Heritage feat-based sorcerer revamp, plus numerous heritage feats

[Hashmalum]

So I decided to attempt to create a sorcerer class that compared better to wizard than the existing sorcerer class. I also decided that I wanted to incorporate a bloodline class feature, but I did not want to simply use the Pathfinder sorcerer for various reasons:

The various bloodline arcana powers are a form of "Pathfinderitis" (the swelling of the character sheet with numerous small abilities, many of which are of questionable use).
PrCs are a major part of 3.5E for good or for ill, and making the bloodline advancement strictly dependent on staying in the base class hampers that.
Pathfinder bloodlines don't interact with the existing draconic and heritage feats.
Pathfinder didn't take the opportunity to get rid of the unnecessary and completely inexplicable 1 level delay in spell advancement relative to wizard.
Pathfinder bloodline bonus spells don't incorporate applicable spells from 3.5E sourcebooks such as Draconomicon, Libris Mortis, etc.

So I created a sorcerer that gives bloodline powers in the form of heritage feats. Of course there weren't nearly enough such feats, and many bloodlines weren't covered, so I created a bunch more. This addresses the first three points above; players don't have to take feats that give character sheet bloating useless powers, bloodlines can still be advanced while taking a PrC (albeit at a slower rate), and the existing heritage feats are an integral part of the system.

I would like to thank aimlessPolymath for his numerous invaluable contributions in reviewing and suggesting changes to this project.

Bloodline: You must choose one bloodline which may not be changed thereafter. This bloodline will determine your bonus feats and bonus spells known. If you have already taken the heritage feat of a given bloodline, you must take that bloodline. If you are an aasimar or good outsider, you must take the celestial bloodline; if you are a tiefling or evil outsider, you must take the fiendish bloodline; if you are a dragon or have the dragonblood subtype, you must take either of the two draconic bloodlines; if you are a fey, you must take the fey bloodline; and if you have an elemental subtype (air, earth, fire, water) you must take that bloodline.
Heritage feat: You gain the listed heritage feat for your bloodline. If you already have this feat, you may choose a feat from the list of bloodline feats for your bloodline.
Bloodline feat: You may choose a feat from the list of bloodline feats for your bloodline, or from the following list: Extra Slot CA, Extra Spell CA, Heritage Scholar New.
Bloodline spell: You add the spell listed for your bloodline of the given level to your sorcerer spells known as a spell of the given level. Note that some bloodlines give access to spells at a lower level than they are normally attainable; these are denoted with an asterisk*. If you already know the given spell, choose another spell of the same level from the normal sorcerer spell list as a bonus spell.
Spontaneous metamagic: You can cast sorcerer spells (only) without increasing the casting time if you apply a metamagic feat.

The creature's ability to breathe water ends immediately if you are separated by more than 5 feet or if you die, at which point the creature begins to drown if it is still underwater. This ability does not hamper the creature's ability to breathe air, nor does it change the creature's ability (or inability) to swim. You may have a number of creatures under this effect at a time equal to the number of heritage feats you have (including this one).

Furthermore, your familiar automatically gains the ability to breathe water as above as long as it is within range of your empathic link (normally 1 mile).

Watery Drenching [Heritage]
Your water elemental ancestry allows you to drench those you touch.
Prerequisites: Water Heritage.
Benefit: You can drench those you strike with your melee touch attacks, natural weapons and unarmed attacks. This puts out nonmagical fires of Large size or smaller, extinguishes flaming creatures, deals 1d6 damage to elemental creatures of the fire subtype for each heritage feat you have (including this one), and has a chance to extinguish magical fires (treat as if dispel magic were being employed by a caster of a level equal to your Hit Dice). If you successfully put out a fire, touching it deals no damage to you. This is considered to be a supernatural ability.

Your water elemental ancestry allows you to change into a liquid form.
Prerequisites: Water Heritage, character level 5th.

Your damaging spells restore your vitality.
Prerequisites: Ability to cast spells from the school of necromancy.
Benefit: Any spell that deals lethal hit point damage, Constitution damage, any type of ability drain, or bestows negative levels can be cast as a vampiric spell. A vampiric spell restores hit points to the caster equal to the total amount of lethal hit point damage it deals (up to the target's hit points + 10), plus 5 points per point of Constitution damage, ability drain, or negative level bestowed. Against nonliving targets, no hit points are restored. Hit points in excess of the caster's normal maximum become temporary hit points that last for one hour. You may not have more temporary hit points than your normal total maximum. A vampiric spell uses up a slot four levels higher than the spell's actual level.

You add the spells from a chosen clerical domain to your sorcerer class list.
Prerequisites: Dragon type, ability to cast spells as a sorcerer.

Duration: 1 hour
Saving Throw: Will disbelief (if interacted with)

You create illusionary food that looks, smells, tastes, and feels completely real. The illusion reacts appropriately to being cut, handled, or eaten. The illusionary food even causes creatures that eat it to feel satiated normally—although it does not truly provide nourishment. However, when the spell's duration expires, any feeling of satiation from the food also expires, likely leaving those who have eaten it even hungrier than before.

If the food is crushed, burnt, or otherwise destroyed by any means other than cutting or eating it, it disappears. It will likewise disappear if touched by cold iron.

Ha-Naga Form

Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level (D)

When you cast this spell, you assume the physical appearance and many of the qualities and abilities of a ha-naga (Serpent Kingdoms pp. 75-76). While under the effect of the spell, your creature type changes to aberration, and your size changes to Colossal. You have the space and reach of a ha-naga (30 feet/20 feet). You gain a coil whip attack, which deals 4d6 points of damage + your Str modifier, a secondary sting attack, which deals 2d8 points of damage + half your Str modifier plus poison (injury, DC 10 + half your character level + your Con modifier, initial and secondary damage 2d8 Con), and a secondary bite attack which deals 4d8 points of damage + half your Str modifier. You gain the Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution of an average ha-naga (Str 27, Dex 38, Con 32), but you retain your own mental ability scores. Your base land speed becomes 60 feet, and you gain a fly speed of 120 feet (perfect maneuverability) as a supernatural ability. You gain darkvision out to 60 feet.

Your class and level, hit points, alignment, base attack bonus, and base saving throw bonuses all remain the same. You lose any spell-like abilities of your own form, and you lose any extraordinary special abilities from your own form. You retain any supernatural abilities of your own form. You keep all extraordinary special attacks derived from class levels (such as a barbarian's rage or a rogue's sneak attack), but you lose any from your normal form not derived from class levels. You do not gain the ha-naga's spellcasting, but you can speak and cast your own spells while in ha-naga form although you must physically touch any necessary material components. Your natural armor bonus becomes +24, regardless of any natural armor bonus from your normal form. While in ha-naga form, you gain the ha-naga's damage reduction 15/epic and spell resistance 30 qualities. Your equipment melds into your new form and becomes nonfunctional. You gain a ha-naga's charming gaze as a supernatural ability; all those who meet your gaze must make a Will save (DC 10 + half your character level + your Cha modifier) or be charmed as per mass charm monster. You gain a ha-naga's improved grab extraordinary ability; if you hit with your coil whip attack, you may attempt to start a grapple as a free action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity provided the target is Huge or smaller. If you grapple an opponent, you can constrict as an extraordinary ability for 4d6 points of damage + one-and-a-half times your Str modifier.

Material component: The scale of a ha-naga.

Know weight was originally created by Ciaran on ENWorld.

Predict Weather
Divination [Air]
Level: Brd 0, Drd 0, Rgr 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Instantaneous

When this spell is cast, you instantly know the general weather conditions (approximate wind speed and direction, type and approximate degree of precipitation, approximate degree of cloud cover, approximate temperature, and presence of fog, lightning, or tornadoes) in a 2 mile radius for the next 8 hours. The weather cannot be predicted if it is currently being magically altered somehow (such as with a control weather spell); if this is the case, the caster knows it (although not who is controlling the weather or how).

Purify Air
Transmutation [Air]
Level: Drd 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Area: One 10-ft. cube/level (S)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates (object)
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)

Rapture
Conjuration (Teleportation) [Good]
Level: Clr 7, Sor/Wiz 9
Components: V, S, F/DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets: One creature/level
Duration: See text
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) and see text
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

You transport the spell's subjects to a special region of the plane of Elysium for intense recovery. This region intensifies both the plane's minor positive-dominant trait and the plane's entrapping trait; creatures in this region experience rapid healing and an intense feeling of well-being—so much so, that they may never want to leave.

Creatures affected by this spell gain fast healing 10, and recover one point of ability damage and ability drain in every ability score per round. Lost limbs and organs grow back in 2d10 rounds; severed body parts may be reattached in just one round. Negative levels are removed at a rate of one per round, starting with the most recent. Spells and effects that inflict morale penalties or specifically inflict pain, despair, or hopelessness expire. Even vile damage may be healed, as the special region of Elysium is considered to be a hallowed area.

Each subject of the spell may return to exactly where they were when the spell was cast at any time by act of will as a free action; however, the longer that they have remained in Elysium, the higher the DC of the Will save they must make to return. The DC is 10 + half the number of rounds that the subject has stayed in Elysium; if the Will save is failed, the creature loses all desire to return to their normal life and is trapped in Elysium as a petitioner, requiring a full wish or miracle to recover (see Manual of the Planes p. 139). When the subject's Will save DC reaches their Will save bonus + 20 (in other words, they would need to roll 20 to save), entrapping occurs automatically. Outsiders are immune to the entrapping effect.

