Sorcerer and Arcane Bond Bloodline Power


Rules Questions


If i am to interpret this Bloodline Power for a sorcerer as far as a bonded item is concerned, a sorcerer can cast once per day a single spell that he knows from his limited(compared to a wizard) list of spells known, without being able to modify it with metamagic feats.

If his bonded item gets destroyed or not worn or held, he gains the drawbacks of it like a wizard does(Concentration DC 20+spell lvl)whenever he tries to cast a spell?

If this is the case then it is more a burden than a bonus as a bloodline power considering the limited list of spells known for a sorcerer in my opinion. Of course having a familiar as a sorcerer is pretty cool but a bonded item for a sorcerer doesnt seems like a viable choice for me.

Am i missing something here? Maybe the bonded item could make you cast any spell the sorcerer can cast from the sorcerer/wizard list? I guess that would be broken:(

Thanks in advance!


No. It just gives him an extra casting of a spell he knows.

I don't like bonded items for sorcerers personally. I would have gotten the familiar and later upgraded to the improved familiar.

If you are worried about the bonded item being destroyed get something like a ring. That seems more difficult to steal/destroy than sword or wand.


Yeah, bonded object is a bit underwhelming for a sorceror - it's basically just +1 spell/day of your highest spell level.

Though don't forget that you still get to enchant the object without needing a feat for it, though that's probably also a fairly minor benefit.


The familiar can use wands if it has hands, and you have ranks in UMD. If the familiar dies you don't take any negative backlash from it either.
