Eldritch Heritage

[Nuku]

Does this feat give you the arcana of the bloodline?

If not, does anything?

[mplindustries]

Eldritch Heritage never gives the arcana. The only way to get the arcana is to take a level of Sorcerer.

[blackbloodtroll]

It can, if you choose the Arcane Bloodline, which you can, if you have the right Skill Focus feat.

[Nuku]

Oh, wait, so you mean instead of picking the level 1 attack power, take the arcana?

Wait, you mean the arcane bloodline specifically, I gather?

Why is that? The feat only says you gain the 1st level power.

[blackbloodtroll]

Oh, I misread that.

No, you do not gain the Arcana.

[MrSin]

It happens. I see it all the time.

Heres a fun question to add, how does the feat interact with abilities that are both a bloodline power and a 1st level arcana.

[Azten]

If it counts as an arcana, Eldritch Heritage shouldn't give you the power, beause it can't give you an arcana.

[Nuku]

Ok, so sorcerer is the only way to get it then, I guess?

[MrSin]

Pretty much. Its not often you can emulate a class feature through a feat or item.

[Nuku]

You can smite, you can rage, you can get favored enemies. You can certainly cast loads of spells. You can inspire, be a knowledge masta, and sneak attack.

A lot of class features are repeatable via feats/items. Heck, you can get a bloodline, this is just one bit of it you can't get at, and that's ok.

Please elaborate on smite, rage, favored enemy, and sneak attack. I really want those with just feats. How do you do it? :)
