Roguish Archetype: Bhaalspawn

Over the years, Baldur’s Gate has harbored countless evil schemes and conspiracies. Perhaps the most dastardly, though, was that perpetrated by Bhaal, god of murder, who foresaw his own death during the Time of Troubles. While in mortal form, Bhaal conceived multitudes of offspring, plotting to have them resurrect him. They actively hunted and slew each other, with survivors collecting ever more of Bhaal’s godly essence. You are one such unfortunate offspring or descendent of a Bhaalspawn...

Graz’zt, The Dark Prince

The appearance of the Dark Prince is a warning that not all beautiful things are good. Standing nearly nine feet tall, Graz’zt strikes the perfect figure of untamed desire, every plane and curve of his body, every glance of his burning eyes, promising a mixture of pleasure and pain. A subtle wrongness pervades his beauty, from the cruel cast of his features to the six fingers on each hand of six toes on each foot. Graz’zt can also transform himself at will, appearing in any humanoid form ...

Arcane Tradition: School of the Battlemage

The School of the Battlemage is school that few wizards follow and even fewer have been able to reached the title of Arch-Battlemage. This tradition teaches martial techniques and the arcane formulae that are incredibly taxing on both mind and body. Most of a battlemage’s magical studies revolve around the creation of Arcane Weapons; weapons made of and animated by pure magical energy. With this a blend of weapon, armor, and spells a battlemage is one of the most fearsome opponents any warr...

Divine Domain: Savagery Domain

Savagery is one of the oldest domains. Since the dawn of time creatures have fought, killed, and devoured one another for survival. When ancient beasts first gained consciousness many of them worshipped gods of battle, bloodshed, death, and survival (such as Baphomet, Thard Harr, Malar, Nobanion, Sebek, and Semuanya). Many of this gods have been forgotten by time, but they still hold primordial power that very few mortals of the modern age have seen. Most modern worshippers of these gods isol...

Fraz-Urb'luu, The Lord of Illusions

This hulking menace stands just over 18 feet tall, despite his hunched posture. His muscular body is covered with short, coarse pale-blue fur. Two black, leathery wings protrude from his back, and his coiling tail ends in a cruel razor-sharp point. His face is framed by large, ragged ears, and while his eyes are relatively small, his mouth is overly large and filled with fangs.

A barbarian of this path would have perished long ...

War Domain: Revised

War has many manifestations. It can make heroes of ordinary people. It can be desperate and horrific, with acts of cruelty and cowardice eclipsing instances of excellence and courage. In either case, the gods of war watch over warriors and reward them for their great deeds. The clerics of such gods excel in battle, inspiring others to fight the good fight or offering acts of violence as prayers. Gods of war include champions of honor and chivalry (such as Torm, Heironeous, Kiri-Jolith) as wel...

This massive, bloated demon stands 15 feet tall, his immense frame a hideous combination of muscle and bloated flesh. His head is that of a ram with a great maw filled with tusks, and his thick-furred legs end in cloven hooves. Leathery wings and a barb-tipped tail complete the picture of the archetypal demon.

Collaboration: Way of Chaos

 The Way of Chaos has its origins within the plane of Limbo. This plane is supreme chaos, a twisting, quicksilver place filled with bits of pieces of rocks, trees, the four elements, entire landscapes, string winds, and random pockets of liquid, solid, or gas. The githzerai that dampened the chaos to  livable levels and produce safe environments with their minds were the founders of this monastery.

I highly recommend using this subclass with the  Reborn race for best rolepl...
