Yep, I understand. What I am saying is that the Robes will increase a non-sorcerer power to 4. It also just concentrates on the one bloodline (as it attunes itself to when the Sorcerer/Character wears it)
Perhaps I am reading to much into it, but I don't imagine that the robes were ever meant to be used by a non-sorcerer. It seems like finagling to me. I am not even sure if the secondary power from a second bloodline would even be effected.

It does because the reweaving is really just a cosmetic effect. Theres no text stating, "The wearer benefits if his bloodline matches the robe blah blah blah."
If the Robes were only meant to be worn by a Sorcerer, it'd cost less as per the rules on class restricted items.
I have a thought, mechanically does the game consider the character to have a bloodline? I know thematically we treat it that way.
Basically if I have eldritch heritage fey bloodline and I entre a room that wracks any fey gnomes or sorcerers with the fey bloodline with wracking agony... would my non sorveter char be hurt? (I think there's a pfs scenario that hits anyone with wikd empathy gnome or fey bloodline with a disease)
So strictly raw would someone with the eldritch heritage feats be affected?
If yes then I think the robes work.
Your collector example is flawed. To match the wording on the robes it would have had to state, "Matthew likes to collect coins. The collector takes pride in his collection." Which collector? Matthew.
I disagree. The my point was that a second sentence need not always be read strictly in the confines of the context of a preceding sentence. I don't feel the wording has to be the exact same to make that point.
And as I point out in my second example (where the wording also does not exactly match) reading one sentence only in the context of another can lead to false conclusions.
Even your re-write of my sentence, "The collector" doesn't specify which collector and can be read in the general rather than referring to any specific collector.
"Many people like to form collections. A collection is usually a group of similar objects. People collect stamps, sports cards, and even cars. Matthew likes to collect coins. The collector takes pride in his collection."
"The collector" in this case doesn't refer to Matthew specifically.
I would also agree with Scavion that the sorcerer-specific text about the pattern changing seems more description or flavor text than meant to be mechanical. If they wanted it to only affect sorcerers, the sentence dealing with the actual mechanical bonus granted could have easily been written to that effect.

Well the first part of Eldritch Heritage says "Choose a bloodline." So I would believe yes.
It works, you have sorcerer level and you treat it as higher cos of robes.
Downers who do not understand that robe's wording was made without thinking about heritage will not let you reshape it to match bloodline, but it does not change how it affects sorcerer level.

If a crossblooded sorcerer with eldritch hertiage put in the robe, would it just explode?

No, it'd just be a really bad ass reweave. And a pretty epic family tree.

"You're an Oread with the Infernal and Celestial bloodlines?"
"And Shaitan Eldritch Heritage. Yeah. Family reunions are...interesting."
"Delightful!"
(Overheard at the Chelish embassy in Korvosa. We can neither confirm nor deny that this conversation involved the Paracountess.)
Yeah...options are great aren't they?
Azata-Blooded Aasimar Scion of Humanity with Crossblooded Draconic/Abyssal, Infernal Eldritch Heritage, Racial Heritage(Orc), and Adopted by Elves.
Aasimar and celestial bloodline are kinda the same thing (though not necessarily).
Azata-blooded represents the CG celestials while Celestial bloodline is more representative of LG celestials,
But there is only Celestial bloodline; not Angel, Archon, Azata, and Agathion. Unlike the Abyssal, Infernal, Daemon, and Shadow bloodlies.
That's why Celestial bloodline Aasimar kinda doubles up on the same thing (but not always) and just to make the widest heritage changing you could change it to Draconic. As you say, the azata-blooded could use Celestial bloodline to represent Angel or Archon heritage but the bloodline isn't really specific.
Make it Gold Draconic for LG.
I think these are a lot of feats and items spent on having bloodline flavor and abilities.

Thank you.
It is my belief, as I stated above, that the robes rises the power to sorcerer level 4. If the trait already rises the power above that and the character has no Sorcerer levels otherwise, then the trait supersedes the Robes.
I wonder if someone would pay for the robes for an early level boost and sell it once it is ineffective at higher level. That is what I am seeing here.

Going by your arguments, said character would need to purchase it between 1-5th level. Which isn't possible. Or lucrative.
I don't see the logic in your argument. While I disagree with the "doesn't work on non-sorcerers" crowd, I can at least follow their logic.
Pro: Feat gives you an effective sorcerer level for bloodline powers. Item increases your sorcerer levels for bloodline powers. Thus item increases the effective sorcerer level gained from feat.
Anti: While feat gives you effective sorcerer level for bloodline powers, you still don't have sorcerer levels or a bloodline, so no increase in level. Robes only work if have actual sorcerer levels.
thaX: The feat gives you an effective sorcerer level for bloodline powers. But the item doesn't increase that, rather it increases your non-existent level of sorcerer class (not 0, does not exist -).....?
I can understand (though disagree) with the "you don't have actual sorcerer levels, so it doesn't interact." I personally read it as "you have a sorcerer level from the feat, so it does interact." I just don't see the reasoning behind "It increases a non-existent stat and may or may not interact."

How do you feel about the price of the item indicating that other classes could benefit from it? I.E if it really was sorcerer only, it'd cost 30% less.
Because that is the strongest argument for it.
I am all for it. It supports the side I agree with and uses solid rules to do so.
But I don't see what that has to do with my post on wanting clarification on thaX's reasoning.....