If this spell is dispelled, the subjects lose their ability to return by act of will described above, and will eventually be entrapped unless they can arrange their own transport off the plane. Creatures attempting to leave the plane by other means still must make the Will save or be entrapped, and whether they succeed or fail, the duration of the spell expires for them and they lose their "free trip" back.

Arcane Focus: A special forked platinum rod costing 1,000 gp.



Spider Form, Least
Transmutation (Polymorph)
Level: Sor/Wiz 0

As lesser spider form (Drow of the Underdark p. 63), except you take on the abilities of a Small fiendish monstrous spider (Monster Manual pp. 288-289).

Unlike the other spider form spells, you do not gain any temporary hit points.

Necromancy
Level: Sor/Wiz 0
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

The target sustains one point of Constitution damage. Multiple castings of this spell over a long period of time can thus gradually reduce even a healthy person to sickness and death. When cast as a still, silent spell, the cause of the victim's illness can be quite effectively hidden.

Material component: A pinch of mold or mold spores.

Web of Lies
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Language-Dependent, Mind-Affecting]
Level: Sor/Wiz 8
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: See text

You gain the benefits of the glibness spell; in addition, whenever you use your Bluff skill to convince someone of something you know to be untrue, they must make a Will save or become a secondary target of the spell (spell resistance is also applicable).

You are aware of the location of secondary targets of the spell as if you had cast status on them. If a secondary target ceases to believe the lie that you told them, they cease to be a secondary target, and you are mentally alerted of this. Furthermore, when a secondary target attempts to convince somebody else of the lie that you told them, the individual(s) become tertiary targets of the spell.

Tertiary targets are targeted with a mass suggestion (as if you had cast it on them directly) to believe what they were just told. This may happen a number of times equal to your caster level. (All secondary targets share the same mass suggestion pool. You are aware at all times how many mass suggestions remain in the pool.) Like the secondary targets, you are also aware of the location of tertiary targets who fail to resist the mass suggestion, and you are alerted if they cease to believe the mass suggestion (which also causes them to cease to be tertiary targets).

Successful dispels against a tertiary target remove the mass suggestion and status effect from them, but the remainder of the web of lie's effects continue unabated. Successful dispels against a secondary target likewise cause them to cease to be secondary targets (you are also mentally alerted of this), but do not otherwise affect the spell. But if you are personally affected by a successful dispel against the web of lies, all of its effects collapse immediately.

Material Component: A carefully preserved and intact spider web.

This is a really neat fix! I'm definitely going to take a look when I have more time, but I'm definitely with you on bloodlines-as-feats.

[Hashmalum]

So I did a chaos bloodline. A law bloodline would be tougher to do since there aren't any suitable lawful outsiders that breed with humanoids. Grey slaad can assume humanoid form at will, but formians and modrons can't and probably wouldn't want to.

Alter Coloration
Transmutation
Level: Brd 0, Sor/Wiz 0
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Instantaneous

You can alter the color of your hair, eyes, or skin (choose one only per casting) to any other single color of your choosing, whether natural or unnatural. The change cannot be dispelled or dismissed, but the effect will gradually wear off over the course of several weeks as your hair grows out, the affected skin cells die out and are replaced, etc. If used as part of a disguise, changed eye color gives a +1 bonus to the Disguise check, changed hair color gives a +2 bonus to the Disguise check, and changed skin color gives +3 (all of these bonuses stack with each other, but not with other magic such as change self, alter self, or polymorph).



Corporeal Instability, Greater
Transmutation [Chaotic]
Level: Sor/Wiz 5
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

You cause the target to become a spongy, amorphous mass. Unless the victim manages to control the effect (see below), its shape melts, flows, writhes, and boils.

An affected creature is unable to hold or use any item. Clothing, armor, rings, and helmets become useless. Large items worn or carried—armor, backpacks, even shirts—hamper more than help, reducing the victim’s Dexterity score by 4. Soft or misshapen feet and legs reduce speed to 10 feet or one-quarter normal, whichever is less. Searing pain courses along the nerves, so strong that the victim cannot act coherently. The victim cannot cast spells or use magic items, and it attacks blindly, unable to distinguish friend from foe (-4 penalty on attack rolls and a 50% miss chance, regardless of the attack roll).

Each round the victim spends in an amorphous state causes 1 point of Wisdom drain from mental shock. If the victim’s Wisdom score falls to 0, it becomes a chaos beast. The chaos beast has an initial attitude towards you of indifferent.

A victim can regain its own shape by taking a standard action to attempt a DC 15 Charisma check (this check DC does not vary based on the spell level or caster's ability scores). A success reestablishes the creature’s normal form for 1 minute. On a failure, the victim can still repeat this check each round until successful.

Corporeal instability is not a disease or a curse and so is hard to remove. As this spell is instantaneous, dispel magic and similar do not work. A shapechange or stoneskin spell does not cure an afflicted creature but fixes its form for the duration of the spell. A restoration, heal, or greater restoration spell removes the affliction (a separate restoration is necessary to restore any drained points of Wisdom).

Material Component: Slime from a chaos beast.

[aimlessPolymath]

Alright, I said I would, I'm going to do a review.
First of all, I'd like to say that the biggest problem I've had with Pathfinder bloodlines is that they're sorcerer only- you can only be a "draconic" or "elemental" person if you use it to cast spells. These feats don't have this problem, which is fantastic.

There's a lot of bloodlines here, so I'm going to take a while.

Spells:
0: Predict Weather: Niche ability, but you get tons of 0-level spells anyway. Not on Sorcerer spell list.
1: Purify Air: Not a very good 1st level spell due to extremely niche usage. Not on Sorcerer spell list.
2: Gust of Wind: A handy but somewhat niche spell.
3: Wind Wall: A good spell. Not one you would normally take due to the presence of many good 3rd level spells.
4: Air Walk: Inferior to fly in all respects except for duration, sadly. Not on Sorcerer spell list. Sadly, I don't think it combines well with Air Heritage.
5: Control Winds: It's very useful for battlefield control, if somewhat limited in immediate effect. I think you don't get the druid version? It's good at higher CL to make a tornado, of course. Not on Sorcerer spell list
6: Cloud-Walkers: Like Air Walk, it beats out Mass Fly mostly in duration (which is good! Could get some nice overland travel over a short distance!). Not on Sorcerer spell list
7: Control Weather: Weather control is very nice.
8: Whirlwind: Nice. Very fun spell. Not on Sorcerer spell list
9: Storm of Vengeance: VERY fun spell, if you get the time to concentrate. Not on Sorcerer Spell list

Verdict: Compared to the Arcane or Draconic bloodlines, which I peeked at later on, spell options are somewhat limited and niche, up until you get the 8th-9th level bombs. It does contain a good amount of spells not on the Sorcerer spell list, but they are fairly limited. I'd like to see either dropping the breadth of those later bloodlines or making these spells a bit more generally usable- specifically Cloudwalkers and Air Walk, which neither benefit from Air Heritage nor offer significant benefits over fly. Maybe grab Wind Walk instead of Cloudwalkers?

Feats:
Air Heritage is weakish for people without fly speeds, great otherwise.

Feats:
Airy Bouyancy is very handy for pseudo-flight- could help out archers who want to avoid melee, fighters who want to chase fliers ("jump" as a move action 20 ft up), sorcerers who want an elevated firing position.
Airy Flight: Fantastic feat to take for a constant fly speed, I think. Saves at least a standard action to get off the ground, works well with Air heritage.
Airy Form: I am a fan of this spell, and giving it to stealthy characters is nice.
Airy Mastery: Eh. Improbable to come up.
Airy Resistance: Could maybe see a combination with Control Winds, but I can't think of many specifically air element damaging spells.
Airy Transparency: Everyone loves invisibility! Good feat.
Element Focus: Not a whole lot of these spells have DCs, actually. The ones that do (8th-9th level bombs) do get some help, I guess.
Element Caller: Pretty good maybe, but keep in mind many elementals have pretty cruddy Charisma already. Discount is nice. Contact Other Plane is handy,
Elemental Protection: Resistance 5 is okay. Not great, but okay.
Elemental Reflexes: This is pretty good. Lightning Reflexes as a prereq is a bit bad, but the bonus you get goes from +2 to +6 total. Squishy wizard don't want to die to unexpected blasts, although Reflex saves are the least nasty to fail.
Elemental Spellcasting: Ooh! Could be pretty useful!
Greater Element Focus: See Element Focus.
Heritage Darkvision: It's decent. Depends how much there's darkness in the game. Could fill a party out to all-darkvision, which is a big help to stealth.
Storm Magic: Very very nice, since they can whip up a storm with a bit of preparation.

Verdict: The heritage-specific ones are pretty good even for noncasters. Looks like there are good options here.


I'll try to do a few in that vein when I have time.
A quick observation: Air bloodline has a number of spells not on the Sorcerer spell list, but they're more niche spells. Arcane bloodline (and also Draconic) have spells that are mostly on the Sorcerer spell list already, but are more generally useful. Is this an intentional trade-off you're making?

[Hashmalum]

First of all, I'm really glad to see specific and detailed feedback on this! Thank you!



