Hey all, so the Eldritch Scion Magus Archetype gets access to a Bloodrager bloodline and its abilities, but there is one thing that confuses me. The line for the class ability states:
"An eldritch scion gains a bloodrager bloodline. The bloodline is selected at 1st level, and this choice cannot be changed. An eldritch scion's effective bloodrager level for his bloodline abilities is equal to his eldritch scion level. He does not gain any bonus feats, and he gains bonus spells from his bloodline at different levels (see the bonus spell class feature below). To use any ability that normally functions when in a bloodrage, an eldritch scion must spend a point from his eldritch pool (see below). If an eldritch scion takes levels in another class that grant a bloodline, the bloodlines must be the same type, even if that means that the bloodline of one of the classes must change. Subject to GM discretion, an eldritch scion can change his former bloodline to make them conform.
This ability replaces spell recall."
It says that the Eldritch Scion gets the abilities that a Bloodrager would get while bloodraging if he spends a point from his eldritch pool. Does that mean that something like the movement ability an elemental bloodline bloodrager gets would function without spending the point?
No. The chart listing the movement abilities is in the section that begins with…
Bloodline Powers: One of the four elements infuses your being, and you can draw upon its power while bloodraging.
So Bloodragers only get the movement while bloodrsging, and Eldritch Scions need to spend an Eldritch Pool point.
I see that, but other powers specify "when bloodraging" or "when you bloodrage," which makes me, and my DM, think that they get those powers out of bloodrage as well. Not to mention other bloodlines don't have similar lines, so that is probably just fluff
