Archetype Features

Anarchic

Your magical power taps into pure anarchy.

Associated Bloodline

Protean.

Bloodline Arcana

Whenever you fail a concentration check to cast a spell, a cantrip effect is created. Randomly determine one of your cantrips known (for example, if you know 6 cantrips, roll 1d6). There is a 50% chance this cantrip affects a target of your choice within 60 feet; otherwise it affects you.

Bloodline Powers

Raw magical energy lashes out when you destroy or negate hostile spells.

Wild Feedback

At 3rd level, when you successfully dispel or counterspell an opponent's spell, the caster (if it is within 100 feet) takes 1d6 points of damage +1 per level of the spell affected. This bloodline power replaces protean resistances.

Aerial

Your magic is more focused on the power of air and rain than on lightning and thunder.

Associated Bloodline

Stormborn.

Bloodline Arcana

Whenever outdoors during any form of precipitation, your effective caster level is increased by 2.

Bloodline Powers

The greatest storms bring ruin through wind, not electricity.

Windcaller

At 9th level, you can call the winds to obey your commands for 1 minute per level. This functions like control winds, except that you may choose to be immune to any increased wind effects you create. The ability's duration does not need to be consecutive, but it must be used in 1-minute increments. This bloodline power replaces thunderbolt.

Bedrock

Your earth magic is more defensive than offensive.

Associated Bloodline

Deep Earth.

Bloodline Arcana

Whenever you cast a spell of the summoning subschool, the creatures summoned gain DR/adamantine equal to 1/2 your sorcerer level (minimum 1). This does not stack with any DR the creature might have.

Bloodline Powers

Rock is timeless; it endures.

Iron Hide

At 9th level, as a swift action, you can grant yourself DR 10/adamantine for a number of rounds per day equal to your sorcerer level. The rounds do not need to be used consecutively. This bloodline power replaces crystal shard.

Brutal

The powers of the Abyss can vary radically, even for similar fiends.

Associated Bloodline

Abyssal.

Bloodline Arcana

Whenever you cast a spell that deals hit point damage, one target of your choice affected by the spell takes 2 additional hit points of damage. This ability has no effect on spells that do not deal hit point damage (such as ability score damage).

Bloodline Powers

Flight is often the key to survival.

Wings of the Abyss

At 9th level, you can sprout leathery wings and fly for a number of minutes per day equal to your sorcerer level, with a speed of 60 feet and good maneuverability. This duration does not need to be consecutive, but it must be used in 1-minute increments. This bloodline power replaces strength of the abyss.

Empyreal

Your heavenly power derives from insight rather than force of personality.

Associated Bloodline

Celestial.

Bloodline Arcana

Unlike most sorcerers whose innate magic is powered by force of personality, you use pure willpower to master and fuel your magic. You use your Wisdom, rather than your Charisma, to determine all class features and effects relating to your sorcerer class, such as bonus spells per day, maximum spell level you can cast, and the save DCs of your spells. You gain a +2 bonus on all Heal and Knowledge (religion) checks.

Bloodline Powers

Your quasi-divine nature gives you strange powers.

Sacred Cistern

At 9th level, your bloodline makes you a natural receptacle of divine energy. You can channel energy once per day as a cleric of your sorcerer level – 4. This bloodline power replaces wings of heaven.

Envenomed

The ophidian source of your bloodline has more to do with stealth and assassination than it does with leadership and alliances.

Associated Bloodline

Serpentine.

Bloodline Arcana

You gain a +2 bonus on Acrobatics, Climb, and Stealth checks.

Bloodline Powers

The stink of poison taints your magic.

Envenom

At 3rd level, as a swift action, you can lick or bite a melee weapon to imbue it with 1 dose of black adder venom. The poison's DC is equal to 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier. You may use this ability once per day at 3rd level, and one additional time per day for every three additional levels. The poison cannot be removed or stored, and the weapon loses the benefit of the poison after the first successful attack or 1 hour has passed. The bloodline power replaces serpentfriend.

Groveborn

Some plant magic is more green, while some is more brown, like hardwood.

Associated Bloodline

Bloodline Arcana

Your powers of compulsion can affect even plant creatures. Whenever you cast a mind-affecting or language-dependent spell, it affects creatures of the plant type as if they were humanoids that understood your language.

Bloodline Powers

Your nature powers create tough, resilient minions.

Lush Summoning

At 3rd level, whenever you summon creatures with a conjuration (summoning) spell, you can decide that they appear green and leafy. The natural armor bonus of such creatures is increased by +2, and they gain a +4 bonus on saves against paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep, and stunning. This bloodline power replaces photosynthesis.

Karmic

The universe punishes those who interfere with destiny.

Associated Bloodline

Destined.

Bloodline Arcana

If you are casting defensively because a creature is threatening you and you fail your concentration check, one of the creatures that is threatening you provokes an attack of opportunity from you or from one ally who is adjacent to the enemy. You decide which creature provokes this attack and which of its adjacent opponents may make the attack.

Bloodline Powers

Your blood responds angrily when you are attacked.

Fate's Retribution

Starting at 1st level, when you are hit by a melee attack, as an immediate action, you can curse the creature that struck you.

You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. This bloodline power replaces touch of destiny.

Linnorm

Your draconic heritage stems from a mighty, primordial linnorm rather than from the more common, somewhat civilized dragons.

Elemental Spit

Starting at 1st level, you can fire an elemental ray that matches your linnorm bloodline's energy type as a standard action, targeting any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack.

This bloodline power replaces claws.

Pit-Touched

Your diabolic corruption is from a source in the deepest parts of Hell.

Associated Bloodline

Infernal.

Bloodline Arcana

Bloodline Powers

You can infuse raw energy into your summoned minions.

Elementalist Summoning

At 9th level, whenever you summon a creature, it gains energy resistance 10 against the energy type that matches your elemental bloodline (if it already has such resistance, its resistance increases by +5), and its natural attacks deal an additional 1d6 points of damage of the same energy type. This bloodline power replaces elemental blast.

Rime-Blooded

The wintry origin of your magic flows like ice water in your veins.

Associated Bloodline

Boreal.

Bloodline Arcana

Whenever you cast a spell with the cold descriptor, you may select one target of the spell to be slowed (as the spell) for 1 round. A Fortitude save (DC 10 + the level of cold spell + your Charisma modifier) negates the effect.

Bloodline Powers

Sometimes you must bring the cold to your enemies.

Sage

Scholars of the arcane are always creating new means to use magic.

Associated Bloodline

Arcane.

Bloodline Arcana

Unlike most sorcerers, whose innate magic is powered by force of personality, you use your intellect to understand and master your mystic powers. You use your Intelligence, rather than your Charisma, to determine all class features and effects relating to your sorcerer class, such as bonus spells per day, the maximum spell level you can cast, the save DCs of your spells, and the number of daily uses of your bloodline powers. You gain a +2 bonus on all Knowledge (arcana) and Spellcraft checks.

Bloodline Powers

Your preferred focus is a bolt of mind-spun magic.

Arcane Bolt

Starting at 1st level, you can unleash a ray of magic force as a standard action, targeting any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack.

Water Blast

As a standard action, you can fire a bolt of water at a foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack. The foe is knocked prone, and at your option may be pushed 5 feet directly away from you.

This bloodline power replaces dehydrating touch.

Sylvan

Your ties to nature have more to do with creatures than with capriciousness.

Fey.
