So like the title vaguely asks,

Is there a conversion to 3.5 for the Bloodlines Sorcerer? I'm at a complete loss with those offered in UA, and feel it would just be easier playing the BL sorcerer from Pathfinder...but I only play 3.5.

And they have Eschew Materials for free--why has 3.5 not amended this? :'(

I did a set of backporting of sorcerer bloodlines I think I did 14 or maybe 15, as some of the pathfinder ones either a) did not make any sense to me or b) just does not exist in my own campaign world.

YAAY FOR READING!! I did 14 bloodlines and with the help of a super cool feelow GiTper made a 15th!

Here is my take on the elemental bloodline (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?460691-New-Sorcerer-Bloodline-)) I am at a different computer so I am not able to post all of them, but you get the idea :)

I'd say the simplest thing is just lift the Pathfinder Sorcerer wholesale and just play that in your 3.5 games, while making appropriate changes for skills. Talk to your DM about the PF's d6 HD vs 3.5's d4 to make sure it is alright that you're not as squishy as usual.

It's always bothered me that the 3.5 sorcerer has such a cool concept, but there' almost no difference between them and the wizard except the number of spells available. Good choice going PF sorc.

Next to wizards, sorcerers are one of my favorites. There's just so much to fluff, a lot to build, and for the longest time I've been trying to make a cool character. I've posted before about going Sandshaper for his build, but after looking at the PF sorcerer, it seems best to just stick straight sorcerer. That has never crossed my mind before.

I want to go with Djinni bloodline.

My sorcerer is fluffed as "Son of Kol, Seventy-Seventh Prince of Bajaal" (being one of the many princes of the Elemental Plane of Air).

There is a lot I want to do, which would be easier with this bloodline feature. And the whole class...

I also recently discovered the Suli-Jann (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/advancedRaceGuide/uncommonRaces/sulis.html) (race?) and a PrC similar to the Sha'ir, for sorcerers and wizards--the Daivrat (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/other-paizo/c-d/daivrat); next to skills and such, what else is there to really fix to make them 3.5 compatible?

Also, I could just refluff the "Jann" part (i.e. Suli-Jinn).

Suggestions?
