I'm converting an old setting of mine into pathfinder, and it worked out very well, except the bloodline system. Without getting into to many details (At least one of my players frequents this site) my sorcerers receive their power from vast reservoirs of arcane might. So I've made my own alternative to the bloodline system, complete with 15 choices.
I thought I would post it up here in case anyone was interested in a similar system, but fair warning. These abilities are deliberately more powerful than the standard bloodlines. My games tend to be heavy on intrigue and investigation, and averaging only about one or two combats a day. Since that style of campaign heavily favors wizards I'm trying to even things out a bit.
Some of the sources are deliberatly vauge, as they will have plot relevance later in my game. (Most notably the Empathy source.) As the players advance through my game they will discover more about the true nature of magic, and I need to keep certain details secret. By that very same token, I'm keeping the capstone abilities secret as well. As for the bonus feats, I simply haven't had time yet to slog through the list of available feats and pick the appropriate ones. Any suggestions on that front would be appreciated. At any rate, for your edification, are the sources:
Studious
Some Sorcerers ties to magic are faint. In fact if it weren’t for hard work and practice, they may have been incapable of any magic at all. Hard work and sheer determination have unlocked arcane secrets that were nearly out of their grasp.
Class Skills: Knowledge (Any)
Bonus Spells: Magic Aura, Locate Object, Arcane Sight, Aura of the Unremarkable, Baleful Polymorph, Globe of Invulnerability, Mage’s Sword,
Polymorph Any Object, Wish.
Bonus Feats: All Metamagic Feats, Combat Casting, Improved Counterspell, Scribe Scroll, Spell Focus Greater Spell Focus, Skill
Focus (Knowledge Arcana)
Arcana: Whenever you apply a metamagic feat to a spell that increases the slot used by at least one level, increase the spell's DC by +1. This bonus does not stack with itself and does not apply to spells modified by the Heighten Spell feat.
Trap Rune: At 1st level, as a standard action, you can sketch a single, nearly invisible magical rune on any 5-foot-square solid surface. When you create a rune, pick one of the following energy types: acid, cold, electricity, or fire. While the rune is active, the next creature other than you who steps on or touches the rune's area causes the rune to explode. The rune's explosion deals a number of points of energy damage equal to 1d8 + 1 per sorcerer level you possess to anything in its square. A Reflex saving throw halves the damage (DC 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier). The rune is considered a magical trap for the purpose of perceiving it or disabling it. The DC for both Perception and Disable Device checks is the same as the Reflex saving throw to halve the damage. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. Each rune lasts for 24 hours or until discharged.
At 3rd level, you can add any one spell from the sorcerer/wizard spell list to your list of spells known. This spell must be of a level that you are capable of casting. You can also add one additional spell at 9th level 13th level and 17th level.
At 9th level, you can inscribe runes on your body. This function as the Scribe Scroll item creation feat, but can only be used to scribe runes on your body. You alone can use your runes as if they were magic scrolls. The total number of spell levels you can inscribe on your body equals your Charisma modifier + 1/2 your sorcerer level. You only pay 1/4th the item cost instead of 1/2.
At 15th level, pick one school of magic. The DC for any spells you cast from that school increases by +2. This bonus stacks with the bonus granted by Spell Focus.
Temporal
At times, life appears to be going in slow motion for you. You frequently suffer déjà vu, and can often see patterns others can’t.
Class Skill: Perception.
Bonus Spells: Anticipate Peril, Oppressive Boredom, Haste, Calcific Touch, Permanency, Contingency, Prediction of Failure, Moment of Prescience, Time Stop.
Bonus Feats: Improved Initiative, Quickened Spell
Arcana: Once per a day, when you are made helpless by an enemy, you may cast a spell as an immediate action.
At 1st level, whenever you and your allies roll for initiative, you can grant one ally within 30 feet the ability to roll twice and take either result. This decision is made before results are revealed. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your charisma modifier. At 3rd level you can gain a glimpse of the future, granting you an insight bonus to a single d20 roll equal to your charisma once per a day.
At 3rd level, once per a day you can cast a spell with a casting time of a full action as a standard action, and a spell with a casting time of 1 round as a full action.
At 9th level, you gain the ability to instantly recover from most harmful effects by temporarily aging yourself decades in a matter of moments. As a standard action, you can shift your effective age to the next highest aging step (for example, from adulthood to middle age). Each time you do this, any debilitating condition or effect currently affecting you that initially allowed a Will or Fortitude saving throw immediately ends. When you age yourself in this way, you take the normal penalties associated with growing older but gain none of the benefits. You cannot use this power to age beyond venerable, recover hit point damage, or remove effects that did not or do not allow a Will or Fortitude saving throw to negate. You return to your actual age 24 hours after the last time you used this ability, and all penalties to ability scores as a result of advanced age are then removed.
At 15th level, you can emit a 30- foot aura of repetition for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. All enemies within this aura must make a Will save each round or repeat their action from the previous round (if possible). Creatures that attacked on the previous round attack again on the following round, although they may change their target. Creatures that moved the previous round must take the same move action again, although they may change their route. Creatures that drank a potion must do so again, even they can only drink from an empty bottle. Actions that cannot be repeated are wasted. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Spatial

