What are the most powerful bloodlines for sorcerer (in your opionion)? (And can you combine crossblooded sorcerer with the seeker archetype? )

[Zorajin]

EDIT: Just to get something concise out of this thread if I choose to not try and be a rogue, what are the most powerful bloodlines in your opinion? That is most likely the information that will help me most from this post.

On to the original post: Since the crossblooded archetype doesn't replace but lets you choose what to get from two bloodlines I'm confused as to wether or not it counts as replacing class abilitys in a way you that locks you out of other archetypes. I was thinking of being a crossblooded seeker of shadows/arcane(sage) to get skill points, disable device and stealth.

The second question is, is it viable to be a crossblooded sorcerer for the purpose of making up for the lack of a party rogue? Is the seeker bloodline worth it just to get the Tinkering class ability? Because otherwise, I'd actually rather not be a seeker since I think the bloodline abilitys usually seem better. Then I could be crossblooded between two bloodlines I like more and get all the juicy parts to make up for lost spell selection. If I go that route, what bloodlines would be the best? And is it worth it to be crossblooded even if you pick a combination that gives you an awesome dual bloodline with all good parts or is the lower number of spells known just to harsh to make it good?

Could use some help for a Halfling Dragon Disciple build. I am helping my Nephew with this and its for Society play. Looking to build the best possible strength build we can come up with. Trying to figure out what is legal for Cross Blood, and Eldrich Heritage feat. Figure to purchase a Robes of Arcane Heritage asap in the build. Does this bump all of the blood types, or do we pick which one it bumps? Does Dragon Disciple stack with you Dragon Blood or your other Cross Blood type as well?

Thinking of something like this for build up to Dragon Disciple
1. Barbarian (Mounted Fury Archetype)
2. Fighter (Dragoon Archetype)
3. Fighter (Dragoon Archetype)
4. Sorcerer (CrossBlooded Dragon/Abyssal, or another and take Abyssal as Eldritch Heritage feat.)
5. Sorcerer
6. Sorcerer
7. Barbarian (Moment of Clarity)
8. Dragon Disciple
9. Dragon Disciple
10. Dragon Disciple
11. Dragon Disciple
12. Dragon Disciple
13. Dragon Disciple
14. Dragon Disciple
15. Dragon Disciple
16. Dragon Disciple
17. Dragon Disciple
18. ?
19. ?
20. ?

Can you take Eldritch Heritage more than once? Other Options are Shadows for cross blooded. As far as Combat Feats, I am thinking we keep it semi simple with Power Attack and Cleave, with maybe Great Cleave as well. Most likely a Falchion wielder. He is mounted, but will be a riding a Riding Dog. If its legal, will keep a few spares in case one goes down in battle. Abilities something like this.
STR 16
DEX 16
CON 14
INT 7
WIS 7
CHA 13.

Not a big caster, and easier to save against on his spells. Is not required to be a face, as we have multiple faces in party already. IF he assists that would be good enough. Does not need to be much in skills other than what he needs to be effective for himself. Also he will have Outrider racial trait for halfling.

So basically, looking to add the Strength for Dragon Disciple, the Strength eventually for Abyssal, be able to Rage. Pump Up Strength every step of the way. Outfitted with a Belt of Giant Strength. Thoughts?

i think it's univserally accepted at this point that arcane is the "best" bloodline

[hogarth]

I think there are quite a few threads on the subject of "best bloodline". E.g.:
Sorcerer's bloodlines (which is the best?)

I'd probably vote for Arcane and Fey.

Pathfinder Society caps at level 12 just so you are aware.

As for Dragon Disciple Archetypes check out the Guides to the Classes in the Advice Section. Tons of great information in there.
