So. My DM is allowing just about any and all sources from 3.5 and Pathfinder. I want to play a PF sorcerer going straight into dragon disciple.
Those are the only 2 classes I want.
We have 20 pb.
I've thought of a few things 8 can do namely take the fiendish heritage feats from CM and have a really weird family tree.
We're level seven and I'm human, this means 5 feats not counting bloodline feats.

Any ideas other than the one I've already had?

With the hit from Dragon Disciple levels, you'll be a whole tier of spells behind any wizards/clerics/druids in your group; eventually that will increase to two behind. So the Magical Knack (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/magic-traits/magical-knack/) trait is worth it, to at least make up the caster level loss.

Your physical abilities aren't great either (your increased Strength gives you a +1 bonus on attack rolls... but your Base Attack Bonus is 4 points lower than a martial, and their class features grant attack bonuses too). The Arcane Strike feat (3.5, not the unrelated PF feat with the same name) can help out here - expend a spell slot to gain +X attack and +Xd4 damage for 1 round, where X is the spell level. In addition to your three natural attacks from dragon disciple you can get a (thematic) fourth one by taking Racial Heritage (kobold) (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/racial-feats/racial-heritage) and Tail Terror (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/racial-feats/tail-terror-combat-kobold/), though it's secondary rather than primary (meaning Multiattack).

Also look into the Draconic feats from Races of the Dragon and Dragon Magic, particularly if you can convince your DM to add them to the feat list for the Draconic bloodline. Just the basic Draconic Heritage feat will unlock the full effect of RotD's powerful wings of _____ spells (wings of cover lets you block attacks against yourself and your allies, and later you can pick up wings of flurry which is one of the more useful blasting spells); the other dragonblooded spells like dragoneye rune, ghostly tail and magic of the dragonheart are also fun.

There's also Dragon Magic's Silverbrow Human variant - lose the bonus skill points in exchange for the dragonblooded subtype (making Draconic Heritage unnecessary), feather fall 2/day, and a +2 bonus on Disguise checks (along with treating it as a class skill).
