Arcanist and Arcane Bloodline


Class Discussion


So... how's this work?

As per the Blood Focus, I can spend one point to gain use of a bloodline power. Arcane's first power is:

Arcane Bond (Su): At 1st level, you gain an arcane bond, as a wizard equal to your sorcerer level. Your sorcerer levels stack with any wizard levels you possess when determining the powers of your familiar or bonded object. Once per day, your bonded item allows you to cast any one of your spells known (unlike a wizard’s bonded item, which allows him to cast any one spell in his spellbook). This ability does not allow you to have both a familiar and a bonded item.

So for one point of blood focus, an arcane bond or familiar poofs into existence for rounds = Arcanist level? For those rounds can she cast one of her spells known (for bonded object), or gain the benefit of a familiar?

Can the familiar change each time used, or change daily? Can it be used to deliver touch spells? etc...

=P also, I assume the eldritch heritage feat (provided you don't take arcane bloodline as your original bloodline) gains the Arcanist the permanent arcane bond.


You'd probably get the familiar feature but not a familiar. If that makes sense.