Verdict: Compared to the Arcane or Draconic bloodlines, which I peeked at later on, spell options are somewhat limited and niche, up until you get the 8th-9th level bombs.

Maybe grab Wind Walk instead of Cloudwalkers?Wind walk for cloudwalkers sounds like a good substitution, yes. I'll edit that in. My goal when doing the air list was to have more stuff that was specifically air-related, rather than filling it out with things that were one step removed like lightning spells, etc. This entailed a lot of raiding druid's list, because that's where the air spells were. (If I relaxed this restriction and redid the list, I'd probably create a feat that added a bunch of the original spells to sorcerer's list.) Anyway I was fine with having weaker spells if the feats made up for it. If you think that air bloodline ends up being weak compared to the other bloodlines, though, then I'm fine with changing the bonus spells to something more broadly useful. I'd like to see reviews of the other bloodlines first though.



Verdict: The heritage-specific ones are pretty good even for noncasters. Looks like there are good options here.
Yeah, it was easy to think of good stuff appropriate for air feats. The other elements were harder.

Arcane bloodline (and also Draconic) have spells that are mostly on the Sorcerer spell list already, but are more generally useful. Is this an intentional trade-off you're making?Not specifically, no. Arcane bloodline bonus spells were in fact ripped off from Pathfinder's arcane bloodline. Draconic was chosen mostly to help a sorcerer imitate a dragon and the spells to do that just happened to be better than most of the air spells.

Anyway, thanks again for your interest!

[aimlessPolymath]

Alright, moving on!

Alternate 4th level spell option for Air: Cyclonic Blast, dropped from a 5th level to a 4th level spell. It's basically an untyped Lightning Bolt which bull rushes. It's good for blaster mages due to untyped-ness, but not overpowering, I don't think.

Arcane Bloodline:

Most of these spells are very handy to have, to a significant degree. I will note alternatives which could be in-theme, if somewhat less powerful, if you're interested in tweaking the list for less general power. (note: I found a version of dndtools which has working filters, and am using it to pick spells-most of my picks will be from early in the alphabet as a result)
Spells:
0: Read Magic is a decent spell to have available, if somewhat of an odd one- the spell's function is essentially least comprehend languages for magical inscriptions only. Detect Magic might be more appropriate.
1: Identify is a generally useful spell, if not one your average sorcerer will know. Alternative option is Nystul's Magic Aura.
2: Invisibility is a extremely handy spell, both on yourself while you toss out buffs, and on the rogue. A sorcerer has good reason to want it! Alternative spell: Dispelling Touch (Player's Handbook II, single-target dispel magic at touch range which only ever dispels one spell).
3: Dispel Magic, useful against a wide variety of spells, and one of the spells a sorcerer would probably pick at this level anyway. Alternate spell is Arcane Sight, probably.
4: Dimension Door: Good mobility. Not necessarily a first pick for this level (polymorph, looking at you), but something that will probably come up. Most directly theme-relevant spell here is Assay Spell Resistance, from Complete Arcane/Spell Compendium. Other alternates include Detect Scrying (situational), Globe of Invulnerability, Lesser (ditto), Mystic Surge (Player's Handbook II, adds +2 DC and +1 CL to one spell).
5: Overland Flight. Cast it and forget it. Rarely takes more than one spell slot out of your day, and flight is always good. Alt. options here are Aiming at the Target(+Concentration checks, Complete Arcane), Break Enchantment, Duelward (better counterspells- only add this if you keep Dispel Magic; Complete Arcane/Spell Compendium), or Mana Flux(20% spell failure rate for basically everyone).
6: True Seeing. A more situational spell than the rest, but when you need it, you need it. Alternatives include Antimagic Field and Contingency, but I'd say True Seeing is a fine spell to add here.
7: Greater Teleport: A fantastic spell to have and everyone knows it. There's Greater Arcane Sight, Limited Wish, Greater Scrying, and Spell Turning, I think.
8: Power Word Stun: No save, just suck (as long as you have few enough hit points). There are fewer spells of this level, but take a look at Chain Dispel (PHII), Protection from Spells, and... that's about it. Leaving the big spells in at this level is maybe OK, really.
9: Wish. It's got an XP cost, which I'm not really big on for a spell you have to take, but it's basically a solve-anything button. Alternatives include Absorption(Spell turning, but you recharge spell slots instead: Complete Arcane/Spell Compendium), Elminister's Effulgent Epuration (nope up to CL spells. You can give the spell to other people, too. Doesn't block area spells, but you basically win against most casters. In the Spell Compendium), and maybe Eye of Power(Cast up to 3rd level spells through an Arcane Eye. Range: Unlimited. Spell Compendium). Honestly, most 9th level spells are amazing.

Verdict: All good spells. Maybe too good. Included possible alternatives to pull it back a bit- all pulled from the Sorcerer/Wizard list.

Feat options:
Spell Focus/Greater spell focus- just great.
Any metamagic or item creation feat? Also great.
Arcane Preparation: Eh, you get no-increase metamagic anyway.
Metamagic School Focus: Now we're cooking with optimizer gas.
Verdict: Amazing picks, all of which are useful for the class (except Arcane Preparation). Suggest maybe dropping either item creation or metamagic options for reserve feats, which are fun but less overpowering.


Celestial Bloodline:

Spells:
0: Light. Sure, makes sense. Disrupt Undead might also work.
1: Detect Evil: A niche but useful spell- good to have when you need to check someone quickly and the cleric can't prepare spells right now.
2: Glorious Raiment: Great buff spell for 2nd level. Really great, especially if you have a good aligned frontliner. At low levels, the DR pulls its weight well due to the lack of DR-bypass available at that level, at high levels, the AC bonus is great because there are few sacred bonuses out there. Note that it's usually only available for a prestige class or a specific domain- on a sorcerer, the player can keep casting it for each fight. Might switch it over to Bless Weapon...?
3: Magic Circle Against Evil: Good spell to have available. Usually takes second string to Haste or Fly, but it's a good buff with niche usage against summons or mind control. Fits well into this level as a forced pick- it's a spell which you'll be glad to have when it comes up, but doesn't outpower the other things to get.
4: Celestial Brilliance. It's a really bright light. Deals damage over time, but not much at this level... Not a great spell to have.
5: Call Faithful Servants: The sorcerer will almost always end up with 2 HD per level of servants floating around. It's useful generally, but not well for any given purpose, which is nice, I guess- fills out space in the party. I'm not a huge fan of the Abstinence component or the "holy purpose"- it seems to punish nongood people with the Celestial bloodline.
6: Greater Heroism. A great buff. No problems here.
7: Righteous Smite. It's like a better Holy Smite, I guess? It's decent if you regularly fight Evil creatures due to selectiveness, but sorcerers often have better offensive options. Blindness is a good debuff, though, and it synergizes with Spell Focus/G.spell focus/Celestial Power, which is great.
8: Sunburst: Bam! Good anti-undead weapon, massive area, but the big thing here is the blindness. However, it fills pretty much the same niche as Righteous Smite- I'd say drop one or the other.
9:Gate: No problems here- reminiscent of half-celestials.
Verdict: A strong start, containing a mix of spells which come up only sometimes (which is good- the sorcerer needs a little forced breadth, IMHO), and powerful buffs. It falls off a bit in the 4-7 range, I think. Consider grabbing some spells from the Good domain, maybe? Dispel Evil would fit the 5th level slot pretty well.

Feats:
Celestial Heritage: Saving throw bonus is very nice. Disease bonus is less great, but disease can wreck you until clerics get Cure Disease.

Celestial Diplomat: Amazing on a Charisma class. Party diplomat forever.
Celestial Envoy: Decent feat? Might grab if I had lots of language-dependent spells, or if I were the party face. Not great with 3.5's limited feat rate.
Celestial Familiar: It's an exalted feat, which always has its problems. On the other hand, better familiars are great. On the other, other hand, the best familiars you get from this can be grabbed by Call Faithful Servants... not great.
Celestial Healing Thaumaturgy: Ooh. All three of those spells are useful sometimes. Sometimes you need to rez the cleric, and it's a new set of spells the cleric doesn't need to have ready.
Celestial Legacy: Spell-like abilities are nice. Fun on a martial chassis, since they give more options.
Celestial Power: See Spell Focus(good). It's surprisingly easy to load on Consecrate/Purify Spell, I suspect.
Celestial Purifier: Holy wow this feat is good. Holy Smite is eh, but you can stack a whole lot of caster level onto Holy Word (well, some), and Hallow is super fun.
Celestial Resistance: It scales, which is very nice. Electricity can come up a bunch. Petrification won't come up much, but you'll want the save when it does. Would take it for electricity resist.
Celestial Sense: Well... that sort of negates the whole Detect Evil as spell known. Switch the 1st level spell known for Protection from Evil?
Celestial Spell Knowledge: Oh geez oh geez ohhh geez. I might take Celestial sorcerer just for this. Heal spell on a moment's notice? Amazing. Stack cleric buffs (two in particular...) onto sorcerer buffs? Even more so. Divine Insight: Amazing.
Consecrate Spell: A very important thing for blaster sorcerers against immunities. Pretty good.
Heritage Darkvision: Good to have? You have Light as a automatically known spell, so you always have a torch. See Air.
Heritage Scholar: Class skills are OK. Not great for the Sorcerer since he's not an Int class, but OK.
Improved Outer Plane Heritage: It's not great since you have few natural weapons, but it can't be left out of the list.
Purify Spell: It's Righteous Smite in a metamagic feat. Purified Fireball~= Holy Smite.
Spell Focus(good): Good combination with Consecrate Spell/Purify Spell, since they add the good tag.
Words of Creation: Exalted feat. Pretty decent, I think? I actually don't remember how good they are outside Bard optimization.

