[3.5] Taking Multiple Sorcerer Bloodline Feats?
Specifically, the Dragon Compendium feats that give a sorcerer an extra spell known of each level. There's nothing saying that you can't take more than one of them, and there's no real fluff against taking multiple (after all, more magical ancestors = higher chance of being a sorcerer). Are they a good way for a sorcerer to expand their versatility, especially if they have a means of acquiring extra feats (e.g. through flaws)?
Please use they/them/theirs when referring to me in the third person.

Re: [3.5] Taking Multiple Sorcerer Bloodline Feats?
RAW, the Dragon Compendium version - yes, you can take multiples. I think maybe in the original Dragon Mags where they appeared might have forbidden this, but that's irrelevant (from a RAW standpoint) to the DMC versions.
From a roleplaying perspective, having certain bloodline combos might be a little odd. Unless your grandaddy was a treant and your grandma a vampire, reconciling certain pairings might be a little weird.
...and yes, I think bloodline feats are a great way to nab extra spells known, better bang for your buck than any other feat investment I am aware of.
[edit] PS, I don't believe you are restricted to taking them at 1st level only, either. [/edit]Last edited by Thurbane; 2014-09-26 at 02:48 AM.

No, you cannot take more than one bloodline according to RAW. Dragon Compendium, page 88 says, "A character may choose only one base bloodline feat."

Re: [3.5] Taking Multiple Sorcerer Bloodline Feats?
Reasonably speaking, this would probably happen if you descended from Sorcerers of various bloodlines. It does not seem unrealistic, characters with mysterious powers and a tendency to be rejected by society probably have some incentive for banding together. Add in the very high charisma of all concerned and pants probably get lost occasionally.
If you are allowed Pathfinder material, I'd take a look at the Mongrelblooded bloodline, for building a fluff case for the DM.
