Here's why:
For balance comparison, consider all iconic full casters (Druid, Wizard, Cleric) and also including the Beguiler and Warlock, and any class with UMD decked out with level-appropriate spell items.
Spells used in the abilities will probably be nerfed as I rework them, but in general they will remain as they are. Consider what the spells do rather than how they are normally gained. This may be a stretch, but please try.
Also, the potential for scaling (feat gains power in accordance with skill ranks, BAB, or caster level) might also include a requirement of adding monstrous hit die but exactly how this will work has yet to be decided.
The v# is version, to keep track of which feats have been reposted on other forums as other incarnations.
An Explanation of Bloodline feats:
- Bloodline feats grant racial bonuses if unnamed. They scale depending on the number of levels a character has, but directly depend upon class properties as listed specifically within each feat.
- The possessor of a Bloodline feat must have a CON score unless different prerequisites are added or substituted (such as an exception for any Construct or Undead Bloodlines, if ever).
- Bloodline Skill feats add the listed skill as a class skill for all your levels.
- Limit one Bloodline per character per 10 levels.
One Feat Is Not Enough Optional Rule
If simply acquiring a Bloodline feat and progressing the abilities is too powerful for your game, there is another requirement that may be needed in addition to the base attack bonus, spellcaster level, or skill rank listed for each stage.
By default Bloodline feats advance in power with the character when applied.
As prerequisites are met new abilitiess are gained.
Instead, when this option is used, Bloodline feat power is limited by the intensity of a character's racial levels. Racial levels are also normally called Racial Hit Dice, but these levels have other properties assigned.
Scale Rating Bonus and Effects
Bloodline feats scale depending on the feat-specific requirement, but also on the "scale rating" benefit provided by each racial level.
When the stage rating accumulates for a race type, new abilities of Bloodline feats relying on that racial type are unlocked.
For each stage gained, a progressive ability of each matching Bloodline feat is gained when the other prerequisites are met.
- The usual scaling for Bloodline feats is an ability when the feat is first gained, then again at levels 1, 6, 11, and 16.
- Bloodline feats with no special requirement listed for scaling improve by character level at levels 2, 6, 11, and 16.

They would then only gain the basic benefit of the feat until their Dragon scale rating improves.
The character is level 1 and adds a racial level of "Dragon" upon reaching level 2; their Dragon scale rating is still 0, though, and they only still only gain the basic benefit of their Bloodlines. If any other racial levels are gained, Dragon will still not advance (excluding exceptions from other abilities if any).
When the character is level 2 and adds one more level of "Dragon" upon reaching level 3, their Dragon scale rating becomes "Stage 1".
Now that Stage 1 has been reached, and any other requirement listed for the Bloodline feat is fulfilled, they gain the Stage 1 ability listed after the basic feat benefit.
Later on, as further stages are reached, the level and prerequisites increase. Without new stages, the feat does not advance, so this Dragon-type character must continue adding levels of Dragon or a class that counts as Dragon racial levels.
Stages are listed in bold under the basic benefit of a Bloodline feat description.
Certain feats or abilities may cause scale ratings for separate racial levels to overlap, allowing 2 or more racial types to benefit from the same scaling bonus. In this instance use the better progression.
Certain classes might also improve specific racial scale ratings as if those levels were also levels of certain racial types. For instance the Dragon Disciple would count as Dragon levels, while the True Fiend would count as Outsider. When not listed, work with your DM to select matching racial types as appropriate to the theme of individual classes.
Comments For Racial Levels Chart
^: If "Character Points" are not used in your game, disregard this information. If they are, this number is the total of all Hit Die values for each racial type. Hit Points are worth -1 CP per +2, Base Attack is -1 CP per rating from Bad (half of levels) to Average (75% of levels) to Good (equal to levels), Skill Points are -1 CP per +2, and Save bonuses are -1 CP for every level that counts as "Good" (with an additional -1 at first level). The total maximum CP is 15.
*: This SCL rating listed is an abbreviation of "Spellcaster Level" and defines a +1 level advancement to any single previously chosen class's spellcaster level, spells known; and spells per day. These advancements are similar to those of prestige classes improving caster ability. Spells are gained and cast as if the character had actual levels of the spellcasting class, and stack with actual levels of the class, but without any other class abilities. Alternatively, invocation and psionics-using classes may be selected as well as any other variant "full casting" class types.
