Mythic Eldritch Heritage clarification


Rules Questions


Hello all,
I'm a bit confused by this feat. The description says:

You gain sorcerer bloodline powers of the bloodline tied to Eldritch Heritage as if your sorcerer level were your character level – 2. For that bloodline's 1st-level bloodline power, use your full character level to determine its effect; for all other bloodline powers, treat your sorcerer level as your character level – 2.

Now, does that mean that you get all of the bloodlines abilities as if your character level was that of a sorcerer level -2? Or am I misreading it?


You get the bloodline powers, yes. You still don't get the arcana, bonus spells, etc, but it's a not a bad mythic feat, and it saves you from having to take Improved and Greater Eldritch Heritage.

Edit: On that note, I'd kill to see a feat similar to Boon Companion or Shaping Focus that lets you add a few non-sorcerer levels to your bloodline powers. You could actually hit capstone with that, depending on the wording.


Well there is a robe that does that, arcane heritage i think its called.


The robe only increases your sorcerer's bloodline level, it does not give any other benefits.


The Archmage Mythic Path also provides "Mythic Bloodline" which when determining the effects of your bloodline powers you are considered to be 4 levels higher. I think this would tend to give you access to the capstone powers of your bloodline.

It does grant access to powers early in the final line in ultimate equipment books say "the wearer treats her sorcerer level as 4 levels higher than normal for the purpose of determining what bloodline powers she can use and their effects." Now there a bit of debate on if it even fuctions with Eldritch Heritage feat, because the middle line which seems like fluffy txt says when a "Sorcerer dons the robe the stiching pulls itself appart and rewaves to match the Sorcerers bloodline".

So people think it does not work with the feat as it called out Sorcerer class. One thing everyone agrees on it does not grant early access to bloodlines powers for non sorcerer because Eldritch heritage feat says that the feat does not grant access to any other powers.

you have to take improved eldritch heritage to get the next power ect.

sounds like mythic eldritch heritage give access to all powers includeing capstone, as time goes on, but at -2 levels lower. with the 1st at full level. So no need but improved or greater eldritch heritage. but what happens if you do improved does that then fuction at full level for improved powers. Greater already gives you full level power but no access to cap stone.

No.

This increases the effects of powers you have access to, but doesn't grant you powers at a lower level than normal. If you have a sorcerer bloodline power that can be used multiple times per day, such as metamagic adept, you gain a number of extra uses of that power equal to half your tier (minimum 1). You must have the bloodline class feature to select this ability.

Note that even if you say you use the same rules as sorcerers, a sorcerer won't be getting early access either. The Robe of Arcane Heritage should still work same as it does for sorcerers, which means it would grant you the capstone at level 18.
