[QUOTE="tlantl, post: 6010420, member: 55225"] Then again the description of the sorcerer allows the sorcerer to use their will power points to feed their bloodline powers directly so the problem isn't as likely to manifest as I first suggested since it seems to be the intent of the class. I would gladly waste will points to gain the Dragon scales protection from energy the bloodline bestows. it's probably a good thing you need to waste all of your point at 4th level to manifest this power.
