A Plea for FAQ or Ammendment regarding Dragon Disciple

By RAW the bloodrager doesn't seem to count as a sorcerer for the purposes of bloodline powers stacking wit the dragon disciple. This is a big shame because that's what the dragon bloodline bloodrager seems to be designed for. I'm asking for an amendment to the PrC that allows for bloodrager dragon bloodlines to count.

However, since the book is slated to get a proper errata document (to be released once they start shipping the second printing) we just have to wait.

Since dragon disciple is the one that would need the clarification, Zolanoteph is looking for a CRB FAQ, rather than an ACG errata.

Sounds to me like the Bloodrager is the one that needs to be rewritten.

Altering a Core element to include non-Core elements is going in the wrong direction, otherwise we'd be errata'ing CRB feats like Rapid Reload and Deadly Aim to include text about Firearms.

Not an errata on either element. It seems that you'd want an explanatory FAQ.

FAQ works.

The OP was asking for an "amendment to the PrC".

Put me down as a curmudgeon. I say Bloodragers are already ahead of the curve by existing in the same game where multiclassing used to be the only way to be a barbarian/sorcerer type.

So I think bloodragers should be left out of the PrC. Old school Barbarian/Sorcerers deserve something they can still call their own.

Not really. All that would be needed is a line in the Bloodrager that it progresses with Dragon Disciple. Much like things that said that they qualified for Duelist abilities rather than having to rewrite the Duelist to include the new stuff.

I would really like the Bloodrager to work better with the Dragon Disciple.

I mean, the flavor is all over it, to work.


I am definitely in favor of having it work with Dragon disciple properly. As for Barb/sorc having there own thing, don't they still with rage powers (granted, blood rager still can get some but not as many right?) And higher level spells (plus a different spell list)

This needs to be a thing. Of course you can houserule it in a home game, but there are probably stacks of frustrated draconic bloodragers out there in PFS just waiting for a FAQ/errata so they can take dragon disciple.


Even if it doesn't stack but overlap it's not too bad for a bloodrager.
You get increased armor, at second level increased strength and when you grow claws (while raging) you get a bite, too.
At third level you get a breath weapon or another use per day if you already had it.
Go BR 8/DD3/BRx.
You lose 1 BAB and 1 CL but get more HP and slightly better saves. You add a bite attack, a use of dragon breath, +1 nat armor +2 strength but delay greater rage (bad but offset partially by the str increase), damage reduction and a bloodline spell.

It's not necessarily stronger or weaker than staying BR. But it IS an option. Having the bloodline increase with DD levels would be stronger though.