Verdict: Feats go from okay (Celestial Envoy) to amazing(Celestial Spell Knowledge aaaah), with about half the feats falling on the amazing side. Very good options here, easily enough to make up for slightly weaker mid-level spells. At minimum, I'd increase the level of the spell learned through Celestial Spell Knowledge by 1(so you learn Cure Light Wounds as a 2nd level spell), because it's just that great. (Significant effects: it means that Divine Insight is fighting with Haste for spell slots, and Heal jumps to level 7, which delays acquisition via feat to level 15, at which point clerics have more spell options for healing and aren't overshadowed as healers by 4+ spell slots per day of that level)

It's not that hard to stack on +3 DC, +1 caster level using a +1 metamagic feat and Spell Focus/G.spell focus/Celestial power stacking, which is pretty good! I might trade out the fourth level spell for a blast of some kind to capitalize on that (holy smite?), the fifth one for utility with Dispel Evil, and swap out either the 7th or 8th level spells due to how similar they are.


That's two done- it's more exhausting than I expected. I'll try and hit up both Draconic ones tonight.
Arcane has amazing spells and strong feats, but Celestial has decent spells and incredible feats. It's a toss up which is better. Included notes on swapping out some spells- feel free to ignore if you like.

Here goes on the first Draconic option.

Spells:
0: Know Weight- Nice unique spell. No problems here.
1: Charm Person- Strong staple enchantment spell. I'm actually not quite sure of the inspiration for this one. If you change it out, I'd recommend jump, a fear spell, or maybe sensory spells? Scent or Low-Light vision? Magic Fang?
2: Resist Energy: Makes a whole lot of sense for a dragon, but this is a very useful buff- energy resistance helps out against a great deal of enemies. If you change it out, I'd grab a stat increasing or fear-related spell. Swift Fly is an option if you drop Fly from 3rd level.
3: Fly: Staple spell. Sorcerer would take it anyway. Change it out. Blindsight is a somewhat more situational spell which is just as good to get. Sense of the Dragon is a more thematic version which grants Blindsense. Dragonskin is a combo energy resistance + natural armor spell which is personal only.
4: Dragon Breath: No problems here- highly appropriate spell.
5: Draconic Might: A strong offensive and defensive buff for martial classes- teamwork is nice. Looks fine. (The fact that it adds an odd number to stats does confuse me, but that's a quirk of the spell)
6: Lesser Dragonshape: Looks good.
7: Arcane Spellsurge: This is an incredibly good spell to get automatically due to abuse potential. Energy Immunity fits dragon resistances, Dragon Ally is planar ally but dragons, and if you're OK with going outside Sorcerer, Mass Spell Resistance is a very nice spell which buffs your whole team. Alternatively, playing off frightful presence, you could pick Death Dragon, which is vaguely evil-aligned and can repeatedly use Inflict something Wounds.
8: Mind Blank is partly draconic, I guess? I don't see the connection with this as much as I did most of the others. I'm going to plug Protection from Spells as pseudo-spell resistance as an alternate defensive buff, or possibly Greater Spell Immunity.
9: Looks good.

Verdict: Spells are good options, possibly too good staple options at the top and bottom ends. Could pick spells out from the Dragon domain, maybe.

Feats:
Draconic Heritage: Dragonblood subtype can be handy, depending. Saving throw bonus is handy.

Any Draconic feat: Not evaluating this, but it's probably good.
Dragon Familiar: I don't use familiars much. No comment.
Energy Focus: Nice on a blaster sorcerer, I suppose, once you grab Spell Focus(Evocation).
G. energy focus- same.
Practical Metamagic: Niice. Metamagic sorcerer is a go.

Verdict: Okay, if somewhat focused on draconic feats for good options (maybe. not reading them.)

Draconic bloodline feels somewhere in between Air and Arcane- the generally relevant and useful spells of Arcane, mixed with the focus on a specific playstyle (self-buff) of Air.

Question: What role do the bloodline spells play? Do you want them to be semi-specialized options which expand the sorcerer's versatility within a particular sphere, or powerful/staple options which leave him free to pick from whatever he likes? This will help me offer advice and criticism; I realize that I've been assuming the first one.
I've been suggesting a couple alternate spells- is this helpful, or should I stop?

[Hashmalum]

Alright, moving on!

Alternate 4th level spell option for Air: Cyclonic Blast, dropped from a 5th level to a 4th level spell. It's basically an untyped Lightning Bolt which bull rushes. It's good for blaster mages due to untyped-ness, but not overpowering, I don't think.
Hmm. I didn't want players to have to wait until 6th level for wind walk to take to the air... but I suppose if they really want to take to the air they'd have picked up fly earlier anyway. Plus there is the Airy Flight feat. Also, it would make the list better for air creature sorcerers, who need no magic to fly. So I guess I'll change it.



Arcane Bloodline:

Most of these spells are very handy to have, to a significant degree. I will note alternatives which could be in-theme, if somewhat less powerful, if you're interested in tweaking the list for less general power. (note: I found a version of dndtools which has working filters, and am using it to pick spells-most of my picks will be from early in the alphabet as a result)
Spells:
0: Read Magic is a decent spell to have available, if somewhat of an odd one- the spell's function is essentially least comprehend languages for magical inscriptions only. Detect Magic might be more appropriate.
The idea is basically that the arcane bloodline represents Lamarckian evolution operating on a family line where the members tend to become wizards; eventually, the magic works its way into their blood. Since all wizards can prepare read magic from memory, there really wasn't any other spell that this could be.


Verdict: All good spells. Maybe too good. Included possible alternatives to pull it back a bit- all pulled from the Sorcerer/Wizard list.

Feat options:
Spell Focus/Greater spell focus- just great.
Any metamagic or item creation feat? Also great.
Arcane Preparation: Eh, you get no-increase metamagic anyway.
Metamagic School Focus: Now we're cooking with optimizer gas.
Verdict: Amazing picks, all of which are useful for the class (except Arcane Preparation). Suggest maybe dropping either item creation or metamagic options for reserve feats, which are fun but less overpowering.

Arcane Preparation was added because it resembles the style of magic that the character's wizard ancestors had (prepared magic). Besides being in theme, I had the thought that it would allow the character to use sanctified and corrupt spells (which can only be used by prepared spell casters). About reserve feats, I actually don't like or allow those; my feeling is that being able to run out of spells is the trade-off you make for the burst power of a spellcaster, and that it shouldn't be so easy to just evade that limitation. But the feat list is quite strong, so I'd better drop the desirability of the spell list to compensate.



Celestial Bloodline:

Spells:
0: Light. Sure, makes sense. Disrupt Undead might also work.
1: Detect Evil: A niche but useful spell- good to have when you need to check someone quickly and the cleric can't prepare spells right now.
2: Glorious Raiment: Great buff spell for 2nd level. Really great, especially if you have a good aligned frontliner. At low levels, the DR pulls its weight well due to the lack of DR-bypass available at that level, at high levels, the AC bonus is great because there are few sacred bonuses out there. Note that it's usually only available for a prestige class or a specific domain- on a sorcerer, the player can keep casting it for each fight. Might switch it over to Bless Weapon...?
3: Magic Circle Against Evil: Good spell to have available. Usually takes second string to Haste or Fly, but it's a good buff with niche usage against summons or mind control. Fits well into this level as a forced pick- it's a spell which you'll be glad to have when it comes up, but doesn't outpower the other things to get.
4: Celestial Brilliance. It's a really bright light. Deals damage over time, but not much at this level... Not a great spell to have.

I chose it as a source of holy damage that wasn't holy smite, which you'd already get from Celestial Purifier or as a spell-like ability from Celestial Legacy or even your half-celestial template (remember, if you're a half-celestial you're forced into taking this bloodline). Also, for symmetry with the fiendish bloodline's damning darkness.



5: Call Faithful Servants: The sorcerer will almost always end up with 2 HD per level of servants floating around. It's useful generally, but not well for any given purpose, which is nice, I guess- fills out space in the party. I'm not a huge fan of the Abstinence component or the "holy purpose"- it seems to punish nongood people with the Celestial bloodline.

Point taken. Also I failed to notice that it has a celestial component meaning most players won't even be able to cast it! So this one is definitely being replaced.



6: Greater Heroism. A great buff. No problems here.
7: Righteous Smite. It's like a better Holy Smite, I guess? It's decent if you regularly fight Evil creatures due to selectiveness, but sorcerers often have better offensive options. Blindness is a good debuff, though, and it synergizes with Spell Focus/G.spell focus/Celestial Power, which is great.
8: Sunburst: Bam! Good anti-undead weapon, massive area, but the big thing here is the blindness. However, it fills pretty much the same niche as Righteous Smite- I'd say drop one or the other.

