Hi everyone,
I was planning to get a Skill Focus and Eldritch Heritage Feat for my character and was thinking about the Linnorm Bloodline, for obvious reason.
At the level 1 power does increase in power with sorcerer level, that is with character level -2 for Eldrtich Heritage.
It starts out with +2 racial Bonus on Perception, Darkvision 60ft. and Scent. At 5th and 7th level the bonuses increase to +4 and +6 and the range of the darkvision increases to 90ft and 120ft. At 11th level the bonus reaches +8 and one gains blind sense.
So, all in all, that is a lot of stuff, but it's all themed around sensing things. Maybe the other bloodline powers are weaker in relation to other bloodlines, I can't tell. Since I want to use Eldritch Heritage to gain access, all I get is this basic power.
Also, the bonuses come at character level 3rd, 7th, 9th and 13th, since Eldritch Heritage has a virtual sorcerer level of character level -2.
So, are these bonuses broken?
Dark Vision of 90ft. is available as option for Half-Orc and Dwarf at level 1, although they would need to trade in another racial ability (half-orc), or suffer penalties in bright light (dwarf).
Scent is available as a feat for Half-Orc and Orc, prerequisite is Wis 13.
Also there is a feat to boost dark vision to 120ft.
Darkvision is available as a spell staring 3rd level, with 1h/level duration. The stronger version with 120ft. range is available at level 7.
I can't think of a spell generating scent like powers, though.
So, what's your opinion?
Is the power so good, that it has to be considered broken, or is it just good?