Class Skill: Escape Artist

At 1st level, as a standard action, you manipulate small objects to make
Combat Manuvers. You can make a single disarm, steal, or trip combat maneuver on any opponent within 15 feet, using your sorcerer level plus your Charisma modifier in place of your normal CMB. You can use this power a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier.
At 3rd level, your reach increases by 5 feet whenever you are making a melee touch attack. This ability does not otherwise increase your threatened area. At 11th level, this bonus to your reach increases to 10 feet. At 17th level, this bonus to your reach increases to 15 feet.
At 9th level, you can surround yourself with a mobile, 10-foot-radius emanation of mutable reality. This rippling distortion is similar to solid fog but does not provide concealment or block line of sight. Your movement is not slowed by this aura. Attacks from outside the aura suffer a 20% miss chance against targets inside the aura. You may use this ability a number of rounds per day equal to your sorcerer level, though this duration need not be continuous.
At 15th level, your caster level is increased by 3 when casting spells of the teleportation subschool. In addition, once per day you can teleport a single creature within 30 feet into the void of space if it fails a Will save. The save DC is equal to 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier. The target can attempt a new saving throw as a full-round action each round to return. While trapped in the airless void, the target suffers 6d6 points of cold damage per round and must hold its breath or begin to suffocate.

At 1st level, as an immediate action, you can sacrifice 1 hit point in exchange for a +1 bonus on the next damage roll, saving throw, or skill check you make. This bonus only applies as long as you use it by or during your next turn—otherwise both your sacrificed hit point and the bonus are wasted. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier.
At 3rd you can reverse the flow of energy in yourself or one of the undead you command as a swift action. While under this affect you react to positive and negative energy affects as though you are undead, and undead under this affect react to these affects as though they are alive. In addition, unintelligent undead regain the ability to heal naturally. This process can be reversed with another swift action.
At 9th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura that wards against death for a number of rounds per day equal to your Sorcerer level. Living creatures in this area are immune to all death effects, energy drain, and effects that cause negative levels. This ward does not remove negative levels that a creature has already gained, but the negative levels have no effect while the creature is inside the warded area. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
At 15th level you can use your 3rd level ability as a immediate action. In addition, you can control additional undead equal to your sorcerer level.

At 9th level, you can cast spells with magnificent force that overwhelms your enemies. Activating this ability is a swift action that you must use as you cast a spell that targets a single creature and that allows a saving throw to negate or reduce the spell’s primary effect. If the target fails to resist the spell, the target is also confused for a number of rounds equal to the spell’s level.
The victim can attempt a new saving throw each round to end the effect—these additional saving throws apply only to the additional confusion effect and not to the original spell effect. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 1/2 your class level.
At 15th level, you may reroll any caster level check made to overcome spell resistance. You must decide to use this ability before the results are revealed by the GM. You must take the second result, even if it is worse. You can use this ability at will.

Alternativly you may use the bull rush or pull maneuver on someone within 60 feet of you so long as they are wearing armor. You may use this ability 3 + charisma modifier times per day.
At 3rd level you may take ten on skill checks even when distracted by combat. You may use this ability one at third level, plus one additional time for every four levels above 3rd.
At 9th level your can create a plane of steely sharp ice. The ice appears on the ground in a 20-foot-radius burst. This spell functions as per grease, but in addition to falling prone those who fail the save take 1d6 slashing damage for every two sorcerer levels, and the DC for any acrobatics check is equal to 10 +1/2 caster level. The DC of the save is equal to 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier. Once per a round you may concentrate on a prone target within the field as a move action. He must make another save, or became entangled. At 9th level, you can use this ability once per day. At 17th level, you can use this ability twice per day. At 20th level, you can use this ability three times per day. This power has a range of 60 feet.
At 15th level you may turn one opponent into iron. The target makes a Fortitude save (DC ½ sorcerer level +Charisma modifier). This functions as the flesh to stone spell, but the target is transmuted into iron instead. You can reverse this effect at will. You may use this ability once per a day on a unwilling subject, and at will on any willing subjects.
I actually haven't read White Wolf. I hate it when I steal unintentionally. What part reminded you of that?