Righteous smite is another source of damage that isn't holy smite (for the reasons listed above) and also is symmetrical with fiendish bloodline's wretched blight. So sunburst will probably end up being dropped then.


9:Gate: No problems here- reminiscent of half-celestials.
Verdict: A strong start, containing a mix of spells which come up only sometimes (which is good- the sorcerer needs a little forced breadth, IMHO), and powerful buffs. It falls off a bit in the 4-7 range, I think. Consider grabbing some spells from the Good domain, maybe? Dispel Evil would fit the 5th level slot pretty well. Yeah, I'll definitely swap call faithful servants for dispel evil, which will also add symmetry with the fiendish bloodline's dispel good.



Feats:
Celestial Heritage: Saving throw bonus is very nice. Disease bonus is less great, but disease can wreck you until clerics get Cure Disease.

Celestial Diplomat: Amazing on a Charisma class. Party diplomat forever.
Celestial Envoy: Decent feat? Might grab if I had lots of language-dependent spells, or if I were the party face. Not great with 3.5's limited feat rate.
Celestial Familiar: It's an exalted feat, which always has its problems. On the other hand, better familiars are great. On the other, other hand, the best familiars you get from this can be grabbed by Call Faithful Servants... not great.
Celestial Healing Thaumaturgy: Ooh. All three of those spells are useful sometimes. Sometimes you need to rez the cleric, and it's a new set of spells the cleric doesn't need to have ready.
Celestial Legacy: Spell-like abilities are nice. Fun on a martial chassis, since they give more options.
Celestial Power: See Spell Focus(good). It's surprisingly easy to load on Consecrate/Purify Spell, I suspect.
Celestial Purifier: Holy wow this feat is good. Holy Smite is eh, but you can stack a whole lot of caster level onto Holy Word (well, some), and Hallow is super fun.
Celestial Resistance: It scales, which is very nice. Electricity can come up a bunch. Petrification won't come up much, but you'll want the save when it does. Would take it for electricity resist.
Celestial Sense: Well... that sort of negates the whole Detect Evil as spell known. Switch the 1st level spell known for Protection from Evil?
Celestial Sense is better for non-sorcerers; as you mentioned, celestial sorcerers already get it as a spell. Still it's a celestial heritage feat so if a celestial sorcerer really really wants to take it anyway they can use one of their bonus feat slots on it.



Celestial Spell Knowledge: Oh geez oh geez ohhh geez. I might take Celestial sorcerer just for this. Heal spell on a moment's notice? Amazing. Stack cleric buffs (two in particular...) onto sorcerer buffs? Even more so. Divine Insight: Amazing.
Consecrate Spell: A very important thing for blaster sorcerers against immunities. Pretty good.
Heritage Darkvision: Good to have? You have Light as a automatically known spell, so you always have a torch. See Air.
Heritage Scholar: Class skills are OK. Not great for the Sorcerer since he's not an Int class, but OK.
Improved Outer Plane Heritage: It's not great since you have few natural weapons, but it can't be left out of the list.
Purify Spell: It's Righteous Smite in a metamagic feat. Purified Fireball~= Holy Smite.
Spell Focus(good): Good combination with Consecrate Spell/Purify Spell, since they add the good tag.
Words of Creation: Exalted feat. Pretty decent, I think? I actually don't remember how good they are outside Bard optimization.

Verdict: Feats go from okay (Celestial Envoy) to amazing(Celestial Spell Knowledge aaaah), with about half the feats falling on the amazing side. Very good options here, easily enough to make up for slightly weaker mid-level spells. At minimum, I'd increase the level of the spell learned through Celestial Spell Knowledge by 1(so you learn Cure Light Wounds as a 2nd level spell), because it's just that great. (Significant effects: it means that Divine Insight is fighting with Haste for spell slots, and Heal jumps to level 7, which delays acquisition via feat to level 15, at which point clerics have more spell options for healing and aren't overshadowed as healers by 4+ spell slots per day of that level)Ok, I'll probably implement the Celestial Spell Knowledge change. By the way, fey bloodline gets a parallel feat that does the same thing for druid spells; should that have the same chanage made as well?



It's not that hard to stack on +3 DC, +1 caster level using a +1 metamagic feat and Spell Focus/G.spell focus/Celestial power stacking, which is pretty good! I might trade out the fourth level spell for a blast of some kind to capitalize on that (holy smite?), the fifth one for utility with Dispel Evil, and swap out either the 7th or 8th level spells due to how similar they are.

That's two done- it's more exhausting than I expected. I'll try and hit up both Draconic ones tonight.
Arcane has amazing spells and strong feats, but Celestial has decent spells and incredible feats. It's a toss up which is better. Included notes on swapping out some spells- feel free to ignore if you like.

Again, I really appreciate all the effort you are putting into this. Thank you!



Here goes on the first Draconic option.

Spells:
0: Know Weight- Nice unique spell. No problems here.
1: Charm Person- Strong staple enchantment spell. I'm actually not quite sure of the inspiration for this one. If you change it out, I'd recommend jump, a fear spell, or maybe sensory spells? Scent or Low-Light vision? Magic Fang?My thinking was basically that dragons are charming (high Charisma) and often use humans as servants, thus charm person. You're right that fear would be more thematic though.



2: Resist Energy: Makes a whole lot of sense for a dragon, but this is a very useful buff- energy resistance helps out against a great deal of enemies. If you change it out, I'd grab a stat increasing or fear-related spell. Swift Fly is an option if you drop Fly from 3rd level.
3: Fly: Staple spell. Sorcerer would take it anyway. Change it out. Blindsight is a somewhat more situational spell which is just as good to get. Sense of the Dragon is a more thematic version which grants Blindsense. Dragonskin is a combo energy resistance + natural armor spell which is personal only.
Yeah, you're right, plus there are also two (!) draconic feats that allow you to fly. Now I need to decide between dragonskin and sense of the dragon.



4: Dragon Breath: No problems here- highly appropriate spell.
5: Draconic Might: A strong offensive and defensive buff for martial classes- teamwork is nice. Looks fine. (The fact that it adds an odd number to stats does confuse me, but that's a quirk of the spell)
6: Lesser Dragonshape: Looks good.
7: Arcane Spellsurge: This is an incredibly good spell to get automatically due to abuse potential. Energy Immunity fits dragon resistances, Dragon Ally is planar ally but dragons, and if you're OK with going outside Sorcerer, Mass Spell Resistance is a very nice spell which buffs your whole team. Alternatively, playing off frightful presence, you could pick Death Dragon, which is vaguely evil-aligned and can repeatedly use Inflict something Wounds.
I just thoughtlessly ported this one over from the true dragon bloodline spell list. I might swap it for dragon ally if this bloodline's spell list is too good.



8: Mind Blank is partly draconic, I guess? I don't see the connection with this as much as I did most of the others. I'm going to plug Protection from Spells as pseudo-spell resistance as an alternate defensive buff, or possibly Greater Spell Immunity.

Again, mind blank was thoughtlessly ported over from true dragon's list.



9: Looks good.

Verdict: Spells are good options, possibly too good staple options at the top and bottom ends. Could pick spells out from the Dragon domain, maybe.

Feats:
Draconic Heritage: Dragonblood subtype can be handy, depending. Saving throw bonus is handy.

Any Draconic feat: Not evaluating this, but it's probably good.
Dragon Familiar: I don't use familiars much. No comment.
Energy Focus: Nice on a blaster sorcerer, I suppose, once you grab Spell Focus(Evocation).
G. energy focus- same.
Practical Metamagic: Niice. Metamagic sorcerer is a go.

Verdict: Okay, if somewhat focused on draconic feats for good options (maybe. not reading them.)

Draconic bloodline feels somewhere in between Air and Arcane- the generally relevant and useful spells of Arcane, mixed with the focus on a specific playstyle (self-buff) of Air.

Question: What role do the bloodline spells play? Do you want them to be semi-specialized options which expand the sorcerer's versatility within a particular sphere, or powerful/staple options which leave him free to pick from whatever he likes? This will help me offer advice and criticism; I realize that I've been assuming the first one.
I've been suggesting a couple alternate spells- is this helpful, or should I stop?The first. And yes, the alternate spells are definitely helpful, please.

[aimlessPolymath]

Hmm. I didn't want players to have to wait until 6th level for wind walk to take to the air... but I suppose if they really want to take to the air they'd have picked up fly earlier anyway. Plus there is the Airy Flight feat. Also, it would make the list better for air creature sorcerers, who need no magic to fly. So I guess I'll change it.
Alright.


The idea is basically that the arcane bloodline represents Lamarckian evolution operating on a family line where the members tend to become wizards; eventually, the magic works its way into their blood. Since all wizards can prepare read magic from memory, there really wasn't any other spell that this could be.
Makes sense, although in my mind the Arcane bloodline is the one where the sorcerer can use magic "just because".


Arcane Preparation was added because it resembles the style of magic that the character's wizard ancestors had (prepared magic). Besides being in theme, I had the thought that it would allow the character to use sanctified and corrupt spells (which can only be used by prepared spell casters). About reserve feats, I actually don't like or allow those; my feeling is that being able to run out of spells is the trade-off you make for the burst power of a spellcaster, and that it shouldn't be so easy to just evade that limitation. But the feat list is quite strong, so I'd better drop the desirability of the spell list to compensate.
Leaving reserve feats alone is fine by me, although I've never really had many problems with it- the group often stops altogether if the caster is out of spells. Arcane Preparation is a super niche feat (maybe use it to qualify for some prestige class?) but it's fine to leave it in.


