against my better(?) judgement- here's the finished piece. I tried shortening the face, but it didn't look right. Plus I have dozens of other pieces to work on hahaha 💀

At least I have an inspo piece for if/when she actually does go into bloodrage!

Little update to the Zell character sheet. Still playing around with how his hair falls but I think it looks okay-ish. Not quite sold on the silhouette & waviness considering how tightly he keeps it braided. We continue to adapt

All the Minthara fuckers continually getting fucked by hotfixes is rough.

Guess I'll see if I'm getting the Gale bug before downloading the Minthara fix mod because I'm hankering to continue my playthroughs...

Hag-Riven (Bloodrager Archetype)

(art by Mikakoskart on DeviantArt)

Fans of Pathfinder’s lore concerning the many different playable heritages and ancestries may recall that changelings, regardless of gender or apparent species, are the first stage of life for hags, which is a life cycle of magic and cruelty.

A hag will, using magical disguise or charming, seduce a potential mate from most any ancestry and conceive a child with them, which they usually abandon to the other parent. The child seems like a typical member of their species aside from a few odd traits and personality, but eventually, typically around the coming of adulthood, they hear the call, which pushes them to seek out their hag parent. Some ignore it, but those that do not may end up meeting them, which in most cases, leads to days of torturous rituals meant to drive compassion and kindness from their hearts and finally transform them fully into hags.

But what if the ritual is cut short? What if the changeling escapes, or their hag parent is killed before the ritual is completed? In such a case, they are left changed, brimming with arcane power which smacks of the old magic so commonly associated with hags, as well as a vindictive fury in their hearts that they may embrace, or struggle to keep in line.

This is something of a rarity among bloodrager archetypes in that it implies that the didn’t inherit their powers (at least, not directly), and the archetype’s flavor text also implies the existence of remote towns that enact similar rituals on either changelings or others with a bit of the old magic in them through the same partial ritual to create defenders against hags and other creatures of the old world, turning their power against them.

Regardless of their origin, though, these magical warriors can be frightening destroyers with all those good creepy aesthetics of old magic and witchcraft, and they put it to use well.

These bloodragers do not typically use weaponry, and their hag-touched aspect guarantees that their bloodline must be connected to the old ways, typically the arcane, destined, elemental, fey, or most appropriately, hag bloodlines.

However, they have little need for weapons, for their hands are twisted into wicked and deadly claws which they use with lethal precision. As they master their power, the claws only become deadlier.

What’s more, they can sacrifice spell energy to enhance their claws with magic for a few brief moments, which can include various specific enchantment drawing from the elements and a hag’s gift for manipulating magic.

Over time, their flesh becomes suffused with magic, becoming tough and leathery like that of some hags, helping them resist injury.

Additionally, they become not just good at dealing particularly devastating strikes with their claws, but also causing debilitating effects because of them, which could be applied normally, or flavored as minor curses being conducted through their attacks.

This archetype changes a lot of bloodrager basic abilities that are inherited from the barbarian class, while leaving their bloodline and other magical abilities intact, and that’s perfectly fine. Sure, you lose out on faster movement, damage reduction, and incredible reactions, but you do get to turn them into a natural attack powerhouse with a better AC and a pseudo-magus weapon enchantment ability, letting you tailor your claws to the situation not just with magic but an interchangeable crit debuff feat as well. Of course, your exact build will vary based on your choice of bloodline, and while hag may be the most thematic choice, there is something to be said about all of them.

Becoming hag-riven, whether it be your own family putting you through a monstrous process or submitting to this process to protect others, is a scarring experience. In the latter case, you could literally call it weaponized trauma. The point being that these characters are begging to be written as coping (or failing to cope) with a past traumatic experience, though naturally, it’s easy to get that wrong if you’ve never been through something like that, so it pays to do your research.

At his coming of age celebration, Vakkan the grindylow was subjected to the transformation into a hag-riven, gaining power over the seas. The next week, he murdered both the witch who gave him this power and the chieftain, making him the youngest leader his tribe had ever seen, but with his power over water and ice, he has proven to be a fierce and deadly raid leader.

Magical genealogy is a messy science at best, made even more so by the dubious nature of ogre bloodlines. However, sometimes the right traits are passed on in the worst ways, which is how Mama Kob was born. This ogress is not only hag-riven, blessed with a fierce magical rage, but she also has a measure of mythic power, making her a terror of the Scarred Hills.

A rarity among hags, Grandmother Ilsa rose above the cruelty of her origins, and has quietly mothered various changelings with many different lovers over the years, and never subjected any of them to the transformation. However, while she disapproves, some have undergone a partial transformation of their own volition to empower themselves, though she worries that one day one may go too far and unleash an evil she is becoming too old to be able to stop.

Hello, me am back. Here is another taste of art before I start blabbering again.

Because he is supposed to be skinnier because of how Fetchlings are typically lythe in a superficial way, so I'm trying to make him look thin yet buff enough to look like a barbarian.

I'm not good at body types, and he ended up looking like a complete paradox

But, I have an excuse: Basically, one of the things that the Kytons did to him, or at least a result of what they did was he grew to have a larger skeletal structure. (not just height.) This means that his ribs show more easily.

Another thing is that I'm thinking of making him a two-weapon fighting character, but I'm not sure about that.
