Sorcerer & the Scribe Scroll Feat


Pathfinder Society

Liberty's Edge

Hello, I'm fairly new to Pathfinder, having not played it yet. I have played D&D 3.5E previously so I have a pretty good idea of how it works.

I was thinking about creating a sorcerer with an Arcane Bloodline. They receive the Scribe scroll feat as part of their bloodline. (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/classes/sorcerer.html) Since item creation feats seem to be disallowed in Society play, does anyone know if you are able to replace this with another feat? They don't specifically mention this feat being out in the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play (As they do with the Wizard's Scribe Scroll feat, which is replaced with Spell Focus). I'm trying to figure out if this feat is just stricken with no replacement or if we can add another feat in its place.

Thank you!

There isn't another feat in its place because the Arcane bloodline presents a number of options. Any scribe or craft feat is disallowed in Society play, since they're a bit too complicated to keep track of. Sorry about that! At low level, I'd pick Spell Focus, Combat Casting or Improved Initiative.

Oh, I've got it. I was reading the entry for sorcerer completely wrong (for some reason I was thinking I received all of those feats). Never mind me. Thanks for the clarification.

Every feature that gives (or requires) the Scribe Scroll feat replaces it with Spell Focus. You already have Spell Focus as one of your bloodline feat options, so you don't get any replacement option.

That's the main problem about this question.

But don't worry, I have seen other people make that mistake, too. It's a bit confusing when you skip right to the bloodline descriptions and see a line reading "Bloodline Feats" ;)

You don't get your 1st bloodline feat until level 7, so unfortunately you have quite a bit of time before you have to worry about it. All Sorcerers get Eschew Materials at level 1 though, which is a very nice feat to have.

Sure you do... You choose Spell Focus for a second school. It IS one of those feats that can be taken twice.

Odd. I have a Sorcerer who does not have the Eschew Materials feat.

Spoiler:
He has the False Focus feat instead. It came with his archetype, Razmiran Priest.

It has some interesting trade-offs. You have to use the focus, rather than nothing, but you can get a focus that removes the cost for up to 100 gp worth of material components. Basic Restorations for free...

Except False Focus only works with arcane spells. Is there an arcane version of restoration?
