Imperial Draconic Bloodline

[Luo Qingqiu]

I am a Chinese Pathfinder player and I love PF so much. However, when I wanted to try some oriental character building style I found the Imperial Draconic bloodline is too weak.

At least Fey gives +2 save DC and there is numbers of magic resource fit this bloodline. The Imperial Draconic bloodline only gives +1 DC and barely can find suitable magic to build a system.

Which made me feel unbalance.

I suggest change the Arcana into
When you cause a shaken condition the decrease gets 1/4 Sorcerer level (at least 1) add on.
such kind of effect and maybe make it more balance in the data.

Possibility Arcana change

Whenever you cast a spell, until the end of your next turn, the shaken condition morale decrease gain 1/2 cast spell level(at least 1) point.

A few things I noticed:

1. The draconic bloodline powers are arguably better than the fey ones. I would take an energy resistance over woodland stride any day.
2. There are spells that can apply fear conditions as a secondary effect, and thus get the DC boost incidentally (e.g. eyebite gains the boost even if you only use it to inflict sickened)
3. fear attacks stack, compuslion effects usually don't.
4. For +2 level adjustment, you could throw on Fearsome Spell on to every damage spell. I do not know of a way to add a subschool to a spell.

So I'm not sure the bloodline is that weak. It certainly beats the esoteric dragon bloodline if you aren't intending to use armour/have your hands full (since it's quite possibly a drawback if you aren't going for this)

There is no real reason you and the dm just couldn't agree to use the regular dragon arcana for one of the imperial kind
