Your ancestors were important in the Workings of Deities. They may have been mighty clerics, or infamous heretics, they may have simply stumbled into the Divine Flow of the Celestial Cascade by accident. But for whatever reason, they drew the attention of the Gods Themselves, and such interest carries weight. Your blood, your heritage, is seething with the Divine. Whether you are religious yourself, or not, makes no difference. The touch of Divinity is your birthright, like it or not.

Bloodline Skill

A sorcerer with this bloodline gains a bonus Natural Talent in the Knowledge (Religion) skill. Natural talent skills can have any ability modifier added to them, in place of the ability modifier they normally use. In addition, natural talent skills never suffer from an Armor Check Penalty, even if the assigned ability modifier is STR or DEX.

Bonus Spells

Upon gaining a 3rd level in the sorcerer class, and at every odd-numbered sorcerer class level thereafter, the sorcerer's bloodline provides them a bonus spell known, in addition to the spells known granted by the sorcerer class. These bonus bloodline spells do not increase the number of spells the sorcerer may cast per day.

Bonus Feats

Upon gaining a 4th level in the sorcerer class, the character may choose one bonus feat from the list below. The sorcerer's bloodline grants them additional bonus feats for every 5 sorcerer class levels beyond 4th (i.e. 9th level, 14th level, 19th level, 24th level, 29th level, and 34th level). In all cases, the sorcerer must meet the prerequisites of the feat in order to select it.

Bloodline Arcana

Sorcerers with the God-Touched bloodline gain a +2 Circumstance bonus to their Armor Class and all their saving throws until the beginning of their next turn, after they cast any spell from their bonus spells list (see above).

Bloodline Powers

Sorcerer bloodlines grant powers to the sorcerer at 1st, 6th, 11th, 16th, 21st, 26th, and 31st sorcerer class levels. These powers are:

  • 1st: Wasting Gaze (Su): As a standard action, you can destroy creatures you see. This is a ray attack with a range of 30 feet. If you succeed in your ranged touch attack, your Deifically empowered attention inflicts (Circle 2 damage): 1d6 points of damage per character level (max 6d6 at character level 6) of Radiant (energy, uncommon) damage to all creatures struck. This effect can be Manaburned.
  • 6th:
  • 11th:
  • 16th: Fate Walk (Su): You gain the ability to travel across the battlefield by mingling your aura with the closeness to the Divine of severely injured creatures. As an immediate action once per day, you can teleport to an unoccupied square adjacent to any bloodied creature you can see, within 5 feet per sorcerer level you possess. Any enemy creatures adjacent to the square you teleport into take (Circle 6 damage): 1d6+2 points of damage per character level (max 16d6+32 at character level 16) of Radiant (energy, uncommon) damage as you burst into being and shed the Divine Energy that allowed you to move so quickly. Adjacent allied creatures are healed by this energy as if they were affected by a Mass Cure Light Wounds spell. Enemy creatures that make successful Reflex saves against a DC of 10 + half your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier take half damage. This ability may be Manaburned. (This doesn't affect the healing element, alas.) This ability may be used with Feats that affect dimension door, with the GM adjudicating any unusual circumstances. At 20th level, you can use this ability twice per day. At 30th level, you can use this ability three times per day.
  • 21st:
  • 26th:
  • 31st:
