Sword saint and bloodline

[Manarad]

Hi everyone!

Is there any way to make a sword saint choose a bloodline ? mod or something. I really want to play a magical swordlord with bloodline for RP. I think its wonderful for RP, so if anyone knows a way please enlighten me.



Thanks in advance!

That's... uh... extremely feat and stat intensive, but if you insist:
With Eldritch Arcana I suppose you COULD start with Sorc, pick 1 Bloodline, that you won't progress, pick Skill Focus in Skill added by your target Bloodline, then pick feats: Eldritch Heritage (needs Cha 13), Improved Eldritch Heritage (Cha 15), Greater Eldritch Heritage (Cha 17).

Absolutely not worth it, just go with Eldiritch Scion, but since you've asked...

I know its not the most optimal build but i want to play a magical swordlord and for that i need to play sword saint, cause dex based Eldritch scion are awful.

I never use that mod but someone told me that i can only choose Eldritch heritage and with that i'll have to choose a bloodline, so i don't need to spend a level in sorc, is that true ?

Yes.

you don't have to take a level in sorcerer to take the Eldritch Heritage feats. So long as you have the prerequisite Skill Focus, and the a high enough Charisma score you can take the feats. That said, having a 17 base charisma in a class that isn't charisma focused like Sword Saint might prove taxing. Honestly if all you want is to be a swordsman who can use magic and has a bloodline to explain your magical talent then Eldritch Scion really seems like the best Arctype for you.

You should be able to qualify for the feats with a CHA headband to have a lower base CHA, if you're willing to use the item slot for it.

And at that point, if you're modding, you might as well pick up the magic item crafting mod so you can make custom headgear.
