Arcanist Bloodline Development question.

[Mr. Pyro]

So, I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly, (maybe just dumb). I did a little digging but I couldn't find anything asking this specific question or giving very much information in the regard.

"If the arcanist already has a bloodline (or gains one later), taking this exploit instead allows her arcanist levels to stack with the levels of the class that granted her access to the bloodline when determining the powers and abilities of her bloodline." So, does this mean that if you have a 9th level Arcanist w/ 1st level Sorcerer you'd effectively be a 10th level sorcerer or even 20th level in addition to your abilities from being an Arcanist? (if you were to reach that point)?

An Arcanist 9/Sorcerer 1 with Bloodline development would have the Bloodline Powers of a 10th level sorcerer. Arcanist 19/Sorcerer 1 would have the Bloodline Powers of a 20th level sorcerer.

Thank you for the quick response. So it works how I thought it would, I just wanted to be sure. So it works similar to the Winter Witch PrC.

It does indeed. My Arcanist/Dragon Disciple has enjoyed Bloodline Development quite a bit so far.
