Eldritch Heritage: multiple times


Rules Questions


Eldritch heritage does not say it can be taken multiple times but can it?

You've answered your own question. If it doesn't say it can, it can't.


:( o well

Feat Descriptions - Benefit: "What the feat enables the character (“you” in the feat description) to do. If a character has the same feat more than once, its benefits do not stack unless indicated otherwise in the description."

Still, I think that the feat description is talking about 2 weapon focus or similar feats. If you chose different bloodline powers, I don't think the word "Stack" means any thing.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new skill. (Skill focus)

Every time it says "Special" it NEVER stacks. "Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to ..." is always how it starts. I can see it ruled possible, unless you take the whole description of the feat into account. If it adds one, it cannot add another, so to speak.

Sure. If you want to get really pedantic, here's the thing. When the feat says

Quote:


Select one sorcerer bloodline.

(emphasis mine) note that taking the feat more than once does not entitle you to make this selection more than once. Hence, when you can take a feat more than once, making a new selection each time, that is always spelled out.

Good point. That shuts down my Arcane/Abyssal combo : ) But you know how you can get when you really want something. Thanks.
