[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 9139575, member: 87792"] Point of order - not even slightly true for the Hexblade. More true for the binder. But who you pact with was for individual abilities. You can say that the 4e warlock was based on a 3.5 warlock/binder mix - but the fluff of the 5e warlock is almost exactly the same as the 4e one. The sorcerer [I]isn't[/I] "magic from bloodline". It's "magic from [everything else]" of which bloodline is one relatively rare option. The Aberrant mind states "[I]An alien influence has wrapped its tendrils around your mind, giving you psionic power." - [/I]no bloodline. The Storm Soul states "[I]Your innate magic comes from the power of elemental air. Many with this power can trace their magic back to a near-death experience caused by the Great Rain, but perhaps you were born during a howling gale so powerful that folk still tell stories of it, or your lineage might include the influence of potent air creatures such as vaati or djinn. Whatever the case, the magic of the storm permeates your being." [/I]- bloodline is a possibility but only pretty far down the list of options. The only 5e sorcerer subclass that has much to do with bloodlines other than as an obscure choice is the explicitly named "Draconic Bloodline". This is exactly how it was in 4e.[I][/I] [/QUOTE]
