In a couple of discussions about using the Scarred Lands with Pathfinder, one of the consistent issues that has come up is the lack of a hunter themed sorcerer bloodline to use with followers of Hrinruuk. So I just threw together a suggestion called the Hunt Child bloodline (Now renamed Child of the Hunt). Anyway, look it over and let me know what you think. I am pretty sure that there is lots of room for improvement.
Child of the Hunt Bloodline
Class Skill: Stealth, Survival
Bonus Spells: True Strike (3rd), Locate Object (5th), Haste (7th), Locate Creature (9th), Animal Growth (11th), Transformation (13th), Ethereal Jaunt (15th), Screen (17th), Shape Change (19th)
Bonus Feats: Agile Maneuvers, Blind Fight, Deadly Aim, Diehard, Endurance, Spell Penetration, Stealthy, Toughness
Bloodline Arcana: Whenever you cast a spell that allows a saving throw to avoid the spell effect against a target that is flat footed, you receive a +1 arcana bonus to the DC of that saving throw.
Bloodline Powers
Force Arrow (Sp): At 1st level, as a standard action, you unleash a bolt of pure force energy targeting any single foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack. This bolt inflicts 1d6 points of damage +1 for every two sorcerer levels that you possess. This is a force effect. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier.
Track (Ex): At 3rd level you add half your level to Survival skill checks made to follow or identify tracks.
Beast Kin (Su): At 9th level you gain a +1 bonus to natural armor, a +2 bonus to Stealth skill checks, and gains an animal companion as if you were a druid of your level -4. At 13th and 17th levels these bonuses increase by +1.
Beast Rider (Su): At 15th level you gain an empathic link with your animal companion. This link has a range of 1 mile and allows you to communicate with your companion and sense everything that they sense. While you are “riding” your companion it will not go further then one mile from you. You remain helpless while you are in communication although any damage will break the link.
Master of the Hunt (Su): At 20th level, you become the personification of the hunt. You gain DR 10/magic, you can see perfectly in all forms of darkness, continuous Freedom of Movement, and any target that you confirm a critical hit against is considered flat-footed against you for the next round.
I don't have any real constructive thoughts....but Child of the Hunt bloodline might work better. The way it is now....I was thinking I was going to see something completely wacko when I read the thread title.

The Beast Kin improvements only improve the NA and the Stealth skill. However, the Boon Companion feat will help you with the effective Druid level As for just having one class skill, I am not entirely sure that it works for what I was aiming for here. Both Stealth and Survival are important to hunters. On the other hand, you are exactly right that it gives twice as much as any other bloodline, so the list should be trimmed down.