I chose it as a source of holy damage that wasn't holy smite, which you'd already get from Celestial Purifier or as a spell-like ability from Celestial Legacy or even your half-celestial template (remember, if you're a half-celestial you're forced into taking this bloodline). Also, for symmetry with the fiendish bloodline's damning darkness.
Okay, that makes sense. The problem really stems from the fact that darkness is more useful than daylight in most cases.


Point taken. Also I failed to notice that it has a celestial component meaning most players won't even be able to cast it! So this one is definitely being replaced.
K.


Celestial Sense is better for non-sorcerers; as you mentioned, celestial sorcerers already get it as a spell. Still it's a celestial heritage feat so if a celestial sorcerer really really wants to take it anyway they can use one of their bonus feat slots on it.
K.


Ok, I'll probably implement the Celestial Spell Knowledge change. By the way, fey bloodline gets a parallel feat that does the same thing for druid spells; should that have the same chanage made as well?
My instinctive response is YES, but a look over at the druid spell list doesn't really show as many incredible spells as Cleric. I'll shelve the issue for now.


Again, I really appreciate all the effort you are putting into this. Thank you!
Sure!



Yeah, you're right, plus there are also two (!) draconic feats that allow you to fly. Now I need to decide between dragonskin and sense of the dragon.
Neither of them will be overpowering, really.



I just thoughtlessly ported this one over from the true dragon bloodline spell list. I might swap it for dragon ally if this bloodline's spell list is too good.
Again, mind blank was thoughtlessly ported over from true dragon's list.
It's OK. Up next: True Dragon. Will evaluate the spells in the context of being a dragon.


The first. And yes, the alternate spells are definitely helpful, please.
Alright!

True Dragon:
[SPOILER]
Looking at this from the perspective of dragons as boss fights, including covering weaknesses, and influence on approaches to fighting the dragon.
Spells:
0: Mage Hand. Once I saw that you picked this, I couldn't imagine a True Dragon taking another spell for level 0. Manual dexterity is important.
1: Hoard Gullet: Sure? It's an odd spell, but that's OK? There's a bit of a funny bit at the end of the spell where you vomit up your entire inventory. I might switch it out, but probably not. Would be a lot more useful of a spell if the duration were 2 hours/level, but as-is, it can be used to keep adventurers from grabbing crap from your treasure hoard.
2: Ohhh boy is this an important spell for a dragon. Touch spell vulnerability, away! A good pick. I would say the most important thing about it is that every dragon gets it, which affects how people approach battles with dragons.
3:Mesmerizing Glare. A decent spell to pause the battle while you monologue, I guess. Makes some sense on a dragon. Possible alternate: Greater Magic Fang.
4: Dispelling Breath: Oh ho ho! Of all the metabreath spells, this one feels the most boss-fight appropriate, because it means that the standard tactics of buffing defenses to incredible heights are much reduced. Another spell which affects how dragons are approached. However- the spell is level 5 in the Spell Compendium, and should maybe be adjusted as such, maybe(?). Alternates for this level: Treasure Scent (smell gold), Ruin Delver's Fortune(Despite the name, it's the swiss army knife of defensive spells), Voice of the Dragon, Greater Wings of Air.
5: Draconic Polymorph: Ehhhh... While it's a good spell, it's not something I would see on each and every dragon. For social purposes, many already have their own shapeshifting, and the idea of a dragon who's typically fought in a different form doesn't sit well with me. Combined with notes on Dispelling Breath, move that one up a level, and add a different spell to 4. Alternates include Draconic Might, Superior Magic Fang, Undying Vigor of the Dragonlords for healing.
6: Aura of Terror: No problems here- fear is classic.
7: Arcane Spellsurge: See previous issues. It's such a good spell! On the flip side, dragons need help with their action economy. I'd keep it because bosses are at a natural action disadvantage, but it probably shouldn't be an auto-in for normal sorcerers. Alternates: Animate Breath, Dragon Ally (all dragons know of each other, right?), Energy Immunity, Evil Glare(paralysis gaze), Justice of the Wyrm King (retribution damage)..
8: Mind Blank: Well, they need it, that's for sure. It doesn't make much sense in-theme, but if it will keep adventuring parties from disabling the dragon with mind-affecting effects at the beginning of the fight, I'm all for it.
9: Breath Weapon Admixture: Powerful damage and avoiding the ability of most to prepare energy resistances. Was an 8th level spell in Draconomicon, but it belongs at 9. Looks good.

Verdict: A little funny around levels 3-5, but a very strong set of spell options to choose from. Gets a little funny when different books have the same spell at different levels- I'd pick one to stick to. Could see some fun stuff happening if you use Delay Spell to stack on two metabreath spells onto the same spell.

Feats:
Eschew Materials: Like Mage hand, makes sense that dragons need it.

Breath and Metabreath feats: Not reviewing, assuming that they're decent.
Awaken Spell Resistance: Stacking +SR can be pretty good. Not great if you don't have it, but yay dragons!
Draconic Knowledge: Class skills are nice? Skill bonus can get medium big.
Embed Spell Focus: Need it if you're big.
Practical Metamagic: It was good earlier, it's good now.

Verdict: Decent feats. Not much in the way of awful ones considering that you're a dragon and have trouble with not having hands. Could see breath weapons getting out of hand?
/SPOILER]

Looks very nice as a boss fight! Includes much-needed buffs, a couple of big splashy attacks, and a bit of things they need to function as players.

[Hashmalum]

Makes sense, although in my mind the Arcane bloodline is the one where the sorcerer can use magic "just because".
I should probably include a blurb for each bloodline in the description, explaining where it comes from, and giving a list of eligible ancestor creatures for RP purposes. I should also include alignment restrictions, since many of the heritage feats have them.



4: Dispelling Breath: Oh ho ho! Of all the metabreath spells, this one feels the most boss-fight appropriate, because it means that the standard tactics of buffing defenses to incredible heights are much reduced. Another spell which affects how dragons are approached. However- the spell is level 5 in the Spell Compendium, and should maybe be adjusted as such, maybe(?). Alternates for this level: Treasure Scent (smell gold), Ruin Delver's Fortune(Despite the name, it's the swiss army knife of defensive spells), Voice of the Dragon, Greater Wings of Air.
5: Draconic Polymorph: Ehhhh... While it's a good spell, it's not something I would see on each and every dragon. For social purposes, many already have their own shapeshifting, and the idea of a dragon who's typically fought in a different form doesn't sit well with me. Combined with notes on Dispelling Breath, move that one up a level, and add a different spell to 4. Alternates include Draconic Might, Superior Magic Fang, Undying Vigor of the Dragonlords for healing.Oops, I did not notice that Spell Compendium bumped up the level on dispelling breath. You're right about consistency, since I've been using Spell Compendium versions of all the other spells I should with this one too. And point taken about dragons with independent shapechanging. Hmm... Treasure scent is redundant for gold dragons who already have their detect gems spell-like, otherwise it would be a shoo-in. Voice of the dragon seems to me more like the "imitate a dragon" rather than "be a dragon" spells. Ruin delver's fortune would be fun with dragon charisma, but it doesn't scream "dragon" to me. Greater wings of air seems best to me; dragons generally have lousy maneuverability and would really benefit from it. It also allows some more interesting fights.



8: Mind Blank: Well, they need it, that's for sure. It doesn't make much sense in-theme, but if it will keep adventuring parties from disabling the dragon with mind-affecting effects at the beginning of the fight, I'm all for it.
It also explains why the major dragons are still around and not scry-buff-teleport killed already. It's absolutely vital really, thematic or not.



Verdict: Decent feats. Not much in the way of awful ones considering that you're a dragon and have trouble with not having hands. Could see breath weapons getting out of hand?I had a couple of other monstrous feats that specifically increased dragon sorcerer abilities, but I forgot to post them. I'll edit them into my feats post.

By the way, I've been wanting to include some dual-bloodline options like night hag (fiendish and hag) and couatl (celestial and snake), but I'm not sure how to balance them. Any thoughts?

[aimlessPolymath]

No idea on how to construct hybrid bloodlines right now. I suspect the best way is to in some fashion force the player to take options from both sides, keeping them from picking and choosing the best ones.

Earth:

0: Discern Depth: Feels like being a dwarf, which is good.
1: uugh I hate having this spell here but there are so few 1st level earth spells. When you get it, it's about to instantly hit its damage cap, and you won't be happy about having it later... Swap for Magic Stone, a spell which inexplicably is missing the Earth descriptor, or Foundation of Stone, a very nice 1st level group buff which gives an untyped bonus to AC... but might be too good.
2: Sweet. No problems.
3: Yes! The prototypical Earth spell.
4: A very good buff to have, which is nice, since it's the first combat spell for a while.
5: It's another good spell with utility and combat uses.
6: This is possibly too good? Petrification is very useful against a variety of foes, including those immune to death effects. Possible swap with Stone Tell, the druid spell.
7: Nice, splashy bomb which feels good. Alternative to consider here might be Statue, but that's a very odd buff spell, and I wouldn't feel comfortable not giving them access to Earthquake sometime. Other alternative is Master Earth, which is greater teleport by ultra-burrow speed.
8: I had to look this one up. Good spell. It's a lot like earthquake, though? Possibly move Earthquake here (mimicking the cleric/druid/Destruction level instead of Earth domain, and add a different spell at 7, or something else here?
9: Eh. Powerful single-target elimination which works on almost everyone, but... Undermaster is a 9th level spell which, for 5 rounds, gives you like a dozen earth-related spell-like abilities.

