Sorcerer Bloodine & Archtype possible confilct?


Rules Questions


Question about an interaction involving the Sorcerer. Say he took the Sage, Associated Bloodline: Arcane. His Bloodline power, Arcane bolt, replaces arcane bond. Now say he is also using the Tattooed Sorcerer Archtype. His Familiar Tattoo says it replaces the 1st-level bloodline power. The question being, which overrides the other if even possible? Is this combination allowed and does it effectively give the sage a bypass to losing arcane bond? I'm hoping it works that the bloodline Arcane Bolt would be replaced but if you choose the Archtype first does that make picking sage impossible as it has no arcane bond to replace?


You may not take more than a single archetype that modifies the same class feature, as described in the "Alternate Class Features" section of the prd page on Class Archetypes:

Quote:
A character can take more than one archetype and garner additional alternate class features, but none of the alternate class features can replace or alter the same class feature from the base class as another alternate class feature. For example, a fighter could not be both an armor master and a brawler, since both archetypes replace the weapon training 1 class feature with something different.

So because both options modify the first level bloodline power the combination isn't allowed.


Bloodline: Sage isn't an archtype, it's a bloddline choice of the Sorcerer class. @jbadams


Surely then your 1st level bloodline power is Arcane Bolt, and is replaced by "Familiar Tattoo".

But wildblooded is an archetype, and one that modifies your 1st level bloodline power. Sage isn't a standalone bloodline choice.


whoops. bummer. case closed


Wildblooded as an Archetype was a terrible mistake to begin with.

To get the Sage abilities you have to take the Wildblooded archtype. As jbadams stated you cant change an ability more than once so Tattooed would not work. Or Wildblooded depending on which archtype you take first..
