I'm cool with this since you're going to be casting these spells a lot, but as a standalone it's not one of the best powers out there. This one is a little bit better than Celestial and Abyssal resistances because it includes some Natural Armor bonus along with resistance to your element. You can also combine this ability with the laughing touch first-level ability to make a much more powerful combination, though it will still work only on any given creature once. If your second roll is high enough to avoid accidentally springing the trap, you avoid setting it off, but still fail to disarm it. Sign me up! If you don’t come across any aquatic creatures or water elementals, it’s relatively useless, until 15th level when you can call some seriously powerful creatures to your side to aid you, such as an Elder Water Elemental, without using up a spell slot! Confusion is pretty debilitating, so this is pretty good, but it does require a touch attack, which isn't ideal. Shadow Well: The only other way to get Hide in Plain Sight at this low of a level is to spend a bunch of feats and take the Shadowdancer PrC. Overall a pretty good option. This could be very useful for a melee-focused build who likes to turn into a dragon or something. Let me also point out that this is one of the best abilities you could ever get from Eldritch Heritage, espectially if you happen to be an arcane caster whose casting stat is constitution... like the Scarred Witch Doctor, perhaps? Wizards have to work their whole lives to learn how to become immortal... you just say “hmm, look how awesome I am, I think I’ll stop aging now.” And then you do. Heavenly Fire: This is a decent ability not for the damage that it deals (which is relatively weak) but for the possibility of healing your allies, as long as they’re good aligned. by your Charisma mofidier. I could see a witch looking to go into the Winter Witch prestige class taking this to get Stormchild. Overall, a very excellent spell list. Your recall and ability to process information improve. That will usually come out to close to double the damage you would normally be rolling. If there was something worse than red, I’d give it that. This isn’t too great. A pair of claws aren’t as exciting as something like Feral Mutagen, so this only get an orange. Seriously, an awesome ability for an infiltrator. You cast this spell as you draw out a consumable alchemical item to use. Even a particularly spiteful Paladin could find use for those two abilities. Melee is still hard for a sorcerer though, so I can’t rate it too high. This can also be used to keep your summoned creatures (assuming you added the celestial template to them) up for a little bit longer. Definitely situationally useful, but still not one of the most useful powers out there. It’s always good to be able to identify undead creatures and know their strengths and weaknesses, and this is the only bloodline that adds this particular skill to your class skill list, so I like it. - This skill comes up a lot, and can be extremely useful to identify an outsider’s elemental or alignment weakness. Though you are drpooing the worst parts of this bloodline by going EH or VMC (the arcana is just atrocious) it's still just not very strong. Spell resistance doesn’t come up much until higher levels, but when it does you’ll be glad you get to re-roll your caster level checks. This is one of the best bloodline capstones out there, by far. : There really isn’t any better ability for a straight caster Sorcerer than this, although you probably won’t be using your spell slots to power magic items that often since they are a precious commodity to you. Still, a free 6th-level spell a few times a day is nothing to laugh at. The abilites granted by this bloodline are all space-related, obviously. If I were you, I’d use a. spell to move somewhere high up on a ledge or something, then root there and heal up while throwing spells down on the enemies. Bonus Spells: mind thrust I (3rd), id insinuation I (5th), ego whip I (7th), intellect fortress I (9th), psychic crush I (11th), mental barrier V (13th), tower of iron will III (15th), bilocation (17th), microcosm (19th). Final Thought: This bloodline is nice, with the regular and Wildblooded versions being better at slightly different things. Even when they go up to acid resist 10 and a +4 bonus, it’s just okay. No complaints here. The list is a bit top-ended for my tastes, though. You wanna be a tiny rat riding on someone's shoulder? If your group has one or two witches in it, this bloodline would probably go from orange to green. This list includes a nice variety of spells,a nd several of them are ones that no Sorcerer should be without. Out of all four