Verdict: A nice mix of combat-related and utility magic. Gets a bit attack-focused near the top end, but that's OK.

Feats:
Earthen Heritage: A good feat for fighters, less so for sorcerers (other than self-buffs).

Earthen Bite:Rarely relevant. Ever, even to people with natural attacks. Am not clear on connection with Earth.
Earthen Digestion: Okay, maybe it might be relevant. Metal-eating is a very neat ability, if incredibly inefficient money-wise, but you can double your health like that? Might cap it to Con score/mod in bonus hit points and combine it with Earthen Bite, because otherwise I have no idea how to balance this.
Earthen Hide: oooooh boy. Keep in mind that 1 feat = +1 AC normally (Dodge, Shield Focus, that one epic feat, etc.) so this is INCREDIBLE, making each of your heritage feats worth an extra feat.
Earthen Scent: Hah! I like it. Would be a fun pick on a rogue or appraiser- they can literally smell counterfeit coins.
Earthen Slam: Eh. Not a fan. Bump damage die one size, I think. Damage is less than you could get out of Weapon Proficiency(longsword), but takes one of your hands, unlike Earthen Bite.
Earthen Toughness: Prerequisites:Original is odd. It's like many multiple copies of Improved Toughness. Combined with Earthen Hide, this makes heritage feats far overvalued- to the degree where I would take Earthen Bite or Earthen Slam as a sorcerer.
Element Focus: See notes for Air.
Elemental Caller: See notes for Air.
Elemental Fortitude: Good for making Fortitude saves- somewhat more valuable than the reflexes version due to the importance of the saves. Good!
Elemental Protection: See notes for Air.
Elemental Spellcasting: Could be very handy.
G. Element Focus: See Element Focus.
Heritage Darkvision: You know the drill.
Heritage Scholar: Class skills are nice but less so on a low-skills class, earth creatures are rarish.

Verdict: Love the spell picks (except for Imprisonment), feats are generally below par except for Earthen Toughness/Hide, which scale so well that they overpower all the other feats. Add Earth Sense from Races of Stone and some of its feat chains.

[Hashmalum]

No idea on how to construct hybrid bloodlines right now. I suspect the best way is to in some fashion force the player to take options from both sides, keeping them from picking and choosing the best ones.

That might work. And of course the base heritage feat won't have any benefit besides functioning as a prerequisite for two different heritage groups. I'll have to try that once I am done with this technical report project for school.



Earth:

0: Discern Depth: Feels like being a dwarf, which is good.
1: uugh I hate having this spell here but there are so few 1st level earth spells. When you get it, it's about to instantly hit its damage cap, and you won't be happy about having it later... Swap for Magic Stone, a spell which inexplicably is missing the Earth descriptor, or Foundation of Stone, a very nice 1st level group buff which gives an untyped bonus to AC... but might be too good.
Thinking about it, you're right about this spell being bad due to having such a low cap. There's no retraining for bloodline spells after all, so it can't be swapped out for something better later. I think I'll go with foundation of stone instead.


2: Sweet. No problems.
3: Yes! The prototypical Earth spell.
4: A very good buff to have, which is nice, since it's the first combat spell for a while.
5: It's another good spell with utility and combat uses.
6: This is possibly too good? Petrification is very useful against a variety of foes, including those immune to death effects. Possible swap with Stone Tell, the druid spell.

Yes, but as you noted, most of the feats are subpar, so the spells need to be good to make up for it. On the other hand, the bloodline doesn't have any other way to grab stone tell, which it should have. I think I need to do an Elemental Spell Knowledge feat allowing the elemental bloodlines to grab spells with their element descriptor from other class lists. Also, having some divination would add variety. And we can always fix the feats. Yeah, I think I'll go with stone tell after all.


7: Nice, splashy bomb which feels good. Alternative to consider here might be Statue, but that's a very odd buff spell, and I wouldn't feel comfortable not giving them access to Earthquake sometime. Other alternative is Master Earth, which is greater teleport by ultra-burrow speed.
8: I had to look this one up. Good spell. It's a lot like earthquake, though? Possibly move Earthquake here (mimicking the cleric/druid/Destruction level instead of Earth domain, and add a different spell at 7, or something else here?
Yeah, I think I'll move earthquake to 8th and put in master earth for 7th. Gives them some good variety in capabilities, and they need something good for moving through earth.


9: Eh. Powerful single-target elimination which works on almost everyone, but... Undermaster is a 9th level spell which, for 5 rounds, gives you like a dozen earth-related spell-like abilities.I considered undermaster, but rejected it due to overlapping too much with the spells that we already have. Also consider what happens if a player invests in things like Element Focus (earth) and so on and grabs a bunch of earth spells (which is the kind of thematics we wish to enable); undermaster might end up completely useless to them.



Verdict: A nice mix of combat-related and utility magic. Gets a bit attack-focused near the top end, but that's OK.

Feats:
Earthen Heritage: A good feat for fighters, less so for sorcerers (other than self-buffs).

Earthen Bite:Rarely relevant. Ever, even to people with natural attacks. Am not clear on connection with Earth.
Earthen Digestion: Okay, maybe it might be relevant. Metal-eating is a very neat ability, if incredibly inefficient money-wise, but you can double your health like that? Might cap it to Con score/mod in bonus hit points and combine it with Earthen Bite, because otherwise I have no idea how to balance this.
The bite was inspired by the xorn (and its cousin from earlier editions the xaren). The metal eating was also inspired by the fact that in earlier editions, the xorns actually permanently gained hit points by eating magic metal. Considering that you can literally eat your expected wealth by level, I wonder if some form of permanent gain (up to your normal max hit points per die) might work, sort of like a lesser form of Vow of Poverty? Anyway, temporarily doubling your hit points sounds great but it's so incredibly expensive so I'm not worried about it. Maybe I should move the temp hit point gain to the base bite so that it's good for something, and have the digestion feat give permanent hit point gain?


Earthen Hide: oooooh boy. Keep in mind that 1 feat = +1 AC normally (Dodge, Shield Focus, that one epic feat, etc.) so this is INCREDIBLE, making each of your heritage feats worth an extra feat.

I know about the expected feat->AC rate, but the problem is that that rate is terrible! Dodge is a notorious feat tax that even people who have forget to use, Draconic Skin is considered not worth taking, nobody would take that epic feat with so many other more interesting things to take, etc. I want AC-boosting feats to be worth taking, but not so good that everybody takes them. But I am unsure how to do that.


Earthen Scent: Hah! I like it. Would be a fun pick on a rogue or appraiser- they can literally smell counterfeit coins.
Earthen Slam: Eh. Not a fan. Bump damage die one size, I think. Damage is less than you could get out of Weapon Proficiency(longsword), but takes one of your hands, unlike Earthen Bite.
Ok, I'll bump it up.


Earthen Toughness: Prerequisites:Original is odd. It's like many multiple copies of Improved Toughness. Combined with Earthen Hide, this makes heritage feats far overvalued- to the degree where I would take Earthen Bite or Earthen Slam as a sorcerer.

Oops, the prerequisites line somehow got screwed up! It should say "Prerequisites: Earth Heritage." Thank you for catching that.

So anyway, do you think that should Earthen Toughness scale multiplicatively, like it does now, but at a slower rate (say, one hit point per die per two heritage feats, for example), or additively (say, improved toughness, plus an extra 3 hit points per heritage feat)?


Element Focus: See notes for Air.
Elemental Caller: See notes for Air.
Elemental Fortitude: Good for making Fortitude saves- somewhat more valuable than the reflexes version due to the importance of the saves. Good!
Elemental Protection: See notes for Air.
Elemental Spellcasting: Could be very handy.
G. Element Focus: See Element Focus.
Heritage Darkvision: You know the drill.
Heritage Scholar: Class skills are nice but less so on a low-skills class, earth creatures are rarish.

Verdict: Love the spell picks (except for Imprisonment), feats are generally below par except for Earthen Toughness/Hide, which scale so well that they overpower all the other feats. Add Earth Sense from Races of Stone and some of its feat chains.Ok, I'll add Earth Sense, Earth Adept, Earth Master, and of course Earth Spell. Thanks for pointing those feats out! Again, thank you for all your work and valuable feedback!

[aimlessPolymath]

On undermaster: There is some overlap, yes, but I think it's mostly outweighed by Undermaster taking both a costly material component (if an inexpensive one) and it taking a standard action to use. That might just be me, though.

On the bite:
You have a point about eating your wealth-per-level. On the balance, I think it would be fine to give temp hit point gain to the base feat. Worst-case scenario is that it makes it much harder to estimate appropriate treasure for villains (who might have eaten some of their loot).

On Earthen Hide:
Why not just give a static +2 AC bonus? It's a decent bonus above the norm, but it's somewhat made up for by the 1-feat prerequisite. I don't know enough about AC balance to offer more than that, sorry.

