Alright, Dragon disciple advances your bloodline powers as you level in it. What if you have an archetype that trades out your 9th level bloodline power for something. do you actually bypass the archetype changing out the bloodline power, or do you still get it through dragon disciple?


Greetings, fellow traveller.

No RAW here, only reasoning. Something you don't have in the first place cannot be advanced. Thus, I'd rule as GM that you don't gain/advance your bloodline.

What combination are you thinking of?

One of the requirements is that if you have sorcerer levels, that they must be the draconic bloodline. If you don't have the draconic bloodline, then you can't be a dragon disciple. If you're a crossblooded/wildblooded sorcerer and a dragon disciple, then that's technically houserule territory (since those archetypes were made without the dragon disciple in mind). You'd have to ask your DM. However, I'd say you get the 9th level power as normal if you're crossblooded/wildblooded.


Yeah, I agree, submit2me (must be your name, eh?).
Per RAW you need to be a vanilla draconic sorc - since I don't own the UM and UC, I was curious if there do exist archetypes which might be viable to go that route nonetheless.

i'm talking about razmiran priest. my player was thinking of taking that and it replaces it 9th level bloodline power. and he was going to take draconic bloodline. since it says dragon disciple advances your bloodline powers, atfter sorc 5/DD4 would he get breath, as per draconic bloodline, or get the razmiran priest power as per his archetype?