choices, the Air one is definitely the best, as a fly speed can get you out of a TON of sticky situations. This is an excellent bloodline, and I highly recommend it for an Android or anyone else playing in an Iron Gods or other tech-heavy campaign where it would fit flavor. As far as Eldritch Heritage goes, this power would be very useful for a cleric who wants to focus on Inflict Critical Wounds. Resist acid 5 is decent, but nothing exciting. The fact that this increases to up to 15 extra feet is really cool. This is an almost necessary ability for an infiltrator. Your chaos is so chaotic that it screws up its OWN plan! Since you probably chose this bloodline for blasting, consider taking Blood Piercing instead. You’re going to want to use Stealth a lot with this one.. maybe Crossblooded between Kobold and Shadow could be helpful? Some of the best Sorcerer/Wizard spells are on this list, though. Use this to lower your Int in battle. : This one is decent, especially for summoning in an aquatic game. This is a really great capstone, probably one of the best, since it involves so many different, flavorful abilities. Chaos. You get. Nimble Walker: This is not good enough to be a capstone. You're also the only class other than the Psychic that can use undercasting, which almost all your bonus spells allow for. A blaster Wizard or Magus might consider picking up the Eldritch Heritage line of feats to get Elemental Blast, though it’ll take three feats to get there. I'd say the major detriment to this one is having to take Skill Focus (Knowledge[Dungeoneering]) to go into the EH feat line with it. This bloodline isn't a good candidate for the EH feats or variant multiclassing because those options just don't get you to the good powers early enough to matter, and this bloodline is very top-heavy. at one level earlier than you normally would as a sorcerer, so enjoy it! : This is another power that you will hope you hardly ever have to use, because it involves an enemy landing a hit on you. Have fun! This will come in incredibly handy, even though you can't use it if you already used it in the last 10 minutes. Have you ever wanted to make a monk/sorcerer? The object must be an alchemical item, but not a dose of, Render a target weapon or up to 50 pieces of ammo invisible, granting the wielder a bonus on, The target chooses one ability score and gains a +2. : Again, just like the other heavenly and hellish lineages, this capstone isn’t that impressive. - Not a terribly important or useful skill for an arcane spellcaster, sadly. This bloodline is pretty weak on its own, and without gaining the bonus spells it's just not worth your time. Not too many really great ones here, though Silent Spell, Skill Focus (Stealth) and Stealthy could all be useful for you. Eldritch Heritage/VMC: I actually think this bloodline is one of those that works better for EH or VMC than it does as an actual bloodline... Tremor is great, Rockseer and Crystal Shard are both excellent as well. Since you're likely going for blasting here, consider grabbing a couple of the Bloodline Mutations in place of your bonus feats. Ravenous Frenzy: Wow, a haste effect AND a bleed effect for your claws? This badly worded sentence is essentially saying if you’re flat-footed, you get a bonus. Crystal Shard: Free bane special ability for your frontline fighter? This is a useful skill to have, especially since you're going to have an excellent Charisma bonus, so you can just destroy social interactions. Even though you have to bite someone in melee, this is just too good to pass up. is one of the best scouting spells ever, so that’s always cool too. Add to this a rod or several of Still Spell, and you've got pretty much every spell benefiting from this ability! Source = CRB. This power gives you a natural armor bonus anytime you cast a spell with a range of personal, so essentially it gives you a free buff anytime you cast a buff. Still, it's a fun and flavorful ability that could come in very handy. Power of the Efreet: Just like the Djinni bloodline, you get access to limited wish without paying the normal cost. The first two spells aren’t that great, but. Just be careful not to overuse it, as using it more than once per day can literally kill you on the spot. The thing is, a -1 penalty to ability scores has essentially no mechanical effect! Rooting: Slowing yourself down is sucky, but the +4 to natural armor is really nice, and the fast healing is definitely where this ability is at. : A solid debuff/damaging ability, but the flat one use per day bumps it down to orange instead of green. This is the only power that is actually different depending on which element you chose. Seriously. Ascension: This is a fun and