Hi all,
In my current campaign, I want to make a anti-pal/Dragon Disciple (for flavor), but I was wondering if the class ability Blood of the Dragons would count for both bloodlines if he character is a crossblooded sorcerer?
More info, the anti-pal is a Gnoll, and I want to give him both the draconic (obviously for DD) and Orc bloodlines.
Or would it be better to invest in the Eldritch heritage feats (for the ORc bloodline)?
Cheers
The only bloodline that the Dragon Disciple will advance is draconic... you would need the heritage feats to gain access to the fun orc bloodline stuff.

It simply rests on two questions:
1) Can you be a DD as a crossblooded sorcerer?
There are several posts on this forum on this topic, and the general consensus is that you do qualify.
2) How does the Blood of the dragon effect a crossblooded sorcerer?
Crossblooded isn't 2 bloodlines, it is a class archetype that blends two bloodlines. Since Blood of the Dragon advances your bloodline and you have a single bloodline, it advances that bloodline and allows you to chose powers and spells based on being crossblooded. To me this is similar to the robes of arcane heritage. It grants you access to bloodline powers at CL+4. Not just one of your bloodlines but the only bloodline that you have. You do have to pick which powers you are taking as normal but it isn't increasing one or the other bloodline.
Crossblooded already pays a high penalty. One less spell known at every level, and penalty to your will saves make it a pretty costly choice.
I was wrong. Upon reading both again, I believe it works as you describe.

Thanks, for the great explenation. Like you said, there are many post dedicated to this subject, but in many I just read that a crossblooded sors would quilify, but not how it would affect the DD.
So basically, when I'm progressing the chararcter, at each level I'd get a bloodline spell/feat/power, I would just have to choose from which bloodline I'll get the power/spell/feat, thanks!
