Sorcerer Weapons instead of familiar? anyway to arcane bond?


Advice


One of my players is downright determined he wants to be a dragon blood sorcerer who is the direct son of a dragon almost as a arrogant draconic prince, which i thought was a pretty good idea, a lawful evil but noble demon archtype, the kind of character that talks about how evil they are and how powerful they want to become, but by the end are more good guys than bad and just have a attitude, starting off fairly cruel and merciless but slowly being changed by the friends they have surrounded themselves with.

Now I approve of this, I have confidence in this roleplayer to pull it off as he is probably the best roleplayer in my group and its ambitious and i like ambitious.

But they want to have a sword, sort of like a arcane warrior, while staying true to the sorcerer bloodlines and such, and i have seen a few ways of doing this but they are often convoluted, and iv found that there are ways of sorcerers getting magical familiars but is there anyway they can get a Arcane bonded weapon instead?

We have talked about the Tattooed sorcerer build which lets you have a familiar tattooed into your body, but as far as I can tell its only familiars not swords and items.. which sucks, i mean I cant see why not, instead of a squirm or lizard tattoo why not a sword you can summon right out of your skin?

Anyway, if there are any less round about ways to have a sorcerer using a arcane bonded weapon than id love to talk it over, If all else fails i might just allow him to do tattooed sorcerer with a arcane bonded weapon instead of familiar as a houserule, but i really hate going outside the lore of the world...

Skill focus (knowledge : Any) -> Eldritch heritage -> Arcane bloodline -> take the bonded item.

They could also look at the Arcanist class which casts spells as a fusion between wizard and sorcerers. They can take bloodlines from sorcerers as well and arcane bonds. As a bonus they can also make their arcane bond/weapon into an intelligent weapon that improves as they level up al la the Magus Blackblade.

You see but you cant work draconic blood line when you need to pick arcane bloodline, so its pointless.

Well if they aren't the sorceror class and are using eldritch heritage to get the draconic bloodline have them be a magus and go black blade archetype

As far as I can tell this is not true.


If you're the DM, just house rule it.

Edit: Sorry I missed that you "hate to go against the lore of the world," but I wouldn't get hung up on it. This seems a small change. It's your game. Take charge.

You misunderstand. For the Sorcerer class, they take the Draconic Bloodline. They then spend the Feat to get Eldritch Heritage, which allows them to get Bloodline Powers from another Bloodline, in this case Arcane.

So...yeah, that works.