very thematic capstone. Then cast. As an arcane caster, you’re probably already going to have permanent increases to your caster level (such as the Varisian Tattoo feat), and that type of ability makes this arcana useless. The true awesomeness of this bloodline comes when you go Wildblooded, though. However, the best part of this arcana is you get to add +1 damage per dice to ANY damaging spell. Same as the others, you can change your energy-damage spells to acid. Bonus Feats: This list of feats is a little bit weak, with the only real star being Heighten Spell, and that’s really only because it’s a prerequisite for Preferred Spell, which lets you cast your favorite spell without making its casting time longer. Exist comfortably in hot or cold regions. There’s one huge disadvantage to this capstone, though... you become immune to. Now, this is assuming your character is younger than middle age. Check out our other SRD sites! Eldritch Heritage/VMC: There's nothing really great or terrible about this one, as an electricity ray might come in handy for some and elemental resistance is pretty good. [Water Blast]: Dehydrating touch is probably a bit better than this one, but knocking your enemies prone can be a lifesaver to your melee buddies. The word âlevelâ in the short spell descriptions that follow always refers to caster level. For a melee build, this list is excellent, otherwise it’s just decent. However, you can trade it for Blood Havoc and get a bunch of bonus damage with your shocking grasp and chain lightning spells, at minimum, so do that instead. There are lots of reasons that you might want to use ectoplasm, the biggest one being when fighting incorporeal creatures. This bloodline is fantastic if you know you're going to be going up against any ghosties, but even if not you get some really great, unique powers. Make a target appear as an older version of itself. This isn’t a great power because it requires you to make a melee touch attack (you don’t want to be in melee range, most likely) AND it only works on a given creature once in 24 hours. Despite that, the bonus spells you gain could still be pretty useful for a general battlefield controller-type character. Compared to other 20th-level Sorcerer powers, this one kinda falls flat. Eldritch Heritage/VMC: All of the awesome in this bloodline is in the bloodline powers, which is what you're looking for from the EH feats or VMC sorcerer. This is probably why you went with Orc. Excellent to use on a strong melee bad-guy, or the BBEG if he exists. Bonus Spells: charm person (3rd), invisibility (5th), suggestion (7th), detect scrying (9th), prying eyes (11th), mass suggestion (13th), greater polymorph (15th), mind blank (17th), dominate monster (19th). Laughing Touch: This isn’t a great power because it requires you to make a melee touch attack (you don’t want to be in melee range, most likely) AND it only works on a given creature once in 24 hours. I would suggest this bloodline as an EH choice for a Cleric, Oracle, or possibly even a Magus. Eldritch Heritage/VMC: This one is a good candidate for Eldritch Heritage for a melee build to pick up both cold steel and snow shroud. A kobold Ranger (Trapper archetype) would do well to consider using Eldritch Heritage to pick up Trap Rune and Trap Sense. This is one that I would consdier more strongly if I were beginning a campaign at around 10th level. DR 5/- can be outshined by a low-level spell slot, and transformation is not a high enough spell level to be a huge deal at only once per day. If you’re a blaster, this is a great choice for the Elemental Blast, though you’ll wish you could trade away Elemental Ray for something more useful. This bloodline is a fun, extremely flavorful one. Shadowstrike: If this ability didn’t have to be a melee touch attack, I’d really like it, but you’re better off with magic missile or something else from range. This... is awesome! While a Witch might find delivering touch spells at range useful, she’s probably still better off just using hexes instead. Overall a pretty good option. Touch of Agony: I actually like this ability, because it seems from the description that you might be able to stack uses of it on subsequent rounds. Seriously, this is incredible! Between this, expeditious excavation, and shifting sands, you shouldn’t be leaving any of your opponents standing. I love this ability. Trick opponents who try to cast enchantments on you. This is an excellent list of spells, with strong options at almost every level. [Wings of the Abyss]: Wings are cool, but you’re most likely trying to go melee with this build, and giving up +6 to Str is a horrible idea. One Body, Two Minds: Free Silent and Still spell, and also