Earthen Toughness probably shouldn't be multiplicative.
Incarnum-Fortified Body and Psionic Body gave a static 2 hp per feat, and is comparable, but is admittedly pretty awful feats. I'd like to avoid stepping too hard on Toughness/Imp. Toughness's toes, even if they aren't particularly good feats. I'd go for additive increases- say, 2-3 hit points per heritage feat plus a minor static bonus (saves against massive damage?), but make a note that sorcerers gain it per feat they have which they could take as a bonus feat. This doesn't need to be a great feat- there are some other decent picks around. I'd have liked to see more options in the vein of Airy Flight/Transparency, but I think that Earth Sense and Treasure Scent cover those areas pretty well, making Earth surprisingly useful defensively!
Personally, given that Earthen Hide occupies most of the same conceptual space, I'd actually scrap it, or turn it into some kind of Heritage Body general feat- I don't feel it adds much to the bloodline.

Fey Bloodline:

Spells:
0: Faerie Food: Prank'd! Love it.
1: Faerie Fire: Good vs. invisibility, which is always very useful to have, and something which sorcerers often aren't ready for. Not very good until that comes up, though. I like it.
2: Invisibility: Very useful spell to have, matches Faeries pretty well. A bit too good maybe, but given how little Faerie Fire is useful often, probably needs it.
3: Deep Slumber... This is a good spell at the level you get it, but falls off quickly. Change it out. Alternates: Crown of Veils (a long-lasting buff which can be expended to be better at trickery), Suggestion, or Major Image (classic illusion spell). I stopped reading in the M's when I saw that one, but there could be others.
4: Huh. I feel like this is a very appropriate spell to put...somewhere. I'm not sure that it's here, and I'd like to hear your reasoning before I criticize it. Alternatives: Bestow Curse, which feels similar, Charm Monster, Hallucinatory Terrain, Nightmare Terrain, Unluck.
5: I'm happy with this spell.
6: See Lesser Geas. Alternatives:Dream Casting, False Sending, Opalescent Glare(arguably), Probe Thoughts, Programmed Image, and Veil.
7: I'm OK with this, for similar reasons to Invisibility. Also, the spell doesn't feel that good. Mass Bull's Strength is a level lower than this, but both Invisibility and Bull's Strength are the same level. What's up with that?
8: Wouldn't have a different spell here. Too classic.
9: Makes loads of sense for a trickster. Very happy.

I'd like to see one of the ____ Image spells in there. Not all, but at least one, so all fey sorcerers know how to do some level of illusion. If anywhere, it wold go at level 3.

Feats:
Fey Heritage: Will save bonus is nice, it's just that it's strictly worse than Iron Will.

Dazzling Illusion: Minor but fun effect.
Deceptive Spell: Eh. Useful in combination with Silent/Still, but metamagic isn't great at that point. Still, nice-ish to have.
Fey Legacy: Ohh yes. Love the SLAs. At least two out of three (summons, dim door) will still be very relevant later on.
Fey Performer: Eeeh.
Fey Power:Excellent, especially with Spell Focus- could get significant DC boosts.
Fey Presence: Decent SLAs. Deep Slumber drops off, but Charm stays relevant, and Disguise Self comes in handy once in a while. Could see it on a rogue.
Fey Reflexes: See notes on similar feats.
Fey Skin: It's OK on a sorcerer, but you don't want to be in a situation where it comes up. Powerlevel has come up a bit due to there being so many more heritage feats available. Rewrite helps this somewhat. Damage Reduction stacking is nice, but difficult to abuse due to not working with magic items.
Fey Spell Knowledge: I don't strongly feel that this breaks the Fey Bloodline. For consistency, it might make sense to make them level-shifted like the cleric set, but I don't see strong balance-affecting spells like I do for the cleric.
Fey Trickster: Much more generally useful than Fey Performer.
Greater Spell Focus: See Spell Focus.
Heritage Scholar: See notes on previous Heritage Scholar cases- while this is probably one of the better ones, it's still not a fantastic feat for a class with these skill points.
Metamagic School Focus: Very nice to have. Not sure how many Illusions benefit, but many Enchantments do.
Spell Focus: Like it- these are some of the most DC-heavy spells, so this is great.
Unsettling Enchantment: Good feat which makes sense. Turns even weak enchantments into a backup option.

Feat Verdict:
Very nice selection of feats, including a few defenses, some SLAs relevant for roguish types, and a powerful group of options to buff enchantments or illusions.

Spell rating: A nice curve mixing weaker and better spells at almost a rate of exactly every other level up to 8. Could use some explaining for Geas, which is a bit more specific. Only criticism is that Mass Invis and Geas are both better versions of earlier spells, resulting in redundancy.
Feat Rating: Closest equivalent is Celestial power-wise, both in that it can expand its spell list, and that it can get really high save DCs within its specialty. Fine magic-wise, but it also has some of the general utility I saw in the elemental options.

On Earthen Hide:
Why not just give a static +2 AC bonus? It's a decent bonus above the norm, but it's somewhat made up for by the 1-feat prerequisite. I don't know enough about AC balance to offer more than that, sorry.

Earthen Toughness probably shouldn't be multiplicative.
Incarnum-Fortified Body and Psionic Body gave a static 2 hp per feat, and is comparable, but is admittedly pretty awful feats. I'd like to avoid stepping too hard on Toughness/Imp. Toughness's toes, even if they aren't particularly good feats. I'd go for additive increases- say, 2-3 hit points per heritage feat plus a minor static bonus (saves against massive damage?), but make a note that sorcerers gain it per feat they have which they could take as a bonus feat. This doesn't need to be a great feat- there are some other decent picks around. I'd have liked to see more options in the vein of Airy Flight/Transparency, but I think that Earth Sense and Treasure Scent cover those areas pretty well, making Earth surprisingly useful defensively!
Personally, given that Earthen Hide occupies most of the same conceptual space, I'd actually scrap it, or turn it into some kind of Heritage Body general feat- I don't feel it adds much to the bloodline.

Earth (and hag) bloodlines are the ones that are intended for a sorcerer who will end up in melee for one reason or another, with earth being the more defensive of the two. Also, I'm not worried about stepping on Improved Toughness too much, given that the prerequisite feat you need for Earthen Toughness has a heavy opportunity cost in the form of locking you out of a lot of good options like Celestial Spell Knowledge, Airy Transparency, etc.

Yeah, in keeping with the reasoning that had me dropping hail of stone from the earth bloodline, I think I'll ditch this one too. Deceptive facade from Complete Mage looks like a good replacement to me, I think.


4: Huh. I feel like this is a very appropriate spell to put...somewhere. I'm not sure that it's here, and I'd like to hear your reasoning before I criticize it. Alternatives: Bestow Curse, which feels similar, Charm Monster, Hallucinatory Terrain, Nightmare Terrain, Unluck.
The modern concept of "fairy" actually derives from the same origin (Celtic lore) as the concept of a "geas", so I felt like geases should be in the fey list somewhere. Admittedly they don't need to be in it twice. Bestow curse would also be good, but I gave it to the hag bloodline, and I'm trying to avoid too much duplication between bloodline spells. If I swapped it for anything it would probably be charm monster.


5: I'm happy with this spell.
6: See Lesser Geas. Alternatives:Dream Casting, False Sending, Opalescent Glare(arguably), Probe Thoughts, Programmed Image, and Veil.
I think I'll swap this one for endless slumber from Complete Mage since I'm getting rid of deep slumber.


7: I'm OK with this, for similar reasons to Invisibility. Also, the spell doesn't feel that good. Mass Bull's Strength is a level lower than this, but both Invisibility and Bull's Strength are the same level. What's up with that?

Yeah, this one was always intended for theme value rather than having any great practical use.


Fey Power:Excellent, especially with Spell Focus- could get significant DC boosts.

Fey Spell Knowledge: I don't strongly feel that this breaks the Fey Bloodline. For consistency, it might make sense to make them level-shifted like the cleric set, but I don't see strong balance-affecting spells like I do for the cleric.
Making it consistent would also entail making it significantly worse, so I think I'll just let it be.

I still might swap lesser geas for charm monster. Other than that I think this bloodline is finished. Finally, thank you again for your contribution! I've edited the OP to credit you (better late than never).

Edit:

I went ahead and changed draconic 3rd to dragonskin.
I added the rapture spell under new spells, and changed celestial 8th to rapture.
I added Elemental Spell Knowledge under heritage feats, and added it to the bonus feat list for air, earth, fire, and water bloodlines.
I noticed that Master of Poisons was a stronger feat than my Poison Use feat, so I replaced Poison Use with Master of Poisons for the snake bloodline and deleted Poison Use.

[Hashmalum]

So I added a new bloodline. The bonus feat list is pretty short and I hope to add to it later.

Other changes: added alignment requirements and possible ancestors to other bloodlines, added Fiendish Spell Knowledge and Vampiric Spell feats.

Still to do: Nerf _____ Toughness feats to be less overwhelming, nerf arcane bloodline spell lists, make some changes to Earthen Bite/Earthen Digestion, probably a few other things. Axiomatic, Githyanki, and Githzerai bloodlines are planned at some point. The dual bloodline feats (Couatl Heritage, Faerie Dragon Heritage, Night Hag Heritage, and Yochlol Heritage ) and rules still need to be done.
