Tzivad the Cat Rider, Level 1

 This is a new take on a character that I stated here a while ago as an Alchemist/Skald/Oenopion Researcher. I tried to make him more streamlined and less MAD. He’s still a merry fellow loving a drink, and still can make and imbibe his own potions and throw alchemical bombs, but I tried to save the simplest aspects of his personage. Do you like it more this way or the other?

Wildblooded Bloodline: Eldritch

This is my homebrew rule that I used for Sarnakand’s build. I needed a bloodline to represent someone’s descent from a long line of witches- and not necessarily hags. After all, why shouldn’t good witches get some love?

Eldritch (Wildblooded Bloodline)

Arcane spellcasters from your family received power by mysterious patrons, and these took interest in you too when you were born.

Associated Bloodline: Arcane.

Bloodline Arcana: You count as a witch and as having the hex and patron class features for feats prerequisites and can join a witch coven. You select a patron at 1st level and add that patron’s granted spells to your sorcerer spell list (but not add them automatically to your spells known).

Bloodline Powers: You are versed in hexes and obscure practices.

Hexer (Su): At 9th level, you gain one common hex and may use it as a witch of your sorcerer level. At 17th level, you gain another hex or major hex. At 20th level, you gain another hex, major hex, or grand hex. This bloodline power replaces new arcana.