free Extend Spell if the spell is mind-affecting. Trust me, I’m playing one of these right now in PFS, and it’s AWESOME. Immunity to mind-affecting effects is great, but LOOK AT THAT SECOND POWER! Combat Casting, Improved Initiative, Scribe Scroll, and Spell Focus are all really great choices, and even the not-so-great choices on this list are still good. Just a quick look through the list of sor/wiz spells that could theoretically cause “precipitation” yields the following: (that one’s a cantrip that lasts 1 round, so if you cast it the first round on yourself you could theoretically cast another spell the following round before it expires), . Improved Initiative is really the only one on here that I would get excited about, so this is a pretty weak feat list. Sadly, the arcana is weak, so I see this as more likely an Eldritch Heritage choice for a Rogue or Bard character. As an arcane caster, you’re probably already going to have permanent increases to your caster level (such as the Varisian Tattoo feat), and that type of ability makes this arcana useless. This one is excellent. Again, it’s flavorful and I like it. Animate and possess your own skin as if it were a separate creature. Mutable Flesh: This power lets you significantly increase the length of time your transmutation spells last, with minutes/level spells becoming 10 minutes/level, and 10 minutes/level spells becoming hour/level. Heroic Recovery is also great, since you can choose to reroll a saving throw once per day, but at least you can eventually get the required +4 base Fort save for this one. See what I did there? And, at 9th level, you can SHARE IT! Daemonic Resistances: Just like the resistances you gain from the Celestial and Abyssal bloodlines, this ends up being a rather mediocre bloodline power. Your bombs create a cage of force that traps creatures inside the bombâs splash radius. Turn the druid’s animal companion into a Treant! The Altered Form ability would be really useful for infiltrating, well, anywhere. This is another relatively useless ability, only helpful when you’re trying to dispel other people’s spells. However, at 3rd level you gain a Swim speed, at which point Swim checks are almost unnecessary. Heroic Recovery is also great, since you can choose to reroll a saving throw once per day, but at least you can eventually get the required +4 base Fort save for this one. Overall, if you can convince your GM to let you use this bloodline even though it's from the Monster Codex, I'd recommend it as a decent alternative to the Draconic bloodline. Out of all four choices, the Air one is definitely the best, as a fly speed can get you out of a TON of sticky situations. Shadow Master: You can see in any level of natural or magical darkness, and when you use your shadow conjuration spells, those spells are 20% more real than normal AND get the benefit of Augment Summoning if they qualify. Class Skill: Stealth - This is a very helpful skill, as sneaking around can be useful in many situations. spell, but you also can fascinate a whole bunch of creatures, so it could come in really handy. You can also boost the bonus you’re getting from this ability at higher levels by carrying a, weapon! Mind reader is one of the best ways to get thoughts out of someone's mind in the game, and hide aura could come in handy for an infiltrator cleric or warpriest as well. Final Thought: I really love this bloodline, and you should too. You get true speech and comprehend languages as constant abilities, AND you get to add +1 to the DCs of your bard-style spells. You gain the orc subtype, so that’s cool. That’s actually a decent ability, but it’ll make your allies hate you, most likely. If you use a possession effect, you get to stay in control of your own body, effectively giving you DOUBLE your normal actions in a round! This one is extremely strange, and kinda useless since it’s a random cantrip. Inflict mummy rot with a touch OR with a melee weapon. If you cast a single-target spell (such as a ray), you can perform a bull rush maneuver on that target, even from range. Psychic Strike: This is a decent damage-dealing bloodline power, and it doesn't say that it's a mind-affecting effect, so you could theoretically use it against undead or golems (expect table variation). A bite attack is decent, and a bite attack that inflicts poison that increases its DC by level is great. This would be useful for absolutely ANY spontaneous spellcaster, especially divine ones. Overall, this is a thumbs-up from me. Sell at the Open Gaming Store! Thats just crazy good. It only lasts 15 rounds, but WOW is that amazing. Arcana: This is a good arcana if you want to go with the thematic representation that your soul is