Variant multiclassing with Sorcerer and dragon disciple

[Corwin Illum]

Any clarification on how this works with bloodlines?

One thing I am wanting to make is a Flame Dancer Bard, with variant sorcerer (draconic [gold]). Then later taking Dragon Disciple.

Not sure how this impacts the bloodlines. It would certainly give a more powerful breath weapon (I think?) But what would the other effects be?

There is no official clarification.

The sanest way to run it is probably to rule that Disciple gives you its various upgrades to your bloodline powers (the early breath weapon and wings turning into upgrades/extra use, the bite, the boosted natural armor) and that's that.

You could try to say that you have two separate bloodlines, one at character level and one at Disciple level, but that's silly and a GM might slap you. Or you could try to say that you get one bloodline at character level + Disciple level, but that's very silly and a GM should slap you.

Yeah, I think I like that interpretation.

Going a different bloodline with the variant class and then taking dragon disciple would probably be 'slap worthy' too.

That one's not slap worthy, it's outright illegal. If you have a Sorcerer bloodline going into Disciple, it must be Draconic. You can skate by that with Crossblooded as an actual Sorcerer, or with Eldritch Heritage (but, I believe, only once you're actually into Disciple), but you can't do it with VMC.
