Spellbinder Wizard + Eldritch Heritage.

[Valdras86]

Hello all,

Just wondering, if you take the Spellbinder Archetype, which removes your Wizard's Arcane Bond, then at level 3 take Eldritch Heritage with the Arcane bloodline, and gain a arcane bond, is it still useful if you select an item?

Arcane Bond (Su): At 1st level, you gain an arcane bond, as a wizard equal to your sorcerer level. Your sorcerer levels stack with any wizard levels you possess when determining the powers of your familiar or bonded object. Once per day, your bonded item allows you to cast any one of your spells known (unlike a wizard’s bonded item, which allows him to cast any one spell in his spellbook). This ability does not allow you to have both a familiar and a bonded item.

The bolded part makes me think it is not, and it's a better idea to take the familar, or, you know, not try and make a build around it.

I think it would still work. Technically, the spells in your spellbook are your spells known. This seems to be supported in the wording of several areas of the rules.

More importantly, can you have both the Spellbinder's arcane bond and a bonded item/familiar from Eldritch Heritage or another class? RAW I believe this is okay because I have only seen having both a bonded item and familiar as explicitly forbidden, but RAI it seems like characters aren't meant to have two arcane bonds, even from different sources.

Half Elf wizards just became a lot more interesting to me. Access to Spellbinder via the [elf] subtype, and the ability to get a familiar with this feat, plus Paragon Surge. I like it.
