Draconic Bloodline + Dragon Disciple ability stacking


Rules Questions


I have done a search but was not able to locate any results based on this question.
If I was to make a PC and went 10/10 sorcerer/DD
It says that a 9th lvl DD:

Wings (Su): At 9th level, a dragon disciple gains the wings bloodline power, even if his level does not yet grant that power. Once his level is high enough to grant this ability through the bloodline, the dragon disciple's speed increases to 90 feet.

So if you basically add 50% of the original speed to your existing speed for flying.
My question is if the wings allow this, should the same be for the Blindsense, a DD gets Blindsense 30ft at lvl 5, and 60ft at Draconic bloodline 20, it doesn’t state this anywhere I could find but wouldn’t this make the Blindsense 75ft, or is there some unwritten rule somewhere that stacking powers have to be equal in which you gain and extra 50% boost on said power.

Blindsense (Ex): At 5th level, the dragon disciple gains blindsense with a range of 30 feet. Using nonvisual senses the dragon disciple notices things he cannot see. He usually does not need to make Perception checks to notice and pinpoint the location of creatures within range of his blindsense ability, provided that he has line of effect to that creature.

Power of Wyrms (Su): At 20th level, your draconic heritage becomes manifest. You gain immunity to paralysis, sleep, and damage of your energy type. You also gain blindsense 60 feet.

Gaining Wings and having your fly speed improved is specifically call out where improving your Blindsense is not. Also DD gets 60ft Blindsense at 10th as well, so you're getting Blindsense 60ft twice with sorc10/DD10 but it still only counts as 60ft, which in itself is powerful enough
