This is really OP (imho), with a sorc1/wizX or sorc1/oracleX you can get really huge bonuses, I think there should be something that limit this only to the sorcerer's spells, a multiclass pc gets all the bonuses and not a drawback.

Nope, it applys to all....

That is why the "base blaster" build is cross blooded sorceror 1/Wizard 19 (with whatever archetype lets them switch damage type).

If there is a question the answer is yes. The arcana stuff also work for other classes spells.
And yes it is good. (in a powerfull way and not in a balanced way)

I Know that it stacks but I think that this should have already been fixed by Paizo, casters don't need this.


At the risk of sounding annoying...

If you knew it stacked why did you just ask if it stacked? Was it just so you could FAQ it? I see now the very clear answer is FAQ'd.

As for other ways of getting it, should we then nerf eldritch heritage orc? A staright sorceror could get the damage of both their dragon line plus orc line with 2 feats and not take any penalties of Cross Blooded, or the caster level drop of multi classing.

Eldrich heritage dosent give the arcana just the powers. But yes orc is a silly and flavor weak bloodline. IMOP.


And flagged for moving to general.

This isn't a rules question. It's a rules complaint. And damage focused blasters with a dip in crossblooded are better blaster but far, far from the most OP thing in the game. Also losing spell progression is arguably worse than gaining a damage bonus, so definitely not OP.

Yes I looked for a faq in the "Ultimate Magic" faq and I didn't find it.
This is really OP.
And it's even pfs-legal (If I read nethys right).
Madness imho.

Thank you for your answers, I know this isn't the most op thing in the game. I find annoying that players that take this route overcome the malus of the archetype.

Yeah not really a rules question. And based on other rulings about various things this one stands out as an outlier because it has been ruled that similar abilities from other classes do not affect all spell casting classes like the sorcerer bloodlines do.

Ultimately, for my home games, I have simply ruled sorcerer bloodlines only affect sorcerer spellcasting slots. Spell cast out of other slots do not recieve the benefit.
