Sorcerer Bloodline inequity.


Product Discussion


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

Whilst going through the extra sorcerer bloodlines in Advanced Players Guide, I noticed the starsoul, unlike every other bloodline in the core book or APG has 10 options to choose its bonus feats from, as opposed to 8.

Quoting APG p 140, Starsoul/Bonus Feats
"Blind-Fight, Craft Rod, Dodge, Endurance, Improved Counterspell, Improved Iron Will, Iron Will, Quicken Spell, Skill Focus (Perception), Toughness."

Was this deliberate - and if not, which two feats are not meant to be on their list to choose from?

(Removed bit about Undead as apparently I'm blind)

Umm, yes they are.

As for Starsoul, there isn't parity in everything.

8 or 10, is it really such a big deal, given you can only choose 3 at most and that's assuming you stay single class till 19th level?

You can hit the FAQ button to bring it to the attention of the devs. They are the only ones who would know.

If you're going for parity, you might as well go the whole distance. Is it some huge issue that will unbalance Pathfinder forevermore? Of course not.

If they're supposed to have two more feat options, that would lead me to believe they're underpowered in some other aspect if this was deliberate. If they aren't, I'd just as soon know.

It's probably more of a matter that they only considered these 8 feats thematically appropriate for the bloodline. After all, it's still more than twice the amount you can actually choose.
