So I'm not sure where it comes from but there are alternate draconic backgrounds for the sorcerer draconic bloodlines, and considering I'm really fond of dragon disciple (in theory, I've never played one) I was wondering if anyone would like to weigh in on the alternate bloodline arcana for the outer dragons, which is:
Variant Bloodline Arcana: Whenever you cast a spell with an energy descriptor that matches your draconic bloodline’s energy type, if a creature is damaged by the spell, that creature cannot take a 5-foot step for 1 round. This effect occurs only when you’re using spells that require an attack roll (such as chill touch or scorching ray) or spells that allow a save (such as fireball or lightning bolt). A successful save against the damage or effects of the spell also negates this additional effect.
This seems very useful, but I thought I'd ask the internet what they thought, I really like the idea of a time dragon dragon disciple, and this arcana seems good, has anyone had a chance to use it?
Also am I mistaken and this is 3rd party or something?
Ooh, this could be really fun for a reach dragon disciple, maybe with a fauchard and VMC magus. Since time dragons use electricity, you could deliver boosted-up shocking grasps through your high-crit-range two-handed Power Attacks, then watch as your target is unable to close in or move away without provoking attacks of opportunity.
I dunno about vmc magus, I mean it's great, it's one of the best vmc's if not the best, however it makes the build very feat starved along with the feats to get the first level of casting lost back favored prestige class allong with prestigious spellcaster. Looks like it will need to be human I guess.
