Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest 7037866" data-source="post: 9311605">True, but you are getting the "origin" features already from the bloodline, this idea was more meant to create a stronger tie.This brings to mind I think one of the design decisions in 5E concerning classes/subclasses that always bugged me: subclasses give some features to "create the feel", but IMO often miss logical additions that, while adding more power, would certainly also make a lot more sense.For instance, in the first 5E game, one player made a Dragonborn Sorcerer (Draconic bloodline), really going for the "theme". I don't recall which color choices he made for Dragon Ancestry (race trait) and Dragon Ancestor (subclass feature), but I know they were different. I want to say Bronze and Gold, respectively. Now, the bronze gave him lightning resistance, of course, but we played for over a year also thinking the gold gave him fire resistance as well! We were dumbfounded to realize the error---Draconic bloodline does not give you damage resistance according to your color. I know it is a strong addition, but man it makes so much sense and to not have it seems like leaving the subclass lying flat on its face. FWIW, we added it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
