Since sorcerers are supposed to be powered by the nagic altent in their blood, I think it's nicely in style, as well as encouraging players to make amusing Fey, Celestial, Draconic and fiendish variants. Has anyone given this a try? Would it be balanced and feasible?

It works well if the new feats are...encouraged. I allow Sorcerers bonus feats only choosable from a list of weaker than normal feats where the 'bloodline feats' are a bit superior. Some of my Sorcerer variants are tailored to seriously RP some of the features in my world (e.g.: exiled nobles who force-empower their children in a desperate gambit to recover their lost lands) and function like specialist wizards in some ways. Currently, no one has 'settled' for a normal Sorcerer, and I have 5 who have taken at least 2 'bloodline' feats. Only one has gotten high enough to have 4, a Natural Sorcerer that is able to do a poor imitation of a druid, sans shapechange. I have 3 weeks before I have to produce a few more feats for him. I want to have at least 5 for each line.
