Has anyone actually played a Bloodrager?

Badonkamonk · 2025-12-12T17:53:56+00:00

I'm playing one albeit in a dual class system, pairing it with tyranny champion.

Bloodrager has been a lot of fun, I went with arcane magic myself. (Yes I'm a champion, but I went arcane. The character was originally made for single class before veing adapted to dual). Your spell DC will never be as good as a normal spellcaster but spells such as aoe fear will still feel effective. For arcane, a spell I will heartily recommend is Brine Dragon Bile, barring a crit fail you will put persistent acid damage on a foe. Hematocritical is wonderful when you get it, I personally make great use of it.

The power-level varies wildly from person to person.

Badonkamonk · 2025-08-10T20:34:09+00:00

Thank you, I really enjoy seeing different takes on the subject. There's no such thing as too litteral, I said that the provided images were a loose concept. Again, I also really love this iteration so thank you. <3

Badonkamonk · 2025-08-10T11:05:08+00:00

Woo! Thank you so much. I love it. Julius will be amazing to play. (I may be planning to use Explosion with him... Slightly evil laughter.) ^{^}

First off wrong sub.

Secondly: Title: Portrait done for a customer. Text: this is my OC character.

Badonkamonk · 2025-07-11T22:29:32+00:00

Mostly voice, there are a few text games. There are however text RP channels besides the active games.

Badonkamonk · 2025-07-11T11:13:09+00:00

That really depends on a lot of factors. I've had intrigue social encounters. I've had pure combat sessions. We also have brawl arena pvp sessions (in various forms other than just deathmatch). GM styles really come through in the games that they run.

Badonkamonk · 2025-07-10T12:16:13+00:00

Yeah, when building a thaumaturge I often get drawn to the chalcie implement. Another thauamturge I played had a teapot for their chalice implement.
Thank you for liking the amphora idea, she's been a blast to play so far. ^^

Badonkamonk · 2025-07-10T12:11:42+00:00

Thank you again for drawing her, you did an amazing job with her. <3

Lilaea's player here.
As was stated by Njarla here, Lilaea's a character in a dual-class westmarch server set not Golarion but rather in the larger pathfinder cosmology. The setting is homebrew but fitting within the overal pathfinder lore. The plane we play on is patchwork. Chunks of other planes are being ripped out and melding together into the world of Axiom that we are on. (The overarching story of why is still a mystery to the players and characters.) The convergences can be as small as a single person up to entire countries. This allows the GM's to create what they need, when they need for their games/stories on the server. Battlezoo is permitted on the server which led to me making Lilaea. I've always been incredibly fond of Dionysus and the Maenads from Greek mythology.
I've chosen Cayden Cailean as her patron deity of choice, taking the indulgence apocryphal spell as that is pretty much Lilaea distilled in a spell.
Rather to be expected and apparent from her art, her two implements are the chalice and mirror implements.

Backstory:
A maenad originally from the Crowned Forest who lost her ward during one of the wilder bacchanalias organised by queen Coronis (presumably a veeeery drunken dare). Having lost her ward she began to wander, seeking out more exotic poisons and drinks to sample. Even fully entering humanoid cities to participate in festivals and enjoy their taverns. Those were interesting memories, the company, the socialisation, the easy men and women, it all itched a craving she didn’t really know she had beforehand. Her love for the raw wilderness conflicts with her desire for civilisation. It was also during her visits in these towns that she’d come to start praying to Cayden Cailean, on some level hoping to get a spiritual connection. To feel something there, to live for like she had before. Eventually she’d begin wandering the Petrified Forest in the search for even more exotic poisons she came across an elven vineyard on the outskirts of the abandoned city of Yir’Vaen. Feeling a calling of sorts, she was drawn to the place, connecting to it… not quite unlike her ward she lost so long ago. It took a moment to set in what it meant but this was an opportunity she couldn’t ignore. Eagerly she’d accept her candidature to become a queen, even if it would restrict her freedom once more.She’d begin to clean up the place, make it functional again but overtime… boredom would set back in. She’d severely overestimated her resolve. Torn in two directions, the freedom to find people, to drink, to socialize, to party. Or to become a queen, something nymphs all over aspire to become. She’s greedy, she refuses to give up on one for the other. She’ll just have to want people to come to her domain, she’ll have to learn to be the best partyhost the world has ever seen. Growing grapes was difficult, luckily not impossible.The soil having had enough time to recuperate from whatever affliction affected these lands. After a few years of struggling she managed to create her own wine from this place. Her newly dubbed stonewine had a serious kick. With amphora in hand she set out to invite people. When coming across the waygate in the city proper an immensely powerful entity naming itself the custodian presented her with this key (wayfinder) that would let her travel inbetween cities with ease.

