Eldrich Heritage more then once


Rules Questions


Can you take this feat more then once each time gaining access to a new bloodline? The wording the feat does not list you can but it is slightly odd by saying This bloodline cannot be one you already having. Meaning you could have more then one?


You cannot take a feat more than once unless it says you can in the feat description. I believe what you are referring to applies to sorcerers who take the feat.


ok wanted to make sure seem little odd to me as, most feats as you mention state it in the feat discription. It is a little more confusing with improved eldrich hertiage as it said you can take it more then once. Which makes Greater eldrich hertiage even more confusing. as you can already use improved eldrich ertiage to get all the lower level powers there is no need to take greater unless you want the level 15 power.

Can you use Greater or Improved to gain cross blooded mutation powers from your bloodline. Such as abyssal and abyssal brute. take one feat improved hertiage once to get posion and electical resistance, then again to get abyssal Str then a 3rd time to get the wings from abyssal brute then greater hertiage to get the fiendish summon bonus.


What Durngrun said. I don't believe the rules out and out state that as a rule, but it's the basic assumption.
I'm not sure what your confusion is: some Feats state you can re-take them, some don't, this is the latter group.
Exactly when IEH says you can take it twice but the other EH Feats don't means there is a difference between them.
Yes, getting the Level 15 power is exactly the point of GEH, amazingly enough.

You seem to be getting a bit confused about Cross-Blooded and Wildblooded (Mutant), but in any case,
those are both Archetypes that modify the Sorceror Class, you can't select either one via EH per RAW.
Some GMs are lenient in regards to Wildblooded, but I haven't seen anybody allowing to pick and choose the normal power at some EH tier and the mutant power at another tier (or taking IEH twice), and I haven't seen anybody apply Cross-Blooded to EH which is pretty obvious given that the "trade-off" for Cross-Blooded is reducing Sorceror Spells Known which is something that doesn't matter for EH.


Sorry about that, yeah I meant wild blooded. I did not have my books with me to look at the time.

I was just confused because the original feat Eldrich Heritage made the suggest of having more then one blood line. which Durngrun pointed out the 2nd blood line comes from actual having Sorcerers as a class.

I and confused on the point of having GEH allowing to take lower then 15 level power. When you can just take IEH to get that power.

I was curious about wildblooded because I noticed in PcGen you can select them as bloodlines. I don't think it would be that huge of balance issues to get both the mutated power and non mutated power. as it is a huge feat investment 4 feats. skill focus, EH, IEH and IEH again. could even be 6 feats total to get all powers up to level 15 and one mutated power. All them function at two levels lower also.

Thanks for clearing it up.

PcGen kind of drops the ball with these feats after you select the bloodline as you can't pick what power you want for IEG or even GEH. Does anyone know Hero Labs let's you pick the wildblooded as with EH? I never trust thrust these 3rd party programs because of this.
