True Crossblooded Sorcerer and Bloodrager.


Homebrew and House Rules


So an idea I had for a template is "True Crossblooded". Basically, instead of the drawbacks of the crossblooded archetype, and only choosing from one bloodline or the other, you get everything from both bloodlines at the same time, at the appropriate amount for the amount of levels you have in sorcerer and/or bloodrager.

As for alternate capstones, I'm guessing for bloodrager their capstone is mighty bloodrage, so there is no issue there, but for sorcerers, their capstone is their 20th level bloodline power. This means they would have two capstones. I'm guessing since this is a template, one of the bloodlines is from the sorcerer class, and the other is from the template, so that means they can only replace the capstone from the actual class, and this would solve the issue there, but I'm not sure if this is the most appropriate way to do this.

I'm guessing you shouldn't be allowed to take wildblooded bloodlines from the template, but then, there really is no reason not to allow that if you really want to. I guess for argument's sake, you can't take a wildblooded bloodline at the same time as its base bloodline, nor can you take two wildblooded bloodlines that both have the same base bloodline, if you allow the template to take wildblooded bloodlines too that is. You probably shouldn't be allowed to take the crossblooded archetype, but then, there again is no reason not to allow it. Probably the best way to handle this would be to say only the bloodline from the actual class would be considered for the purposes of archetypes.

Anyways, I'm unsure how much of a CR increase this template should be, including whether or not it should be a different CR increase depending on how many levels of sorcerer and/or bloodrager you have and/or whether you are a sorcerer, bloodrager, or both.

Any advice would be appreciated.


Sor Crossblooded Arch
the drawback is one less spell per spell level & -2 (typeless) Will saves.
The class archetype has to choose between the benefits.
If he gets both benefits without a drawback then the template should be CR +(0.34)*HD as it's about a third of a class gain.
PC CR=class levels +1(wealth).


This is so unbalanced that nothing you do can really make it any worse. Getting double of a major class feature is a bit much.

so if a creature had 6HD the template would cost CR +2. If A 6th level PC then CR 7+2=9. When the PC hits 11th & 12th level, it is 12+3 & 13+4 = CR 15 & 17 respectively.

It's a bit over the top as far as templates go. You don't get HD, skill ranks, spell slots. I thought one-third was about right as these abilities will complement the base class and have interactions rather than simply add on.


There is a sorcerer template in the game monster codex. It scales from +1 to +3. This seems weaker than that.

I’m not sure of the values for this. A starting +0 is not enough, but a +1 doesn’t feel right either. The template may need a small buff to get it up to +1 to start.