corrupted, so killing others fuels your spellcasting, but mechanically this isn’t a very good ability. Varisian Tattoo is excellent for any spellcaster, so grab that one for sure. So, if you really want to do Crossblooded because you love those bloodline arcana, you can make it work. You can deliver an infusion, elixir, poison, or. This is exceptionally useful for a Bard, Summoner or Oracle, as they get access to spells they wouldn’t otherwise have! Downloads Again, it’s flavorful and I like it. This one is a great option for a cleric or oracle who has a lot of hit points and would like to buff their allies with spells AND their own health. Hardened Fists: This isn't actually a terrible first power, and I like it a bit better than the standard set of claws that characters usually get. Don’t forget that there is now an archetype of the Witch for Changeling characters that raises the DC of sleep effects, and there is also an alternate race trait for Elves increasing similar spell DCs (both of these are found in the Advanced Race Guide). Not a great group of feats. A pretty decent list of spells, here. Excellent to use on a strong melee bad-guy, or the BBEG if he exists. It lets you use your Int instead of Cha for all Sorcerer abilities, which means you can dump Cha and get tons more skill points thanks to your higher Int. as well as the incredibly useful Expanded Arcana. Harrowed Home: This is essentially the ability to cast mage's magnificent mansion freely once per day, which is cool but not overly strong as far as a bloodline power goes. Protoplasm: Free tanglefoot bags at level 1 is really excellent. The lower level spells aren’t as exciting as the really high level ones, but it’s a pretty good list overall. Overall, not a bad option! Spell Penetration can be useful, and you may want Skill Focus (Knowledge (planes)), but otherwise, not much to be excited about. Taking this one for Eldritch Heritage might actually be really useful for a bard, as the beguiling voice ability could be very useful, and an extra use or two of fascinate couldn’t hurt. | FateCoreSRD You're also immune to bleed, disease, and poison, though at 20th level that's not a huge deal. (19th). Final Thought: If you are trying to play a melee-focused Sorcerer that is NOT going for Dragon Disciple, this is one of your best options, no question. You just became a better bard than a bard. Arcana: Get a bonus on Stealth checks when you cast a darkness or shadow spell, for 1d4 rounds. Use this to summon something inherently evil like a demon or devil, and they’ll essentially have DR/-. Read on. Snow Shroud: This one is pretty cool. An interesting note on this ability: If you choose it using Improved Eldritch Heritage, you gain a new spell known from the Sorcerer/Wizard list. : Now we’re talking! Let me also point out that this is one of the best abilities you could ever get from Eldritch Heritage, espectially if you happen to be an arcane caster whose casting stat is constitution... like the Scarred Witch Doctor, perhaps? Source = CRB. This bloodline is all about manipulation of stone and earth, so it’d be great for an underground campaign. (19th). Free black tentacles that grapple incorporeal creatures? You’re not going to come up against that many animal type creatures at level 20, so that part is almost useless. Final Thought: This bloodline is a mix of awesome and weird, and honestly I love every second of it. Eldritch Heritage/VMC: I could see a rogue or other infiltrator character picking this up as a VMC option for the altered form power, and touch of agony could come in handy as well. - Arguably the most important skill in the game, and you get it added to your class skill list! Trade it out for. Age out is also really good, so I'd say this is even a good candidate for VMC as well, if you're interested in not being affected by ANY debilitating conditions, and the flavor is very strong as well. Bonus Feats: Dodge, Improved Initiative, and Weapon Finesse are all good feats, so this list is decent, if not great. I only with there was some way to grab that Strength of the Stone. Solipsism: This is an incredible power for a debuff-focused caster. It makes use of nanites, which are microscopic machines that help repair broken constructs, and androids naturally have millions of them floating around in their artificial bodies. Thanks to this ability, you won’t ever have to cast fly or reduce person on yourself again. That’s actually a decent ability, but it’ll make your allies hate you, most likely. Aquatic Telepathy: I like this power also, even though it’s definitely situational. You get the option to create objects, animate them, and eventually just change anything into anything else. The