish Sorcery trait? 2 points higher charisma for both bloodlines? Only on certain spells? Does it work? Will my Tiefling's head explode? I'm curious and confused, please help me!
Your CHR stat would be considered 2 points higher for you sorcerer spell casting and any fiendish blood line powers that uses CHR. If the Aberrant bloodline power is based of CHR is wouldn't get this bonus. That's how I see it anyways.
+2 effective CHA for all abyssal Bloodline effects, and for all spells cast as Sorcerer (including those gained from the aberrant Bloodline, these are spells cast as a Sorcerer as well, and all those spells gained normally get the effective +2 CHA as well..)
Hmm... RAW say 'all sorcerer class abilities'... which would, by wording, include those gained from the Aberrant bloodline... which, I must admit, does not sit too well with me, flavor-wise. On the other hand, you pay a hefty price (Spells Known) for dual-blooding, so I don't see a balance problem.
Quick question for those who know it all: In case the second bloodline powers do NOT gain the Charisma bonus effect... what about a dual-bloodes Tiefling with abyssal and infernal bloodline? *ducks for cover*
