So the vestige bloodline gets this ability at third level:


At 3rd level, objects in your possession with the broken condition function as if they did not have the broken condition, though if they reach 0 hit points they are destroyed as normal. At 9th level, destroyed objects (objects with 0 hit points) in your possession function and appear as if they had only the broken condition, though if they reach a number of negative hit points equal to your level, they become fully destroyed and don’t function at all, even in your possession. At 15th level, destroyed objects in your possession function and appear as if fully repaired, though they can become fully destroyed as described above. Destroyed objects must have physical pieces left to be affected by this ability. Objects that leave your possession are affected normally by these conditions. This ability does not affect artifacts.


What is the best use ppl can think about for that ability? I recall there were "breakable scrolls" in 3.5, and I guess that if there is a pathfinder equivalent it would function very well in the hands of a sorcerer with that ability (since he could keep breaking them). But are there any other cool items that would work here? stuff that you break in order to activate?

There are a handful of "break to use" wondrous items like ampoules. But the wafer/tablet potions and skull talismans are definitely 3.5, though you might convince your GM to let you bring them over.

The things in PF that use the broken condition that come to mind are guns that misfire, though they aren't actually broken. But guns that misfire after already being misfired explode so maybe you get an infinitely exploding gun? Also there's the Fortified Armor Training feat, but breaking your armor or shield isn't that useful on a sorcerer.