summon monster 9 spell thrown on at the end is obviously meant to be used to summon demons to fight alongside you. The Impossible bloodline lets you essentially become Neo from the Matrix, allowing you to comprehend things you shouldn't be able to, and perform seemingly impossible feats of magic. This is a skill that every adventurer will need to roll at some point, so it’s a great class skill to pick up. Elemental Movement: +30 feet movement means that now you can move almost as fast as a monk of your level, without using any spells. Eldritch Heritage/VMC: A trapper ranger or any other character with access to ranger traps could benefit greatly from these abilities, though you will probably already have trap sense in that case, so skip the 3rd-level power if you can. When the target is affected by this spell, its scales grow jagged spikes. This is one of the best bloodline capstones out there, by far. Sweet! If you go Sage, you’re getting to use Int for everything, which makes you a much more well-rounded character and can let you fill more party roles (such as the rogue-type) than if you had to keep that Charisma score high. [Umbral Arcana]: This one is slightly better than the regular Shadow bloodline arcana, because you get to raise your effective caster level by 1 anytime you’re in dim light or darker, and let’s be honest, you’re going to be in darkness a LOT with this bloodline. This list includes a nice variety of spells,a nd several of them are ones that no Sorcerer should be without. Does it look like your fighter might be going down in one round, but you’re flying safely above the battle? I would recommend taking some of the. These spells also give you a lot of options for running away from a battle or confusing an enemy into ignoring you, such as. [WIld Feedback]: This is another relatively useless ability, only helpful when you’re trying to dispel other people’s spells. I could see picking this up as a witch or oracle. As a capstone, this one is pretty terrible. Bonus Feats: This set of feats is pretty nice. Now, it also means if you're under the effect of any emotion-based effects, you have to make concentration checks, which hurts a bit, but being able to cast 9th-level spells in full plate armor without wasting any feats on it is pretty amazing. : Save yourself from death once per day. That is excellent on its own, but you also get immunity to fire damage AND plane shift once per day. One WIth Abaddon: Again, just like the other heavenly and hellish lineages, this capstone isn’t that impressive. You’ll probably end up spending regular feats on some of these also. (19th). You can give an enemy two diseases at once, and this is pretty sweet. I like it. Diplomacy is a good skill to have to talk your way out of a situation, and it uses your casting stat. Trade it out for Blood Piercing for sure. This is a great ability, but I think the writers made a slight mistake in not specifying that you, the caster, should be immune to the poison and damage of the swarm. If the target was ever addicted to the drug at any point in the past, it takes a â4 penalty on its saving throw. This ability essentially allows you to trade away a debilitating effect such as paralysis or blindness to take a -1 penalty to Strength, Dex, and Con. You could always invest in the Reach Spell feat, though, which would make it much easier to get those spells to stick without running in and risking your butt. For example, if you chose Heroic Defiance, then once per day you could delay a negative effect on you (such as paralysis) by one round, and that would give you time to cast surmount affliction and have the effect delayed much longer, BUT Heroic Defiance requires Diehard, Endurance, and a +8 base Fortitude save! If you like knowing about your enemies ahead of time, this is the bloodline for you! Overall, a very good list of bonus spells. You fly at a speed of 40 ft. and can hustle over long distances. Ride the Lightning: You turn into a lightning bolt, dealing damage equal to your Thunderbolt power along the way. NO THANK YOU! Eldritch Heritage this one for your Rogue, Ninja, or Ranger, because everyone could use Shadow Well, and the prerequisites for it are less steep than the Shadowdancer PrC. This arcana lets you change your elemental-based spells to electricity on the fly. Just like all the others, this doesn’t provide enough versatility to be exciting. Anyway, this is a cool bloodline. Immunity to two energy types and resistance to two others is excellent, and you can fly around constantly (Unless you chose to go Empyreal, which means you didn't get the wings in the first place!). If you’re trying to stay out of melee, steer clear. Consider trading it for Blood Intensity.
