Is the Eldritch Scrapper's Martial Flexibility a 'bloodline power'?


Rules Questions


So, thinking about taking levels in eldritch scrapper sorcerer leading in to dragon disciple.

Here's Eldritch Scrapper

Advanced Class Guide wrote:

Martial Flexibility (Ex): At 1st level, an eldritch scrapper gains the brawler's martial flexibility class feature, using her sorcerer level as her brawler level for the purposes of uses per day. The scrapper treats Arcane Strike and Combat Casting as combat feats for the purpose of this ability.

...

This ability replaces the sorcerer's bloodline powers gained 1st, 9th, and 15th levels.

and here's the relevant bit from the dragon disciple

Core Rulebook wrote:
Blood of Dragons: A dragon disciple adds his level to his sorcerer levels when determining the powers gained from his bloodline. If the dragon disciple does not have levels of sorcerer, he instead gains bloodline powers of the draconic bloodline, using his dragon disciple level as his sorcerer level to determine the bonuses gained. He must choose a dragon type upon gaining his first level in this class and that type must be the same as his sorcerer type. This ability does not grant bonus spells to a sorcerer unless he possesses spell slots of an appropriate level. Such bonus spells are automatically granted if the sorcerer gains spell slots of the spell's level.

The question is in the title: Is the Eldritch Scrapper's Martial Flexibility a 'bloodline power', because it replaces regular bloodline powers?


No, it's a class ability that replaces bloodline powers. It is not itself a bloodline power. Just like the Master of Many Styles Monk's Fuse Style ability does not, in any way, count as Flurry of Blows.
