Dragonblood and Draconic

[Sterlingclaw]

So the rules for dragonblood say "Add Draconic to your ancestry's list of additional languages (allowing you to choose it as a language if your Intelligence modifier is positive)." and I have some question whether or not getting Draconic is automatic.

Compare that to angelkin, which just straight says "You know the Empyrean language"

On one hand, it looks like dragonblood only ALLOWS you to take it, rather than gives it free. However, draconic is a common language and to my knowledge, isn't restricted in any way that would prevent any character from taking it, regardless of ancestry/heritage (assuming they have a positive int score).

If any character is allowed to take draconic due to it being a common language, does that mean the wording for dragonblood is saying that if you have a positive int and can take languages besides common, that you get draconic for free?

If it uses one of your extra language slots from having a 1+ int, however, how is that any different from any other ancestry/heritage that could take it anyway since draconic is common? If it were an rare or even uncommon language, that would be one thing, but it's already common.

Most likely someone forgot that draconic is a common language. I do not think it is intended to give you a bonus language.

Paizo has published 2 erratas for PC2 and as far as I can tell this has not been errata'd, so....nope, no bonus language.

Maybe Paizo's intent here was that in settings where the language is not common, you still have access to it?

In any event, its probably not a balance issue if your GM wants to just give it to a dragonblood PC.
