Getting Familiar-- Cross-Blooded or Eldritch Heritage?

[Apocalypso]

So I'm playing a sorceress that just hit 5th level in PFS.

Dunh, dunh, dunh... a boon has made it possible to get a faerie dragon familiar.

I really want a faerie dragon familiar, now.

Currently she's Cross-Blooded Draconic (Blue)/Elemental (Elec)

Basic Crunch:

Garuda Aasimar
Took the elemental combo to transform everything to Electricity, and then add +1 to every die rolled.
Eventually headed towards Dragon Disciple.

Current Feats are:
Dodge
Empower Spell
5th level feat open

Bloodline Abilities are:
Elemental Ray (elemental bloodline)
Draconic Resistance: nat armor +1, elec res 5 (draconic)
Bonus spell 3rd: Mage Armor (draconic)

So what's the most efficient way to qualify for a familiar?

A) Stay with current cross-blooded combo?
Retrain feats to qualify for Eldritch Heritage
(need Skill Focus and Improved Familiar

B) Retrain bloodline from Elemental to Arcane?
Need to retrain "Elemental Ray" to "Arcane Bond" bloodline power
Need to retrain feats to Elemental metamagic and Improved Familiar

C) Retrain to single Draconic Bloodline and take Eldritch Heritage?
Need to retrain "Elemental Ray" to "Claws" bloodline power
Need to retrain feats to Elemental Metamagic, Skill Focus, and Improved Familiar.

I have prestige points and cash to spend. So I'm mostly interested in which final product will be the most effective.

Thoughts?

You seem to have taken your current cross-blooded bloodlines to aid you in blasting, correct? If that's so I would recommend keeping your bloodlines the same and using eldritch heritage as that gives you the ability to shoot super strong electric fireballs/whatever blasting spell you want and you gain the utility of your faerie dragon.

The next best choice would be elemental/arcane. Your blasts would hit less hard but you get to keep the elemental arcana to change any blast into electricity. I think draconic (blue) by itself is the weakest due to the lack of electricity spells for you blast with.

If you're not a blaster then you'd get the most mileage out of not being cross-blooded to give you more spells to choose from.

Thanks Jake

You're right, I'm probably trying to do too much at once.

I took the combo Draconic/Elemental for blasting, and switching spells to my type of energy.

I took Draconic in the first place to qualify for Dragon Disciple.

And now I want an Improved Familiar too.

Just double checking... does Eldritch Heritage in Arcane bloodline qualify me for a familiar. That looks like the simplest way to go, with the least amount of retraining.

Yes.

Remember you've got another feat you have to take before you can take Eldritch Heritage... I think it's Skill Focus (Arcane Knowledge, or Spellcraft) So you're egoing to have to wait till 7th level at the earliest.

Or retrain a feat-- which is actually easier than retraining a bloodline.
Many Thanks!