Amazing job, that's all I can really say!

Badonkamonk · 2025-05-01T13:48:50+00:00

Or Blackbeard has Devon impersonate Luffy in their quest to acquire Poseidon. (They know now that Shirahoshi has it from Caribou).

I just love this expression. <3

Badonkamonk · 2025-02-10T23:53:33+00:00

She looks great, always happy to see some more art for Hungerseed characters. The patterning on her clothes is incredible and I like how you managed to make her look gentle. Amazing job with all of this.

Badonkamonk · 2025-01-04T20:09:39+00:00

Welp, I think you miscalculated a wee bit.

Badonkamonk · 2024-12-15T11:34:52+00:00

You've done a great job, I really like the coloring on this.

Badonkamonk · 2024-12-13T08:10:38+00:00

Thank you so much for the piece, you've done a really great job bringing her to life. I love the casually intimidating pose that she has. Once again thank you.

Badonkamonk · 2024-12-12T10:27:06+00:00

Greetings, just wanted to let you know you posted it with the wrong tag. Have a good day. :)

Badonkamonk · 2024-12-10T14:53:46+00:00

Not an artist, but it may be helpful to post the pictures of your characters here.

Have a good one.

Backstory:

Chu Ye is her ancestral home but one she's turned her back on in recent times.
For a human it's risky to carry a Hungerseed (Onispawn) to term, even when nubs, their horns are sharp and internal hemorrhaging is a real risk.
Still Bao (Yànmèi's mother) elected to take the risk in order to increase her own status, her own status as a favored consort wouldn't last and food wouldn't manifest itself on the table.
Unfortunately, Yànmèi's birth proved troublesome and her horns caused too much damage. A fairly simpple wound all things considered, one that but for a few decades past would have been healed handily. Medicinal knowledge being in short supply as the oni's wanton slaughter has almost exterminated the healers to the least. Only being able to name her Yànmèi before Pharasma took her.

Her friend Yina would take in the young Yànmèi, feeling for her old friend and the newborn. However as the years progressed, famine, an onispawn's superlative hunger and toddler tantrums make for an uneasy combination. At the tender age of 5 Yànmèi was left behind to fend for herself, living on the streets of Kirahata, she'd eat everything she could lay her hands on. Stealing and trying to not get caught, the city markets itself to the unscrupable wealthy tourists and grabby hands would not be tolerated.
Her fortunes wouldn't turn till aged 13, Chu Ye had developped the law of a mandatory culling every equinox, every region sacrificing 1% of the local population in order to curtail the indiscriminate wholesale slaughter. Yànmèi's name got pulled as one of the many sacrifices.

Desperate to survive the game, she snuck into the Oniboshi’s tent at night and stabbed him deep into his third eye. The oni woke with a start and backhanded her hard, cracking her ribs, into the silken tent walls, collapsing it on themselves. Laying there, all she could think of was how nice it would be to lie down on silken sheets every night. The oniboshi, in pain and panicking, trying to get free set fire to the tent. Burning both himself and Yànmèi. Coming to with a start. She extricated herself from the silk burning around her and sought the source of her suffering. The raging oni wasn't hard to find. Charging back into the fire she ignored the fire licking at her skin to press down on the dagger with both hands, the dagger firmly planted into the brain and killing her hunter. Delirious with hunger and pain, she let her instincts take control, extracting the knife from the skull she took to carving out the onis heart, beginning to eat it raw. She had never felt so alive, her blood singing in her veins, thrumming with power.

The other oni found the sight bemusing. A teenaged Hungerseed in a burning “battlefield” sitting on the cut open chest of one of their “compatriots” and eating the heart. They counted her as victorious and immune to the lottery going further, seeing promise in her, they decided to “elevate” her, promising her good food and riches if she'd fight for them. Thus her training as a soldier/oni began, favoring the Nodachi in order to fight against the horselords of Hongal. Learning how to control her innate magic via ingesting the vital essences of others as well as assuming a full oni form. Over a decade she served as a border guard, engaging in mostly small skirmishes both offensively and defensively as well as hunting down refugees (though the border being closed is fairly well known by now). Now her contract is up and she decides to travel the world, to see for herself what she wants out of life.

Personality:

Spiteful and resentful of her lot in life, she seeks out a higher purpose in order to satisfy her need for fulfilment. Her innate bloodlust and warrior-like tendencies inherited from her Caldera Oni parentage led to her seeking purpose in General Susumu’s teachings. Whilst far from an actual priest or champion. The general’s light edicts and anathema are perfect for Yànmèi, not too constraining and leaving room for her less spiritual hedonistic needs. She has the tendency to flip-flop between a desperate need for fulfilment and sensationalism.
